Air-con morning market Photo

Photographer’s Note

To all TE members, I am back after another TE member reminded me my last upload was at least half a year ago!

I took this shot in a shopping centre on a Saturday. My purpose there was to collect my current camera which was down for shutter replacement after 46,000+ shots.
It was around 10:45AM and shops were slowly opening their doors. In most of the shopping centres here, shops are normally open at around 10-11AM. Most of the shops will close at 10PM.

While I was exiting the shopping centre, I saw some stalls started their business. Just to try out my repaired camera, I rested my hands on the railguard near the escalator to compensate for the slow shutter speed.

For this photo, I had rotated the shot as it was taken from an angle. Photo was cropped to zoom in the stalls.

Do provide any comments or critiques or just a simple Hi from TE members.

Thanks !

Hi Chai, an urban and/or indoor version of the market stalls I have had seen elsewhere, taken from an elevated position.One I remembered well is the photo of the Pasar Sri Khadijah in Kelantan. You might like to come here again during peak hours to experiment with slow shutter to get the ghostly motion effect of the people, milling around the stalls.
It's great to know the 300D is still repairable. I keep getting Error 99 from my 300D and the auto focusing is gone.
Regards
Bani
