The lighting has come out spot on though eh
just enough glow in the sky

I cant wait to get some shots from the fair this friday!
They pop up everywhere these fairs dont they?
did you find anything good?

Considering the lighting challenge you faced, Pete, you appear to have captured the light nicely!

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks both, I waiting for the couple to get in frame but the light behind the stalls was very low so I needed to boost that quite a bit to keep the lighting in the trees looking right.. I have a few more images which I need to sort out. As for things from the market itself, no, just the usual Chinese junk you see everywhere these days. There is a more traditional one though which, if I get a chance, I might have a look at. Otherwise it'll be Potsdam and Berlin at the weekend.

Wow, they have a stall selling Chinese Junks!

Now that I want to see - how do they get them into the market? Sail them up the river and then drag them over-land??

 

[Pete Askew]

Actually, now you come to mention it I guess it must be by river (Vienna - Danube, Potsdam - Havel). I hadn't given it much thought before but now I'm getting a bit worried. It's just the one and always the same Chinese Junk. Are they following me or what?!!!!
