Your pictures are wonderful! ^_^

Thank you hun!
I know, right? I had to stop at the angle I wanted to view it at and take as many shots as I could from that position, and people were like pushing me out of the way and I was out of my mind, shouting: CAN'T YOU SEE I AM TRYING TO TAKE A MOTHERFUCKING PICTURE! MOVE ALONG AND STOP INTERRUPTING MY WORK! xDDDDDDD

I hate crowded places.

Not really. The one I took them at is just like any other food market.

Me, a great photographer? Hahahahaha x) That was my first time out with a camera. I spent about 2 hours hanging about in the market, getting stares from tourists cause they were like "woah that chick's camera is way better than ours!" LOL

As for my avatar... errrr YES! Yes, yes, yes! I made that picture, how good am I?

Edit: Oh and, thanks a lot Eggs; I mean, Eks... I MEAN! Ex

Hahahahaha, I could picture you saying that.
Crowded places suck, I'm always throwing elbows and kicking people.

: D Are you planning on taking any more pictures soon?

I dig all of 'em. The second one looks a tad strange though, since the difference in focus is so great. Besides that, rockin' photographs.

Internet pron. Har har.

[kenmei]

camera is a nikon d40 btw

third looks a little blown out (over exposed)

others are ok, the extreme bokeh of 2 is kinda much though..

[kenmei]

so for the 3rd pic to show you what I mean, I ran it thru photoshop real quick...




vs. the original:






a way to remedy this is don't shoot such a long exposure time with that high of ISO. If you have to due to bad lighting conditions, use your flash instead.

No, I don't have one. I'm not really that much into photography, I don't even have a proper cam >.< (although I can borrow one anytime I like, but only for three days at the max.).

I guess so. The course only started 4 weeks ago and will finish in late December. I'm more interested in video-making but I'm kinda taking a liking to photography so I might try to get a good camera second-hand for Christmas.

I meant for it to look that way. I wanted the difference in focus to be more apparent than real and highly evident. But perhaps I pushed it a tad too hard.

How'd you know? O.O I'll find out on Tuesday, that's my next class.

Meaning I spent too much time trying to get the right focus on the tomatoes?

Thank you! I wasn't allowed to use flash or edit the shot in any way, it had to be the original lighting it was under.

exif viewer is a plug in for firefox (like internet explorer) that a lot of amatures and pro photographers use to see what kind of settings other photographers used to get their shots. it helped me learn a lot as to what kind of settings i need for what kind of shots.

it looks like this:
