'everybody invloved tip'

3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

l_joo 2925 reviews

This 'everybody invloved tip' gave readers an overall view of the early market from a certain wider angle with that lady in orange-pinkish full dress obviously catching the most attention while elder citizen in grey black taking number two spot. Dot-dot aunty third and forth places went to the assguy in light blue.

Now if you look closer into this tip in hyper-concentration for 5 minutes without a blink of your eyes, you will be assured a full complete happiness of what she did there with her newly born baby inside a colorful traditional ermm...backpack. Please do click the picture to enlarge, this picture is far better quality than earlier ones. I like this photo very much.

Buying eggs

3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

l_joo 2925 reviews

Woman in traditional outfit looking for eggs to buy, but for what pupose I ain't quite sure, I am looking with my tourist's point of view, I am very sure this kind of shot is not to be missed, although its the back shot but it save me time to take front shot. To do front shot is very wasting time, I have to at least wait and say "hello one photo please" and then I might ended up telling 10 minutes' of what I did here etc.

Pink and blue combination

3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

l_joo 2925 reviews

A woman is seen here selling vegetables in crouching position. Most of them still squating because they lay their stuffs on the floor. I can walk around with camera shooting from my standing angle. Lots of photogenic scenes, I wish I have more time to explore. They are not so particular about peoples watching them with camera, so why not take more.

More on shoulders

Now we have two guys selling fruits the same way as a tip above also very heavy walking all over the place in the early morning. This is a mother and son at the back street nearby the crowded market. Never under estimate women in China, they are very strong in physical fitness and strength.

Carry on shoulder with a pole

l_joo 2925 reviews

A man selling fruits in traditional way when I was eating my breakfast of porridge and pow. I saw him walking with such heavy load of basket fruits from one end to the other, sure much heavier than my backpack. He must be very strong in his shoulder, if I did like him, I will be that strong too but not possible, I can only sit in front of computer, for living. He admires me and I admires him, probably.

Women busy packing up their bought items in bags, although I don't want to know what that is but quite sure it was something for eat by humans. Again it was not a good shot due to bad photography skills and my cheap digital camera. I will not use it anymore.
