    This month's photo topic is "Shopping" -- Holiday shopping can provide some interesting subject matter.

    Happy shooting!
    Again, the rules are simple:
    • Should be be using some canon gear , this is a canon forum after all.
    • Shot with the assignment in mind, go out and shoot something new don't dig up something from the archives.
    • and most importantly have fun.

    Craig, colorful photography looks lively and full of material.

    On the 21st I went out with the camera to a shopping area near my house. Along the way it became darker until night fell, that's why the white balance is not very even due to the change in lighting, although I have tried to fix it with the editing software, it has not been possible. Also some photos came out weak or slightly shaky, even though I set the ISO to automatic.

    The first photograph I took of these three people, who were a few steps ahead of me. Ir de compras.jpg

    The second are these two young people who do not seem very satisfied with their purchase.

    The third, inside a store I saw a man in a green jacket with a bored look on his face and decided to shoot. When I looked I saw that I had caught a security guard inspecting a buyer's bag.

    In this part of Barcelona, they have set up some stalls near a department store, imitating a famous fair that exists in the city centre and runs from Christmas to Epiphany on 6 January, when in Spain we celebrate the Three Wise Men from the East, and it is customary to give toys to children. In this case, they sell small things to give as gifts. A saleswoman in her cubicle is the protagonist of this photo.

    Taking advantage of this last photograph I took when I got home, of the community's Christmas tree, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Árbol de Navidad.jpg

    Don't we all hate having, to wait especially when there is a delay.
