Decided to take my new 50mm 1.4 to the wet market. This is the market we shop in here in China. We buy most of our meat and vegetables from this market. It was a big change for us coming from America but now it seems like a normal place to shop although the smells can still get to you even after 8 years here. This is enclosed but not heated the temperature today was about -1° C (31° F) so that is why they are all wrapped in extra clothing and scarves. You can read about the whole experience of the market on my BLOG
These are all shot in available light which was a mix of ambient, tungsten, and fluorescent. This made for very complex white balance problems as you can see in some of these photos.
Here is my eldest daughter at the vegetable stand.
and here is one of the vegetable man himself (wish I could have got a little more interesting background on this just nothing behind him in his stall)
a shot of some of the fish at the market (I know that it is not people just a fun shot)
A shot of the meat man (really struggled with white balance on this one)
A shot looking down the market for an idea of what it is like
One of the lady who sells us our chicken
and one last one of her and her husband at their chicken stand very mixed lighting at this spot
