Exercise 13: A Standard View

This exercise dictates using one focal length, in my case about 35mm which is roughly equivilent to a 'standard' view. This is a challenging lens length to use because the photo matter and viewpoint must be interesting enough in themselves without relying on the use of wide angle or telephoto characteristics to make the photo interesting. I decided to photograph this morning at our new local Organic Farmers Market here in Brisbane. The weather is hot and sunny and there are plenty of people out getting their organic produce at the market. I have tried hard to capture a variety of views of the market and I think I have succeeded moderatly well with 10 quite different photos which capture the essence of the market - trade, people, fresh vegetables, animals, children and colour!
