Watermelon seller

We missed the turn for something I wanted to see and ended in this lively commercial area. Unfortunately, the shutter speed was too slow (and we were moving) so it’s not very sharp, but I liked the scene too much to not post it. My excuse is that I’m just learning how to use the new camera ;-).

Or maybe I should just blame the camera. Once again I don't find the pictures sharp, and some are downright unusable. I'm coming to the sad conclusion that this model Sony for one thing doesn't do shots from a moving car too well; perhaps it takes too long to focus. It does seem to do better than the Mark 3 in capturing intricate detail, say on a gate. So the jury is still out on this one!
