Same thing happens in Russia. People walk around all day with dustpans and brooms made out of little sticks, sweeping dirt off the streets. Highly ineffective from what I saw.

Considering the cost of a mechanical street sweeper to them, It could be very cost efficient.
especially at the low wages they can pay.

Teehee!

This would be great if the sky weren't clipped all to hell. Recommend waiting until the sky's being more photogenic and going back with a polarizer or gradual ND filter.

Looks like it was taken through a car window.

My favorite of the set. This is a great pic. I think it would be better with a shallower DoF (which would also have allowed you to shoot at less than ISO 1600, both of which make this shot look like it was taken with a cheap P&S) but I might very well be wrong.

Was in China myself a while back, this is Xi'an, the Terracotta army. Not a photographer myself just for show.

When I had it on automatic it kept wanting to use the flash, even when the sun was bright.

Your camera probably has an equivalent of the "P" mode on Canons. Automatically sets shutter speed and aperture, but leaves decisions like ISO and whether or not to use flash to you.

(Or you could use it in Aperture priority, shutter priority, or manual)

"NO U"

No u?

Ye it got P.

You can also set the auto iso's limits, so that it doesn't go above or below certain values, like say 100 to 800; then you don't have to worry about noise from 1600 unless you really need it.
