Tibetan Bazaar

Went to a Tibetan Bazaar last weekend with 2 friends (planned on going with the Facebook Photography group, but was too tired to go when they went earlier in the day!)

Didn't really get any killer shots, but here they are anyway. My fave was actually taken on the way home!

Cute kid.


Pretty fabrics... I bought a lovely scarf... I'll have to take a photo of it.



Cute little lady (not a great shot, I know)

Not really sure what this is... anyone know? It looked cool though...

Really nice and friendly people who ran one of the stalls. They gave me an information sheet and invited me to come to their Tibetan Centre to take photos one day when they're practicing (or whatever the correct term is within Buddhism)


These are statues of goddesses they were selling. I think this is Tarah but I forget which one.


Pretty sure this is white Tarah.
(corrections welcome!)



Translation, anyone?


My favourite shot of the day (except one I haven't processed yet). The girl sitting on the right was a nice surprise when I looked at the shots (I got ready with my exposure settings etc and the angle I wanted and put the camera on rapid fire when the train got to a good point, so of course I wasn't 100% sure if I got the perfect shot).

I remember Nina telling me about this festival, she dropped her books off at my place so she could go with you, I suppose you could thank me ;-)
