Paid $10 for this
Passed by a chinese porcelain store that had a closing sale today. Saw this gaiwan for 12 but haggled it down to 10 dollars, 180ml volume just measured it and pretty thin walled. Not bad I thought they still have a carton left

Thanks, the first brew is Haiwan 9908 laochatao shu, all crumbles from what the customs left after ripping up the carton box. B......shop_goblin wrote:Fair price.

Camera was from my Sony K850i so the picture isn't very sharp or my hands were shaking due to my replacement of water consumption to 90% tea only as for daily fluid intake. Any advice for making sharper pics with a 5 megapixel camera?

It's not the megapixels, it's the light. Slow shutter speed = blurry pictures. If you had brighter light the camera would take the picture faster and the image would be sharper. Alternately, you could bump up the ISO function. Pic would be grainier but less fuzzy.orguz wrote:Any advice for making sharper pics with a 5 megapixel camera?[/color]
5 megapixels is enough image size for all but poster-sized.
Very nice gaiwan btw.

This explains why most of my night shots don't turn out well. Thank you!GeekgirlUnveiled wrote: It's not the megapixels, it's the light. Slow shutter speed = blurry pictures. If you had brighter light the camera would take the picture faster and the image would be sharper.
Don't see myself ever going past a "point & shoot" type photographer but this info will come in handy (& prevent me from getting mad at the camera! 
).
