Description
m&m's WORLD store on Times Square. I am never gonna be able to forget that guy dressed up as a giant yellow mm dancing around the store
I am not too good with night photos, so mostly I was just messing with different lighting and exposure. The biggest problem turned out to be my shaky hands, I definitely need a tripod...

Hey no worries I am convinced I am mentally seven years old. I get excited by colours and chocolate. And glitter! Or colourfully wrapped chocolate! So in fact not much has change since I was a kid

That area has changed so much over the years.
I remember when it was filled with more weirdos and you have to be somewhat careful. The food was cheaper back then too.
Great shot.

The food is really expensive that is true....
But the weirdos... well there are still a lot of them. At least it was too late for the dressed up cartoon characters harassing people. I have it on some other photo how one of the superheros tries to steal a kid from his mom and pulls it in the opposite direction 
So I guess there are even more weirdos there during the day now

Well I am glad I do not have to deal with those.
Dora the explorer char: Wanna date?
Male Tourist: Yeah sure!

Diego: Dame tu dinero! (Give me your money)
Swiper:Se le ha robado (You are being robbed!)
*The tourist gives them the money for his pants*

Watch your pants when you do!

I am a girl watching my pants or skirt won't help as much as running. I somehow believe running in a giant costume is somewhat difficult.

Yep.
Taking to one's heels while not wearing heels would work.

Lucky for me I'm mostly there when I'am taking pictures and heels do not work for that
That Dora was always suspicious. Who's next D: I hope it is not the Cookie Monster D:

They had a news article about the costumed chars and the Cookie monster was causing trouble.

*Scene in an NYPD interrogation room*
*The Cookie Monster sits on one side of a table while a detective sits on the other side*
Detective Myers: What happened to you Cookie? My kids adore you!
Cookie Monster: My life, it crumbles like a cheap cookie, hard edged and painful to eat.
Cookie Monster: At first I was on top of the cookie bag but then I got some pot flavored cookies. How do they put pots in cookies?
Cookie Monster: From there it was the hard stuff, Dark chocolate and macadamia nuts.
Cookie Monster: I just was not making enough at Sesame Street to pay for my habit...

Damn good for a night shot without a tripod.
As far as just "messing" with different lighting and exposure, an excellent result. Keep doing it.
Oh, about that guy dressed up as a giant yellow M&M....
Funny Story.
I was the yellow M&M in a commercial shot at Magic Mountain, California 11 years ago. It never aired because I was too "muscular" for an M&M. Still got paid, but no residuals for the replaying of the commercial. Casting got their ass chewed for that expensive boo boo.

Thanks 
The yellow one is my favourite!

you definitely need to take more photos, sis, that's for starters
secondly, it looks great. nevermind that I'd probably start screaming like a little Bieber fangirl when I walked into a m&m's store like this!

imagine my expression! i was drooling all over the place! and just HAD TO try every possible mms flavour. How come you were in NY and missed the mms empire?
Yeahhh more pics... if only there was someone who could teach me how to

I do not know HOW I missed the M&Ms heaven but it's definitely on the list of places to go once I revisit NYC, worry not!
plenty of tutorials on photography out there, sis. no excuses for lack of information and guidelines when you have internet connection

Not good enough. There are plenty if you are look for something very specific. But not much when it comes to basics I can't find a single relevant thing anywhere!
