It is hard work, She deserves a good nights rest. Some of these people work monday to sunday. Us people in the western world should not really complain about doing some overtime as it is nothing compared to the amount of hours some people here work!

As you can see, i was only in this market for an hour or two and took many many images. You could have a field day as a street photographer in this place. i recommend you go to places like this when they are setting up shop or closing. It is the best time to take photos in a market because you get to see and capture interesting expressions and story’s to your images.

What i should have done and would do next time is that i will do a mini series where i will go to a market area similar to this, be it here in the UK or another country and go in the morning before they open and then back in the evening when they are closing and try to take a picture of the same stalls on a “before and after” series.

Hope you enjoy the pics. It is just a mini update. I have one more little series to edit and post before i reveal the next area i visited.

Thank you all

Fun in the market then!

You might want to tone down the watermarks or something, as I'll be honest, I find it far too distracting to look at the photos!

Awesome!

Looks like you had a blast there. Did any of the people you took photos of talk to you afterward? (referencing the above post?) :D

Haha yes I will tone it down a bit and make it less obvious. Yes some did talk to me hehe. I also had to delete one from a candid shot I took of a guy who did not want me to take his picture.

Hehe. Do you have any scenic shots? Such as of the landscape/mountains? I love me some landscape photography.
