Evening in Market Photo

Photographer’s Note

I live near Walthamstow. One of the nice suburb of London.

Walthamstow Market is the longest (though not the largest) daily open market in Europe, stretching for around a mile (1.2 km). Started in 1885, it has over 500 stalls.

The market near the town square has kept a traditional cockney feel whilst absorbing influences from the diverse cultures of the area. Stalls and shops on the market sell goods such as south Asian foods and Caribbean music alongside one of London's most famous pie and mash outlets, L. Manze, which opened in 1929.

The traditional market, which is lined with small shops, is always lively. The market, offers fruit and vegetables, cheap clothing, leather, fabrics, and household goods.

Hello Figen
Excellent work. The frame is very good and colors too. I like the most the man with the 2 melons! Maybe if the foreground was a few tones brighter total work would be better.
The composition and the atmosphere is fantastic. regards Argyris

Hello Figen,
Interesting to see you're ready for Christmas in early November!
This is a fine low light capture, conveying the typical autumn atfernoon mood very well...
A well balanced composition from this busy street!

Merhaba Figen, the golden light is beautiful, we can guess some people and the busy atmosphere of this market is well represented. Plenty of fine details to observe...
Compliments,
Cath.

Hi Figen,
Only now I noticed that I hadn't write about this one.
The warm tones of sunset and the arch sketched by the silhouettes of the houses and the Christmas decorations (I see that they put it very early up there) make it very interesting graphically. I am not sure if some more detail (just a bit not too much) on the street below would be good, but anyway, we can still perceive the activity and that darkness makes it special.
Regards, José.
