What's your market like?
Good day hivers,how are you all doing? I guess you're good as usual,here's my recent post on my photography journey, so I took a stroll into the market to get few things,I could have gone to a different market with an urban setting but I wanted to also take one or two shots,I love this particular view compared to the urban like,there's just something different,it's just like having a sketch and a finished work,sometimes sketch can be fun and interesting.
So I got few things and asked for permission to take few shots because here in Africa and places like this, believes are different some people may find it diabolical just taking their pictures for no reason.
In this first frame is a woman arranging okra capsules and vegetables,I just love the green table,having the red tomatoes table pop at the back
Right here in the second frame,I have the tomatoes table focused on with the seller blurring the background,it was taken in a landscape form
This is a shot of a woman lost in thoughts,I looked at her face and I saw how sad she was, probably sitting,waiting to sell just one thing to start the day, somebody to just branch her table and get something from her,I would have loved to go close and take a clearer picture but that would change her facial expression,she would definitely want to smile at the camera and reposition but that will be too unreal,there'll be no more story to cover,so I did as if I was capturing the pepper table
This last frame is a photo taken in a landscape from to capture the angle and all the events together,so I stood afar,made sure I had few of other things happening in it,such as the bike man,the people walking just to give a perfect scene and sense of an alive market and not just a traders table....so what's your market like?
I took all these with my phone,don't mind me,one day we'll get a real camera and capture life in HD but for now,let nothing stop us,thanks for checking my post
In my country, it is considered impolite to take photographs in public places with people without asking for permission first. Even if you're just trying to capture a building or scenery, individuals passing by may abruptly stop or even move out of the frame. While we don't view taking photos of others as malicious, it's still seen as inappropriate because no one can claim ownership over someone else's appearance, making even a photo of them considered private. This is a norm that the general population adheres to, but newspapers often flout. As a result, journalists are generally perceived as a nuisance.
The market looks interesting. We have a few of those in my town, and our central one is huge with a lot of shops in and around it.
That's true,I totally agree...but as for journalists,I feel people should understand the nature of their job,no work deserves to be treated inferior to others or seen as irrelevant,we all cannot do the same thing(jobs)
Thanks for your view on this,the caution didn't actually come to my mind from this perspective
Interesting view of the market in your place. It is looks almost the same as the one here in my place
Really? Where is that if I may ask?
