Markets, Simple oui ? NON !
I struggled at first to understand Aperture (which is the required element to display in the market shots) as well as the manual settings it took me a good few hours to play around with the camera to adjust it correctly and experiment with it until i got the hang of it.
I first took my camera along to Carlisle Market but as it was my first attempt i knew i had to collect more dynamic shots to exhibit my skills.

This image was taken in Carlisle market and i tried to slightly focus more on the second row of apples and the prices.
Also taken in Carlisle market i focused on the brown wool.
Again taken in Carlisle i shot this with a thick pane of glass between my lens and the sausages so tried hard to reduce glare.
Taken in Carlisle Market i focused on the pink ribbon as it appeared to be the most striking and vivid colour.
Again thinking about colour i decided to pick out the gold shoes and made them appear to be the dominant pair in the shot.
When i was in Barcelona in January 2011 i captured many unique and cultural images and this was taken in one of their many markets.
This was at the back of the market in Barcelona and i took the image as it had vivid colours and a strong contrast between the fresh fruit and the dingy back alley. I focused on the fruit leaving the alley to the imagination.
When i altered the Aperture settings the shutter speed became quicker and i had a blue tint to my images, The meat in the picture was hanging from a market stall in Barcelona.
Chillies in Market Barcelona.
I used the aperture element to focus on the centre object.
Barcelona Market.
Main entrance to the market in Barcelona, The lighting and stalls throughout made a symmetrical photo and the aperture added to the depth of field.
In a different outdoor market in Barcelona i visited a jewellery stand and captured these bracelets to demonstrate aperture with different textures.
