My attempt at shooting a street market turned out to be fruitile.

67 / 365
So at some point this week, I just had to drink a can of man-up and do a street shot. This is for the Street Photography Now challenge, to match the quote "If you can smell the street by looking at the photo, it's a street photograph"
My mission for today: Go for a walk, find something with a smell, take photo, shove camera in bag, stealthily walk away and if anyone asks, pretend you have never heard of this new invention called a camera. Mission accomplished.
Obviously could have done this better but maybe in a few weeks, I might stop being embarrassed and take more than one attempt.

For a first attempt I like it. I can smell the greengrocers from here! That, and feel the damp misty rain soaking through my shoes. Oh, England.

nice shot!

I like the POV. The people don't seem to be bothered by your shooting pictures and that's good. It looks natural.

This is great Disha, I like the movement and the splash of fruity colour in the corner.

Wonderful street shot, I especially like how the people get together in the middle of the traffic lanes to congregate....must not have much traffic there....Well done

A very nice street shot, Disha.

Good effort. Can't wait to see more from you as you get braver.

This is terrific. Keep it up...I find that when I pull the camera out I become invisible (if people do notice they politely move out of the way because they just KNOW that I'don't want their photo...believe me it gets easier. Surprisingly the more busy a place is the less people notice you...

lol. I like the pop of color from the fruit!
posted May 11th, 2012  
I'm still going to try to give this a go this week. Browsing the entries thus far, I think you're contending for one of the better shots! Great job!
