Street Vendor

Street Vendor

Istanbul’s streets are full of vendors selling their stuff.  At night, it is mostly food.  This guy had found a nice covered spot where the figures in the window would watch over him and he was doing good business.  His chosen location was not ideal for photography, though.  The majority of the light is from the window, so we did a lot of lighting of the shadows and subsequent noise reduction.  While clearly not “exhibition quality”, there is something about the frame we like.  As the web format is quite forgiving, we decided to post…

.

Gatene i Istanbul er fulle av selgere.  På kveldstid er dt for det meste mat. Denne selgeren hadde funnet et skjermet sted å stå hvor utstillingsfigurene passet på mens han gjorde forretninger.  Stedet var dog ikke det beste for å bli fotografert.  det meste av lyset kommer fra vinduet, så uten hjelp i post prosessering er han bare en siluett.  Vi har lysnet mye i skyggene og brukt støy reduksjon.  Dette er helt klart ikke “galleri kvalitet” men web formatet fjerner det værste av støyen så vi postet allikevel.

  4. Shame the Active D-Lighting on your D300 wasn’t cranked up to full – might’ve got some more of the darker detail. Nice shot though. I like your composition.

  6. I like the square format of this. I also like how the mannequins seem to form a small crowd. Good for business! If this man is selling food, he should really make it look more appetizing! I very much like the window lighting as it gives it a nighttime feel… which it was. Very nice. And how did we suddenly get to Istambul??

  7. Great candid shot, you have framed it nicely with the window, it really looks like the mannequins are looking over him, making sure he is safe. Nice

  9. A little fill flash would’ve lit him up nicely but this is still an interesting capture. I like the bold colors and brightness of the window display. Provides and interesting contrast.

  10. Spooky, how the mannequins watch the street. Love the backlighting of the wet street.

  15. Nice how the actual subject of this image is in the shade, and the background gets full focus!

  16. Hasta que uno no sienta la verdadera alegría de Navidad, no existe. Todo lo demás es apariencia – muchos adornos. Porque no son los adornos, no es la nieve. No es el árbol, ni la chimenea. La Navidad es el calor que vuelve al corazón de las personas, la generosidad de compartirla con otros y la esperanza de seguir adelante.

  17. A Merry and peaceful Christmas to you and yours !

  18. What do you mean not exhibition quality! Photography is about manipulating light and capturing an atmosphere… which is clear here. I like it.
