I’ve tried photographing markets before, without much success. Too many people. Too much clutter. Not enough compositions. I thought I’d give it another go because it’s what tourists with cameras do.

The last of winter, Pt 3 – breakthrough
I’m not sure how long I can keep posting this series before the winter becomes too distant to be meaningful, but it was a very productive morning.

The last of winter, Pt 1
Frosty fog in the dawn light, hiding clutter and context. Isolated shapes in place of familiar views. Receding planes of grey. A morning to treasure after weeks of flat, dark, steel-grey skies. An hour of billowing variations in density and luminance. Until – gradually – the rising sun burned-off the mist to leave clear, sharp light. Still a lovely morning, but not where my mind was. So, home for coffee and Photoshop.
