Markets, a photo from Istanbul, Marmara

Photographer's Note

Today - 2 of Istanbul's markets.
The main photo shows the Spice Market not far from Galata Bridge and Yeni Cami mosque. The most memorable product that we bought at the market was real and beautiful Lokum (known to most of you as Turkish Delight).
In the WS is a photo of the Old Book Bazaar.
Scanned from negatives.

Hello Ian,
Two very nice photos to my liking. Lots of local atmosphere, details to discover, colours and people. Istanbul is probably my all time favourite city, so I appreciate these photos.
Best regards,

Hello Ian,
You found a good viewpoint to overlook the market, I like the composition with the foreground full of people passing by (they don't seem to be potential customers) and the many spices on offer in the large stall behind them. Well done.

Hi Ian,

You have captured well a daily life scene. The point of view is showing the details of the market. The light is giving good colors output. Have a nice day.

Vibrant picture of the local market place, Ian.
Though its an old scanned photo, still maintained good quality.
Good evening,
Ike

Hi Ian,
I bought recently some Turkish delight in the UK and it didn't taste well at all, very different from the real locum.
Lovely scene here looking down at the busy market scene.
It feels like an archival. I do admire the quality of your scans.
Very well done,
M

Hello Ian, I like the oriental bazaar's atmosphere, even if I do not buy anything. And I also like Lokum.

excellent these two images showing the local market. In such places we can find even some curious products we don't have in our homeland.

take care

I love markets and I like how much there is to see here. Much activity and good details from your scan.

Hello Ian,
Did you take this from an overhead pedestrian crossing? If you did, let me tell you that they are no longer there. Instead, there is a giant underground crossing with shops near Yeni Cami. Where was the used book market?
