Jagalchi fish market - Busan - S Korea

[Unframed Dave]

I do love me a market!

This is the biggest fish market I've ever been to and the most visceral.

I've included a phone snap of the plate of sea squirt and sea cucumber sashimi we were given with our lunch. I tried, but I didn't enjoy it in the least.

The meat in the white cabinet is pre cooked whale.

Santa Clause is drumming up interest in Busan's upcoming bid for the world Expo 2030. I hope they get it. Why santa? Answers on a postcard.

Nice shots. It looks like a good place to get over one's shyness of street style photography.

Thanks,

my wife and I retired nearly 7 years ago with the intention of seeing the world. We were going strong until covid struck. I set myself the target of fifty countries before I turned fifty. I made 49. Some places are OK with it and others less so, if you can engage with people, it helps, there's a woman in one of the shots above who was trying to scare the westerner with a small octopus, it didn't work as I've spear fished them, cleaned, cooked and eaten them, the bloody thing turned round and started making it's way up her arm, to put it politely, she very nearly soiled herself. My wife got a far better shot than I did. We ended up eating in her "restaurant" for lunch. I think we should always put something back into the community.

Yeah, you have to get over that shyness.

One technique I use is to find your subject and frame a shot around them, rather than directly at them. Once they've forgotten about you, turn the camera and quickly take the shot, you either get it or you don't. Don't keep pointing at them, as they'll soon get annoyed.

Small, unobtrusive lenses and cameras work best.


Apologies if I'm telling anyone how to suck eggs.

There have been enough posts here about folks trying to overcome this fear that anyone who wants to give it a try would find this information valuable. It seems like every 30 days or so someone will post about it. This gives me an idea:

I propose you start the thread in this forum to offer guidance and provide tips. Other experienced street photographers can add to it. We neophytes could ask questions. It would be a great clearing house and maybe get some of us up an out. @Timothy Mayo could pin it to the top so it's easy to find and add to.

Eh?

 

[FowlersFreeTime]

@Unframed Dave nice pictures as usual.
FWIW, I also didn't fancy the sea squirt when I tried it in Japan.

 

[Uncle Kevriano]

Great pics, but these markets scare me.

 

[Landshark99]

I have found it better in the long run to be up front about shooting people on the street, in shops or at the market, treat them with respect and not like a tourist object and you will get far better images from them. There will always be some who don n0ot wish to be photographed, in some parts of the world they make ask for a "donation".

Whilst I try not to get into keyboard arguments, the implication that I have treat anyone with disrespect is quite presumptuous.

I can't say that I'm a big fan of posed street photography, so I guess the message is that there's no right or wrong answer.

 

[Landshark99]

I was not implying you were disrespectful i find the technique of "One technique I use is to find your subject and frame a shot around them, rather than directly at them. Once they've forgotten about you, turn the camera and quickly take the shot, you either get it or you don't. Don't keep pointing at them, as they'll soon get annoyed." can seem disrespectful. I am also not saying that posed street photography is the way to go either. I have found that if one just blends into the scene,spends some time, people are less concerned with you being there, taking photos, giving one the best images possibilities. I understand that this way it takes longer to shoot, but I have found it to work well.

Hope I don't get that hungry!
