Sunset Jma el Fna, a photo from Marrakech, South

Photographer's Note

It was just after sunset. The barbecue people had already brought their grills, meats were ready for incoming customers. I wasn't tired to get more pictures from this unique set alhough thousands of other photographers had probably done sone.
I those this one among my collection because I think that the sunset colors give a golden hue to the image. I ıncreased the ISO setting in order to get less blur of moving people.

best to you izzet,

You've done a fine job of capturing the smoky, crowded atmosphere of the d'Jemma el Fna at twilight. The combination of artificial lights and sunset sky is great. Nice that the people in the foreground are mostly women in head scarves, not foreign tourists. It's good you kept the shutter speed not too slow. Well done, it bring back memories! Regards, Ken.

A lovely atmospheric piece, Izzet. In addition to the fine sweeping composition that gives a pleasant overview of the place with the people having food and the wrought-iron lampholders, I also salute your technical judgment to bump up the ISO in order to avoid blur, as in this photo it is really better to have the details crisply rendered. Well done.

What a fascinating photo is this...a technical masterpiece in my humble opinion...the play of light, fog, shadows and faces are melted into this supremely moody, peaceful and festive atmosphere...tremendous depth in this low light photo

Hi Izzet.
What was the ISO of this photo?
Really I love this photo. The colour, the people, the... all, all is good here.
I think that is not your first in TE about markets in Morocco, anyway is a great work.

Thanks for share.

Hello Izzet,
A very interesting market shot. The sunst colors are amazing, as they illuminate the people in a strange light. I also like the blur.
Have a great new week.

İzzet Bey merhaba,
6 günlük D.Karadeniz turunu bu gün tamamladım ve ilk işim tabii ki sizden "kaç poz" ayrı kaldığımı araştırmak, kaçırdığım güzellikleri hemen yakalamak oldu :))
Işığı, renkleri ve mistik kompozisyonu harika bir çalışma olmuş.. Tebrikler..
Sevgiler-Coşkun
