Street Photos from Manchester. #1 Street Market and Piccadilly area.

Yesterday I had some time before meeting a friend a took these pictures of the street food Market which is held in Piccaddily gardens, Manchester every Friday.

It's good to support small business people like this, your money is so much better spent than going to a big multinational corporation.

All pics were taken using my Nikon D800, Sigma 1.4 50 mm and edited in Nik collection mostly using Analog Efex Pro 2 .

There is a good selection of street food available there including Turkish food like this stall.

Of course there is some Italian food available.

Traditonal British food which of course includes sausages.

A young girl eyeing up some delicious cakes.

Oranges at the nearby market stall which is there on a more regular basis.

Some fresh breads can be bought too.

Some guys enjoying the food and having a good natter.
