Saturday stroll through the biggest and oldest market hall in Budapest. Armed only with the Nikon D7200 and Nikkor 18-35mm f/1.8, so I had to sneak in pretty close in order to get some good pictures of people.
I turned the pictures into black and white because there was such a jumble of colours and different tones of light that it was hurting my eyes. Many of the meat shops were using sickly blue lights, that together with the natural light coming from outside, and the yellow tones from the "street lamps" are not pleasing to look at.
The upper floor was mainly full of tourist crap; funny t-shirts, keychains and supposedly handmade Hungarian crafts, but I can spot a machine made lace from a mile away. The ground floor was much better, with fresh produce and local products. It's always interesting to go to food markets and see what is the IT thing in their country, in Hungary it's of course paprika, in terms of alcohol there is Tokaji and Palinka, and then there was a lot of lavender and honey being sold. We didn't actually end up being anything else than some fruits for snacks but it was a fun experience to walk through the market, watching people.
