I liked the light in this scene from yesterday in the Fish Market. The delivery man was trying to work out how all the stock would fit on his bike!

Re: The conundrum
Phil,
The story comes through beautifully, and the light looks like the flash of inspiration he was hoping for. The exposure is spot on,
as is the light/dark balance. Really nice shot.

Re: The conundrum
As they say Phil, "it's all about the light". And this is particularly true with this image. I wish I could take shots like that !!

Re: The conundrum
Thanks Kevin and Dave. I wished I'd stopped down a little more to get the whole bicycle sharp, as I shot it at 1/100th, ISO1100, f2.8. I could have just about got away with around 1/60th, ISO3200 and f5.6, but it was a quick grab so I didn't get any chance to reshoot. It helps to look for soft directional light when it's 45c in the shade - that pushes you to find covered areas after a couple of minutes, and alleyways with an opening to the harsh light create a nice effect
