Things have been a little hectic on all fronts around our household, so last Saturday we decided to change things up a little and head to our local Farmer’s Market.  Since I hadn’t done a lot of shooting lately, I grabbed my camera.  My wife asked me what I was going to take pictures of, and I aid “I don’t know.”  Sometimes I think I spend too much time thinking about what I’m going to shoot, what time of day, what the weather will be like, etc.

Ultimately, what is important to do is just shoot, and let the rest just come to you.  So I did, and it was great fun.  Here are a few samples from the day:

Loose Candy

Dried

Farmer’s Market Jars

Old Door at the NC Farmer’s Market

Horrified Birdhouses

Contrast at the Statuary

Self Portrait at the Statuary

Grumpy Cupid

It was nice to do some easy shooting, without any real pressure of losing the light or any hard-core theme – it was fun to just shoot!  Most of the time when I do this I’m drawn by color, texture or a story and there is a little bit of all of those here for me – hope you enjoyed them!

As a note, it was my first real day out with my bargain-priced Snoop bag and I had the camera on my Black Rapid Arca rig all day, and both performed flawlessly.
