Siti Khadijah Market Photo

Photographer’s Note

Indoor traditional market at Kota Bahru, Kelantan. Taken from the second floor. A very soothing place and also quite windy. Hmm, i am really bad at story telling, so that's it.

I know the image is yellowish,hehe, but you are free to edit and repost it. Thanks.

So much to see there and you don't have to tell a story about this scene, the picture is talking itself ! Just well done !

This is another classic shot that embodies all things Kelantanese - timelessness: Shots taken here 5 years ago would look the same as the ones taken yesterday and will still be so 5 years from now.

The yellowish effect is actually the natural hue. Natural light passes through a translucent yellow dome on the roof and illuminates the whole central circle of the market.

Also notice the signboards with Tamil and Arabic translations. Well, thoose are relatively new.

More than 60% of this photo shows the vendors and their produces. And you have gotten them all naturally.I wouldn't worry about the yellowish tinge/cast. Probably from the skylight on the roof.

Hi Jason,

Nice shot from a local market where its always very colourful. I would think the natural yellow colour is a plus to this shot. The symmetrical arches in this photo is good too, though I would prefer to rotate a little anti-clockwise. I have done a quick workshop for your comparison.

Well done

Alfred
