The Market Hall Photo

Photographer’s Note

The last in this series of photographs taken in Albi; this was taken in the market hall in the old town on a very wet October morning when everyone, including this photographer, was hurrying to get in from the rain.

I don't have any information about the building. It seemed to me to be a refurbishment of an existing building which was still in progress; the lower floor not yet being occupied.

The picture is a stitch of three photographs taken hand-held using existing light with the ISO uprated to 800. Apologies in advance for any stitching problems that you may notice. Hope you like the picture, which is a departure from my usual sort of subjects ;-)

Bonjour Stephen,
Belle image cadrée avec soin. Tu es un expert du stich. La photo me plaît, mais elle montre trop de choses et par conséquent pas très distinctement à cause de la petitesse des détails. C'est toutefois une très belle réalisation.
Bonne journée
Cordialement
Joël

Hello Stephen,
The large version is more interesting because I can see more details, good work.

Hi Stephen
A very well stitched and well framed image, considering all the details to match it was a challenging one and it shows more small sharpness differences between the images than real stitch problems, you seem to have been quick enough to avoid ghosts thanks to the high ISO, the two guys discovering the scene with us are a bonus.
Have a nice week end JY

Hi Stephen,
A very fine panorama, very good stitch, the joints are hardly noticable. It looks like an interesting place with a lot of wares to share.
Regards

Hello Stephen,
like inside a church a great indoor one here, I like the result of all those people in the market hall with well presented shops. So I will go now for the cheese in the middle. Good details everywhere and the graphical effect of the background windows is a nice add-on.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf
