Market

Near my apartment is the Chicago French Market. It’s an indoor market with a lot of vendors and some really great produce and fresh proteins at cheap prices. It’s a great alternative to the grocery store. I walked in with my camera last week and tried to capture all of the colors and flavors of the spring. This red pepper was sitting with it’s brothers and  sisters on a great market-style display. The red is so vibrant!

I had a crazy high ISO for this (1600) because I wasn’t using my built-in flash and the lighting was overhead and harsh. 1/20 sec, 55mm, f5.6. No real post-editing for this on –  I took the Lightroom “punch” preset and tweaked the contrast a touch.
