MyPictureSunday #18 - The early Bird catches the ... Fish + MyPictureDay Challenge Round #11
My Steemian friends! Finally it's about time again: The MyPictureSunday series is back and so is the MyPictureDay photography challenge!
Never heard of it? Don't worry at the end of this post you will find a detailed explanation and how you can enter. Make sure to read it carefully and abide by the rules. Before we come to the contest, let me show an example of how an entry can look like. So, basically you should show us on Steemit how your day was. Grab your camera or phone and let's go!
Today I woke up very early in the morning (seriously, very early) to get to the famous Hamburg Fish Market. It's a traditional market that is right next to the harbor of Hamburg and people from all around the world just come to see it. Only few minutes walk away is the famous Reeperbahn, a place where people go party and drink all the night. After celebrating some walk over to the Fish Market to see the sunrise and have a little snack.
As I arrived it was still dark and the sun was about to rise. The only light that illuminated the scereny was by the light bulbs and the moon.

Despite the fact that it was 7 am in the morning, the narrow streets were already flooded with people. You literally could buy anthing here.

Want a coffee to wake up? No problem, here you go! It's too cold and you need some new gloves and a scarf? We got it. But the main attraction are the fruit salesmen screaming over the whole market with their best bargain they offer. It's fun cause they try to make a show out of it and it works. A pretty good show!

Haha, in Africa people always said early bird can eat warm!
Hey Tim, your photography is at least as on point as it was back in the starting days! It's great to see that you kept active here on Steemit until now. I had to concentrate on my studies so I had to leave Steemit for a while but I'm seeing so many familiar faces putting out such great content that I really want to start producing my own posts again. Now if you'll excuse me; I have about a year's worth of your posts to enjoy ;)
Lets upvote.... Steem for life
Same @dercoco - a few friends and I took a break from Steemit for a while, but we've been lured back by some of the great content we're seeing pop up on the platform.
Great photos @timsaid - you've inspired me to blow the dust off my old Nikon D90, which I've always had a fondness for over my Canon gear, and to go on a photo adventure.
i think i need to by a good camera to make such nice photo)
Ah, I am new to steemit, but I already love all the options and this community. It really feels raw and real, with new starting conversations. I will def. take part this week :)
Hey Tim, great pictures! I recently went to Hamburg for NewYears, but unfortunately I missed the fish market (again - somehow I did not manage it yet to be there on a Sunday). :D I will def. take part this week! :)
Amazing photos you got there. They look so clear and high quality. Love it!
Amazing photography, I have a Canon camera sitting down for years, making me want to do something about it haha
The contest sound very interesting. But bad grey weather at the moment here in south Germany...so not the best time to take pictures...
Any ghost stories in your area? If so gloomy weather is a great time to photo those locations and tell the myth around them with your post.
Try to be creative and use the bad weather for your advantage. I am curious to see what you will bring us :)
Steem on!
I will try my best ;)
An amazing contest here @Timasaid, one of my favorite people here, contest, here I come
Love the tone of your pictures!
Nice to see a photog with skills making money on steem. Nice shots, cool contest, I will try to get my friend to enter.
