Wiesbaden always has a lovely Christmas market. Later in the evening and on the weekends it is totally packed, mostly with people drinking hot spiced wine.
The Gorillapod is a whole lot easier to carry around than my tripod. Harder to work with in some cases. In this instance, I wrapped it on a railing which worked OK.
And being able to steady the camera on the gorillapod gave you wonderful clarity and sharpness to this lovely market night scene. I like the angle looking down at the market for it gives us a clear view of what is inside the stalls but it also gives us a nice view of the decor of the golden flower lights that adorn the booths from above. I have only one tiny critique. I would crop that light post on the far right hand side out of the composition. It is a light that 'distracts' from the other beautiful lights seen in this scene such as the golden flowers and the lights from the christmas tree. In other words it is not complementry to the scene because the light is not festive decorative like the majority of all the other lights in the composition.
Very pretty - with those fun light things. I love it. Also remember those particular smells. Have you had the Kraeuterzucker? OMG - best stuff ever. We used to get it in a pointy paper bag - hard lumps of sweet deliciousness. And you could only get them at these Christmas markets.
ETA - love the motion blur and the clarity of the image.
