I haven't been there since getting bitten by the photo bug, BUT from what I remember it would be a great place to get some shots.

I want to check that out sometime soon! I've driven by and it was super busy. I think it would be a great place-and the surrounding buildings, etc. are cool also.

I have been several times on Fridays, early morning. Not too busy. Great photography, great fruit samples :)

Yes, I've shot there and it's really cool. I haven't been there for a while, but plan to go back.

It is pretty nifty for sure and you can get some great shots, but I encountered quite a few workers at booths that were adamant that I didn't take their picture; maybe they were illegal immigrants or just had an aversion to cameras. Not sure, but just an FYI!

Go there in the Fall when all the pumpkins and flowers are out. Great color.

I've shot several engagement sessions there. There seems to always be lots of people around and the weekends are always busy.

I went there on a Saturday, and can confirm (1) the crowds were ridiculous; and (2) folks there were not at all happy having their "pitcher took." Two different people offered to completely re-arrange my equipment. (I think they were talking about the camera, but who knows?) It might be a better trip on a weekday, when things are not so hectic.

That said, I got this shot right when I got there, contrasting the flora with the Dallas skyline. I've done no post production except to shrink the file size down to forum limits. All C&C is appreciated.

I went last week during the week... it's alot less crowded, for sure. But there's also less vendors.... didn't have the camera because it was raining on and off, unfortunately.
