Istanbul

[WeddingHack]

A few snaps from our recent break in Istanbul. I didn't really seem to get that inspired by the architecture and old buildings ... in the 'most beautiful building in Istanbul', the Aya Sofia, I took more photos of the scaffolding inside ... go figure.

Some good stuff there, The Blue Mosque is a swine to photograph with all that cable for the lighting. Nice, thanks for sharing

Well it was very good scaffolding

Some very nice use of DoF to pick out key details/figures in an otherwise unspectacular shot - very DK that

Shame about the scaffolding inside, - I think its a quite breathtaking place inside without it.

Love the views of the city from the Galata tower - and the people looking out of the balcony at sunset. Did you take any more inside Topkapi - other then the couple that are there - to my mind that has more interesting locations inside then you've included in your set

Some belting shots there, really enjoyed looking at that set, that scaffolding is indeed pretty insane! Liked the shot of the ships chimey bit against the old buildings and the family by the dockside!

Great stuff. I've always liked the way you get stunning photos from the stuff most of us dismiss.

I remember your slideshow from South West USA and having just got back back from there I'm kicking myself for not being more creative and looking for the unusual.

Amazing sense of atmosphere conveyed through the whole set. Some great shots and a place to remember for sure!

Shame about the scaffolding inside,

What that was a work of art on it's own

Great set and great music and very nicely done, I lost interest in the last quarter, it seemed to lose it's atmosphere.

Sulking! I can't see any pictures as the slideshow is not working, and I have fast broadband and an up to date Mac laptop? I'll try again later and see if it works.

Did you press the play button.

Now I'm just plain embarrassed!!!

No need to be embarrassed, it took me two times to work it out, I thought it would be automatic :bonk:

Lol, I already stocked up on carpet in India at the start of the year, no more this time.
