Photographer’s Note

Larnaca, ancient Kition, is historically connected with three important personalities of the ancient world: the Stoic philosopher Zeno (who was born here), the Athenian general Kimon (who died here while fighting against the Persians for the freedom of Cyprus), and Saint Lazarus, the friend of Christ, who, being persecuted, left Judea and came to Cyprus where he lived the rest of his life as the first bishop of Kition. The coming of Saint Lazarus to Kition is indicated by relative local traditions and, chiefly, by the ancient and magnificent byzantine church which is built over his tomb. This church, is the most important monument of Larnaca and, at the same time, one of the most important pilgrimages in Cyprus...

...taken in the cloister of Saint Lazarus Church in Larnaca...

Hello Korkut!

They must be tourists. Very nice atmosphere of ancient city. I like strong contrast of this photo. Wonderful play of sun and shadows. They are deep but all details and all interesting factures of the wall are very good visible.

Regards
Jacek

Rönesansvari perspektif kullanımının ve biraz daha siyah beyaz tonlara çekerek enfesleştirdiğin (tabii bana göre) sepya tonlarının yanı sıra, bunun senin insanlara isimsiz figürler olarak değil de yaşayan karakterler olarak yaklaştığın ender fotoğraflarından birisi olduğu da gözden kaçmıyor. Yarı silüet formunda da olsalar, dikkatli bakınca bir çok detay belirgin olarak görülüyor ve ayak üstü sohbetin tadını yakalayabiliyoruz. Sohbet etmek için de ne mekan ama! Bu bakımdan Raphael'in "Atina Okulu"nu çağrıştırdı. Çok güzel, ve şimdiye dek bana göstermediğin için de ayrıca sürpriz oldu.

Merhaba Korkut,
S&B tercihi ile oldukça ortaya çıkan ışık, gölge birlikteliğindeki güzelliğe insan faktörü de eklenince oldukça iyi bir fotoğraf ortaya çıkmış... tebrikler...

Hi, Korkut.
I like this kind of street scenes with a scene wich happens in a "good POV" : architecture is very well framed here, and people well placed. Difficult light but you managed it quite well.
Best wishes. Grazyna.

merhaba korkut abi

sohbet koyu galiba abla hararetle şekilde bir şeyler anlatıyor...
sepia ve S&B tonları beraber güzel kullanmışsın abi.
renk tonlamaları, detaylar çok güzel. sütunlar da fotoğrafa güzel derinlik kazandırmış...

Merhaba Korkut,

Two extra elements in this picture, the excellent depth and great perspective through the columns together with the lovely contrast between the dark people between the columns, also the totally composition give a nice image.
Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Selam sevgili Korkut,
Bu siyah beyazda da çok güzel gölge ve ışık oyunları var. Çok keyifli grafik etki.
Bundan da pek çok diğer resimlerin gibi, kesilip biçilip, en az iki resim daha çıkar.
Ellerine sağlık, selam ve sevgiler
MESUT ILGIM

Merhaba Korkut,

Bu sütunlu "cloisterler" ne kadar güzel oluyor, bilassa Rodos ve Kibrisdaki ler birbirilne benziyor. B&W bilhassa bu fotografa uymus. Not da bol malumatli. Zeno'nu yazilarini ve hikayelerini iyi bilirim, fakat eski Kitionlu oldugunu hiç bilmezdim. Muhtesem bir fotograf olmus.

Güzel bir hafta sonu dilerim,

Bülent

Gerrit (35423) 2007-12-01 16:13

Hi KOrkut,
the expression of the three exchanging the latest gossip is very well caught and well visible despite the shaded position. The definition of the walls is alsio very good. Well handled lightconditions and good tones. Perfect composition.
Groeten Gerrit

Korkut,
I like the perspective and depth you caught with these pillars.
Lots of graphics, and eyecatcher strong contrasts.
Regards,
JB.

PixelTerror (85994) 2007-12-02 4:47

Merhaba Korkut,
Interesting to have the people at the beginning of the repeated arches perspective, works well to me, this photo probably looks better in BW with its strong contrasts that it would in color.
Have a nice day JY

Paolo (40635) 2007-12-02 4:56

Hi Korkut, beautiful image with an excellent black and white with amazing light and high quality too.
thanks, ciao

hyasar (7277) 2007-12-02 6:09

Merhaba Korkut,

perspektifi harika bir fotograf olmuş.Siyah/beyaz tercihi fotoğrafa hayat vermiş. Eh buna her durumda söyleyecek bir sözü olan hanımlar da eklenince nefis fotoğraf çıkmış.

tebrikler,
Hakan

riclopes (32845) 2007-12-02 9:08

Olá Korkut, I would say that this is a great place for debating philosophy, but they're problably updating the gossips ;-) The sun is strong and it must be very hot out there, but under the shade of historic arcades is cooler and peaceful... Beautiful light and perspective. I'm glad you didn't lighten up the image for the people, so I can enjoy more the stone textures on the pillars.
Cheers,
ric

toto (18539) 2007-12-02 11:10

Belle photo de cette allée avec ces arches surex,cela donne des ombres et des endroits moins éclairé, un peut comme la mon avant dernière et j' aime ce genre de photo particulièrement.
Amitiés Thomas

Eline sağlık.

Hi Korkut!
Nice anthropocentric photo of daily life on Cyprus within a beautiful historical frame. I like especially the guy, he looks so athletic.
Cheers

isabela_sor (41903) 2007-12-04 8:46

Look them ...speaking in the same time...each of them looking the in different direction!!!That chat must be very interesting.:)Nice perspective,good angle and good architectural details

Hugs

elifpetan (1200) 2007-12-04 10:20

Tam bir Akdeniz fotoğrafı olmuş. Dedikodu şekli aynı bizimki gibi. :o)

keribar (42700) 2007-12-05 22:49

Hello Korkut,

Once again you were able to touch a sensitive chord of mine, the light and the long colonnade are all perfect, perhaps the right person could be removed from the group.
friendly regards - Izzet

kdialyna (3068) 2007-12-08 3:02

Your last four pictures that I didn't make critiques.
I don't know from were to start. One is better than the other.
This one with the perfect perspective and the silhouettes from the the people against the light, gave the perfect result, an artistic but the same time very informative result for the architectural of the concrete church.
Cheers
Kostas
