Divinal Capture, a photo from Bursa, Marmara

Photographer's Note

Taken in the famous "Ulucami" in Bursa. One of the most important and beautiful mosques of the founding years of the Ottoman Republic.
It's a habit that many visitors let make photos of themselves as evidences fro "being there" . Like this two women here.
In the background a huge plate in arabic calligraphy, written in mirroring effect : God and Mohammed his prphet.

Bursa Ulucami de çektiğim bir kare.
Osmanlı kuruluş dönemine ait en önemli yapıtlardan birisi Bursa Ulucami.
Genelde bütün bu gibi yerlerde olduğu gibi, insanlar camii anlamak, okumak yerine, daha sonra eş ve dostlarına "bak ben oradaydım" diyebilmek için biribirilerinin fotoğraflarını çekiyorlar.
Buradaki iki hanım gibi.
Arka plandaki simetrik büyük levhada ise "Allah ve onun peygamberi Mohammed" yazılı.

Hello Mesut,

Very nice shot, you manage the light well between the light of the chandelier and the natural light from the window. Not many of us get to see the inside of the mosque. Good quality and the inclusion of the people give good scale and liveliness.

Mesut abi merhaba,
Notunuzla birlikte çok anlamlı bir kare.Bir dönem insanlar bırakın anlamayı,tarihi eserlerde yer alan muhteşem işlemeleri boyayarak kapatmayı güzellik addettiler.Bereket bugünün insanı daha duyarlı ve ecdada sahip çıkıyor.Siteminize yürekten katılıyorum üstadım.

Hello Mesut,

This is a beautifully symmetrical composition - as you say, the Arabic calligraphy is also symmetrical! But the symmetry is only broken by the two ladies - the subject and the photographer.

Lovely lighting, perfect exposure and excellent detail and sharpness.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hi Mesut
I love the ideas and you have done pretty well here and I guess you were just trying something different having the visitors to make them stand out. Your picture really does show a happy and close relationship between them and the mosque. Exposure is so well managed, great colors tones and overall contrast. Well done, TFS
Best regards
