Kumpir Street Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi everybody. This is a photo from Ortakoy again. The street belongs to the "potato baker"s. Have you ever tasted baked potato? The turkish name of the food is "Kumpir". Come to Turkey and taste it. I strongly suggest. By the way, the absent part of the Ortakoy mosque in my popular Ortakoy(click please) photo can be seen at the upper right part of this photo. I found the part finally :) See you at other posts. Bye.

Mmmmmmmmmm you just opened my apetite for some delicious kumpir potatoes;-)....Excellent capture of the characteristic place in Ortakoy! I love the colors and the feeling of movement due the slow shutter speed!

I am not agree with "Lieber7". This is a good shot. Someone who doesn't know Ortaköy can comment like this. KUMPIR is the main subject/object here and seen wonderful.

Night shots like this bring blurred movements and this is the taste of the scene for me.

The stands are very sharp and the colors are good. You have a good DoF and PoV here Alpay.
A good shot for 30 seconds.
Good notes too. Thanks for sharing...
(the only point boders me your notes with bold and blue font..:))))
