Nostalgia Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Backstreets of Ankara Castle in those years.. A typical daily life..Kid are playing marble and ball, drying clothes in between the houses, imam's praying call from the mosque, your mum's calling you back home, because it's late, etc..
My childhood was a bit like that too,, (nostalgic times now.. ;-)

PS. No matter what you do with the scanners, you cant get the same image from your slides. This was a very contrasty image and Velvia managed extremely well in this one..Whole image is soo different in Velvia unfortunately. Quite disappointing really..

Hi Evren,
Very nice composition. Too bad that the colours are a little bit altered by the scan. It looks like aworking class neighborhood from my country.
Regards
Daniel

Nice picture. The colours are beautiful and the scene is very typical. It is kind of Mediterranean atmosphere.

I would love to see the slide though..
Nice catch anyway.

A little too purple for me to be honest with you Everen but I like the scene and the fact that nobody minded that you are there.
I struggle with my scanner every single day I post here so I do understand.

regards,
Krzysztof

Beautiful, Evren. I love this poem. I love it because like a poem the color is somewhat unreal and mysterious, and the childhood's memory is all there.

selam evren,
ankara kalesi civarında aşağı yukarı aynı tarihlerde ben de bazı çekimler yapmıştım,şimdi bu fotoğrafını görünce aklıma geldi.acaba hala aynı hava mı hakim oralarda düşünmeden edemedim.çok samimi bir hava var fotoğrafta,herşey çok doğal ve sen yokmuşsun gibi davranıyorlar,ne hoş :-)daracık sokaklarda güneş görmeden çamaşır kurutmaya çalışmak na zordur.aslında niçin polarizer kullandığını anlayamadım ama muhakkak bir nedeni vardır.
saygılar

wow, this light is great, and the mood of this shot. I really appreciate your turkish pictures, I find Turkey very interesting country, and definitely there aren't enough turkish pictures in TE (comparing eg with India)

Hey Evren,

Thanks for critiquing my pictures. I just loved all of your pictures and I would love to go to those places you've been to. I like this one's composition and colours.

my eyes were caught and i opened the thumbnail and i said to myself: (in portuguese, of course!): gosh, look at those colors, ranging from deep blue to purple so smoothly, so daringly beautiful and you say this is a mistake of your scanner!
hehe i wish my cam made mistakes like this, since i do not use a scanner!
beautiful anyway.
