Some of you might have expected this picture to appear on TE, after my last submission on Aya Sofya at night. After taking some pictures of Aya Sofya, I walked around the fountain basin, and found this wonderful view of the Blue Mosque. When you are in Sultanahmet park in Istanbul, you never really know at which of those two magnificent buildings you'd like to look first.
This is the famous Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmet Camii) in Istanbul. This well known site is much photographed (there are so many photos around on TE). Nevertheless, this impressive building (dating back to the 17th century) fully deserves such attention. Stunnig during daytime, looks impressive at night as well. I hope you like it.

Update: have a look at the workshop for a bit different effect...

Witaj Michale.

Szlag mnie chciał trafić jak patrzyłem na to zdjęcie ... :-)

A właściwie nie na zdjęcie, tylko to co jest (a właściwie czego nie ma) pod zdjęciem. A czego nie ma?
No przynajmniej SETY komentarzy x 2pkt

Mizerne odbicia w wodzie, koślawe zwierciadlane fotki zbierają makaki a tu ich jest tylko 8........................

Szkoda gadać, lepiej zapatrzać się w Twoje zdjęcie ... i powspominać ...

Pozdrawiam. Mirek

perfect reflection!

Hi Michal. This is very nice night shot. Perfect reflection and nice theme. Good job. Hristos

Hi Michal
Splendid night capture of this interesting place with a lot of details like reflections, plants and also of this important architectural building. Good management of exposure because you're using F/2.8 and obtained excellent results. I've appreciated the superb contrasts of the shinned towers against the impressive black sky. Well seen, well done. Best regards, Consuelo

Wow Michal,


what a gorgeous night shot!
Very neat! Sharpness, light management and composition are wonderful.
Vey nice reflection on the water.
Congratulations!
