old Mudanya Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Mudanya (Mudania) (the site of ancient Apamea Myrlea), is a town of Bursa Province, Turkey, on the Gulf of Mudania, part of the south coast of the Sea of Marmara. As of 1911, it was connected with Bursa by a railway and a carriage road, and with Istanbul by steamers. Mudanya has only an open anchorage usable in calm weather. The town produces olive oil and there is a pier used by local fishing and cargo boats.

The town was the signing place of the Armistice of Mudanya between Turkey, Italy, France and Britain on October 11, 1922, following the Turkish War of Independence.

Nice picture just like from the moovies.
Good collors & POV

MindarL (57) 2007-03-13 7:07

Yes, just like in the movies. I like the colors. A suggested angle would be taking a wide angle shot of the buildings on left side of the road. They look interesting. :) Or taking the picture from the middle of the street. :) Very nice.

Hi Ahmet,
A well chosen POV for this fine street shot. The interesting facades are well seen and there are impressive rich hues and tones. The person standing on the street by his car helps give the eye an idea of proportions here. Good graphism with the red and white curb lining either side of the street. A fine capture.
John

Hi Ahmet,

Your cleverly chosen position already created a wonderful perspective with beautiful colored façades. Yellow-white sidewalk stones are helping to increase your photos depth. I like the road ending at sea and wonderful sky a lot too. Congratulations.

Hi Ahmet,
Your POV looking down the cobblestone street to the sea seems to take me right to this lovely village. The bright buildings create a small canyon. HLj, Pat

Merhaba Ahmet,
Un village chargé d'histoire,avec une photo qui nous montre bien le style de construction de ton pays, mais je ne vois pas de maisons en bois ,elles ont l'air plus modernes.
Belle grande profondeur de champ et de jolis tons pastels.

Bonjour, mon ami Ahmet,
Voilà une image bien dressée et fort bien mise en valeur. Les maisons bordant cette allée pavée sont parfaitement alignées et leurs façades joliment colorées.
Une allée qui nous emmène, vers l'horizon, le tout ressort à merveille avec ce ciel pommelé.
Amitiés.

Hi ahmet. Pretty photo. I like the red/white lines of the sidewalk, it seems a landing track but for our eyes, carring it till the end of the road.

Well done

PixelTerror (87159) 2007-03-16 5:00

Merhaba Ahmet,
Nice perspective of houses and eveen if there's not plenty of light their style is interesting, I like this sidewalk marking that strengthens the perspective and the clouds coming back to add some 3d to it.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

jlbrthnn (39451) 2007-03-16 8:44

Hello Ahmet,

bakes888 (18353) 2007-03-16 22:40

Hi Ahmet. I always find it a little incongruous to see satellite dishes on the roofs of such old style buildings. Great photo though. You have created good depth with your composition and POV. Great colours also. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Vato_Law (11768) 2007-03-17 17:14

Hello Ahmet,
Great depth on this photo with the houses bordering the street and suddendly the street ends and the sea appears.
I like a lot the different architectural kinds and windows, the little plants in front of the houses.
Cheers.
Paulo

jhm (83742) 2007-03-18 8:48

Hi Ahmet.
I currently don't have many time to visit my favourite galleries on TE, but it's always a great pleasure to find such nice contributions.
I like the beautiful perspective here and the you you use it to present this typical picturesque street. The light was very soft but probably quit difficult to manage and you did it perfectly.
Thanks for sharing!

captainsgirl (3448) 2007-04-11 18:10

What a pretty photo, I like all the tones of brown in the homes, great POV looking straight down the pretty street. Great sharp photo, lots of interest. TFS

Hi Ahmet, I realy like this photo because the colour of the buildings stand out so good and the red and white kerb stones lead your eye right down the street with a great DOF and the composition it great.
Nice work.

Bruno40 (6442) 2007-07-18 7:25

Marhaba Ahmet
Nice shot, in a way remind me my country. Nice colours and composition. I like that you choose an asymmetric POV to show more the left side that is more colorful than the right side.
Well done

AMH (9) 2008-10-25 2:58

Strong composition draws the eye into the picture, and I like the way the land seems to suddenly disappear in the distance. Nice rich colours in the foreground and kerb.
