Situated at the shores of the Bosphorus and located in one of the entrepots on the port, Istanbul Modern faces the historical peninsula with Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia across the Golden Horn and leans back to Pera.

I took this shot while having brandy at the cafe of the museum. The reflections of the interior lighting on the window facing the Topkapi Palace created the scene... (sorry for the extra reflections...)

I wouldn't be sorry about the reflections. To me, that is the attraction. It would have been nice if you could have eliminated what appears to be another window, but the effect is kinda cool. I do think I would have cropped off the top single reflection though, to my eye I think the proportions work better.

Merhaba Korkut,
Very well seen! Those lamps reflected on the glass make a surreal effect without recurring to any trickery. The view is lovely. That must be a fantastic place to enjoy the end of a day.
Selamlar, José.

I needed to read your note to understand the picture. I real could not figure out all those “balloons” above the sea!!! It was very well seen. Congratulations for your good eye. Well done.

Hi Korkut,
What a dreamy effect you have created with the interior lights dancing across the bosphorus to the giant ferry crossing along the mysterious village on the hilltop. Beautiful night time colors and lovely soft details.

Hi korkut,
Great shot. The lights add drama and the background looks brilliant.
Regards.

Hello Korkut,
I like the effect of the reflection of the bulbs, looking like fullmoon is everywhere over the peninsula :) Your POV is good to enjoy the view and the colors are nice too.
Cheers
Marilyn

Hi Korkut,
What a great idea to take these reflections, it adds a special atmosphere to the shot. They also contrast well with the purple and blue surroundings outside.
Regards
Wanda

Bu kadar güzel bir mavinin içinde, farklı bir bakış açısıyla sunulmuş bu yansıma fotoğrafı için ne desek boş.
nedense bizim litte illüssionist-1 fotoğrafını anımsattı, renkler benzemese de renkleri.

Merhaba Korkut,
funny capture but very enlighted, no question. It is nearly endless. The combination makes it interesting, with the view outside and the soft reflections of the light and in the lower part also some silhouettes of the people inside.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

merhaba korkut bey
çok ilginç bir kare içerideki lambaların gökyüzüne dizilişi çok ilginç görüntü ortaya çıkarmış bu anı kareye nasıl yansıttıysan helal olsun çünkü zor bir iş

He,he, wonderful effect from the lamp light reflections. I first thought of hundreds of ballons, but fullmoons is also great. Be aware of the warewoolfs - they will make a party on such a night... :))))
Another very creative shot, Korkut. Congrats.
Cheers,
Ric

Eee tabi favori fotoğrafçımdan da bu beklenirdi zaten..

Istanbul Modern'in restoranı, yemekleri ve brendisi baya güzel olmalı ki böyle ilham gelmiş yine. Manzarasına diyecek yok zaten. Yine bir görme ve kompozisyon harikası. Karşında hoca varken nasıl bırakıp da bunlarla ilgileniyorsun hala aklım almıyor. Adamı içirdin tabi...:PP

Btw, sonunda benim adım da çıktı yüzen bişeyin üzerinde, çok mutluyum :D

Sevgiler,

I will come back
Evan

Well done for spotting the potential in this scene Korkut, it's worked very well.
The warm colour of the lights makes a great contrast with the cold tones of the scene outside, and the other reflections don't bother me, if anything I think they add to the success of the image.
Good work.

Cheers,
Ben

Merhaba Korkut,

I think friend Korkut, that we very long must looking to this wonderful shot, those lamps reflected on the glass make a surreal effect without recurring to any trickery, but this make the picture so fantastic, also the boats in background are very well taken.
Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice day,
John.

Oldukça güzel düşünülmmüş ve yaratıcı bir kompozisyon olmuş. Başarılar dilerim Duman:)

Hi Korkut,
this is a subjet we are not used by you. Usually you don´t bother much with ordinary tourist sights (with one exception: Mykonos). Anyhow the reflected bulbs and the postprocessing give the special "Korkut feeling". But to be honest: Although I like this photo I think it is not among your strongest postings at TE.
Best regards
Andreas

Sevgili Korkut
Ellerine sağlık Harika bir efekt ve görüntü. Başarılarının devamı dileğiyle. ihsan

Merhaba Korkut,
Düşünce, dolayısıyla da sonuç çok güzel.

Hi Korkut,
This is a very impressive and interesting work. Very good observation and idea. I like the fantastic spectacle and the particular atmosphere. Excellent shot my friend. Thank you, nice days

Great effect through the window reflecting the lights. Very good light mangement to get these soft colours outside together with these reflections. A very unique shot.

Korkut, j'admire cette photo qui vient d'un bon coup d'oeil et d'une excellente créativité. Ce ciel rempli de lampes qui semblent flotter dans les airs comme des montgolfières c'est une très belle image.

Daha önce de belirttiğim gibi sıradan bir görüntünün farklı bir gözle algılanmış halini aktarıyorsun bize. Bence çok başarılı bir fotoğraf hiç bişey söylemeye gerek yok.

Hi Korkut,

At first, i had a hard time to figure out what it is. After a while i notice the reflection from the window. What a creative idea you share with us here. I would never recognize this shot. Nice colors. Beautiful background city. Well done. Sothy

Hi Korkut,

this is an unusual and amazing capture with the reflections looking like fairy lights. Good capture my friend, well seen.

Hello Korkut,
The reflections are really a big attraction here, and ideally there would be not no other reflections than the lampions on the view. This picture is so nice that it justifies some Photoshop manipulation in order to get rid of the other reflections -

Beautiful photo indeed. Very nice effect that you got here.

It was certainly puzzling to me Korkut when I saw thumbnail. And after opening up the picture I realised its a reflection on the glass. yet, you made it so well that the lights seems hanging over the waters. Blue is dramatic.

Rajesh

Great idea to add the lighting in this shot. In the small fingerprint one cannot see the reflections at all so it really looks like there were many moons :) I really hope to be able to go to Istanbul next year when our Turkish friends will return back home again from their stay abroad. I have seen so many pictures now that I am getting more and more curious!

Merhaba Sevgili Korkut,
Çok güzel bir düşünce ve çok başarılı bir uygulama.
Yapay ışık ve renk desteği de müthiş bir fotograf.
