Mosque Interior Photo

Photographer’s Note

We have taken off our shoes and we have entered the grand Suleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul. This is not an ordinary mosque - it is built by the greatest Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan for 7 years - from 1550 to 1557 for the 10th Ottoman Sultan Suleyman I. The mosque is 59 meters in length and 58 meters in width. The main dome is 53 meters high and has a diameter of 27.25 meters.

Sorry for the inevitably high noise, but I was shooting from hand using high ISO.

Hello Anton,
I suppose this was a difficult exposure, in this large space with limited light!
I think you make most of it, with nice details in the dark parts and no overexposure in the brighter...
Well composed, people provides good scaling!
