Iyi Bayramlar Photo

Photographer’s Note

Dedicated to all my TE friends who are celebrating this important Islamic feast
My best wishes for you all

**************************

During the Byzantine Era there was a hippodrome near the Blue Mosque with a capacity of 10,000 people. In 1606, Sultan Ahmet wanted to build a mosque bigger, more majestic and more beautiful than the Saint Sophia Church, and he did indeed build a mosque; you will be the one to judge which one is more impressive.
The Blue mosque is called "Sultan Ahmet Camii" in Turkish, which means the Mosque of Sultan Ahmet.

Merhaba Isa
Ah a nice old one from the time when you were shooting without tripod and using a speed of 1/800s just in case the mosque would suddendly fly away... You wouldn't do this anymore now, right Isa ? Still this TE size forgives much and this did not impact negatively this nice mosque structures rising againt the warm background

Hi Isabela, the sillhouette against the greenish hues of the sky is not only unique but incredibly beautiful. I like your Note and your dedication to our Islamic brothers and sisters. Thanks for sharing, Lisa.

Çok teşekkürler Isabela :) I liked it. It would be much better if the two minarets in the middle were not overlapped.

Best regards,

Tolga

Hi Isabela

Superb graphism & silhouettes of the mosque, with good sharpness & framing. Perhaps I'd add a little blue & magenta? Tfs!
