Just wanted to share a quick one from today. My brother's wife, and their oldest grandchild. (That's my brother in the background).

M8, 28 Cron @ f4 (pretty much straight out of the camera other than a slight WB correction):

Stunning Blue Eyes All Around! Beautiful Ladies & Shot Lloyd!

Since we're on an Istanbul trend ... I'm sure that Osman can describe the lighting conditions

David, Excellent Color,Sharpness,Feel & Set!

David: +1; Love the series.

Decided to experiment with a different approach to my processing and came up with this..

"Just a tree" Leica M9 Summarit 90mm

Don

Don: Not just a tree. Your tree. A beautiful vibrant one at that.

This really is some masterful work, Bishop. :salute:

Bishop: +1 what Lloyd says.

Regards.

Powerful Gaze! Nicely Documented Rayyan!

Powerful stuff, Rayyan. Again, you draw us in with your image and words, and provide a reminder of our need for real humanity. Thank you.

Rayyan: This one made me smile for sure! You have a gift, my friend. Heart, Art and Discretion... a perfect combination.

rayyan: Terrific photo. And, as you said, we've seen many other equally beautiful photos of your beautiful wife!

Cheers, Matt

Steve, Lloyd, Matt: :salute: Thank you.

 

[rayyan]

rayyan: +1, +1. You'd be a great guide to see real places and real people! :salute:

Cheers, Matt

Matt: Much appreciated sir. The job, where do I apply?

Rayyan,
....
. And a big thank you for presenting the city I love so dearly and my citizens in a heart-warming way.

....
Lastly, I was unable to guess the place you've met the unemployed, Tophane, probably. It is relatively easier these days to come across them, with the unemployment figures reaching all-time highs.

Osman: Thank you and the people of Istanbul. Re: the place..I have forgotten...but the people I shall never forget. Their courage and their dignity in adversity.:salute:

Lloyd: Brings a joy to my heart when I see this photo; and I have seen it
a few times today. The affection, the family binding has been perfectly captured.

The pride and happiness of the grand parents is on display as is the joy
of the child.

Priceless. :thumbs:

Osman wants to keep it a secret! The Asian side. Uskudar, kadikoy, Beylerbeyi
and the palace, Hydarpasha station....magical places of Istanbul.

Magical people too...

The people make a place. I never forget that.

 

[Don Libby]

The people make a place. I never forget that.

I totally agree with this especially whenever I'm in an ancient place such as a cliff dwelling where I swear I can still feel them.

Beautiful image. And you're right, it is the people.

Graham: I had somehow missed your Yerebatan shots. Masterful, I should say, because in addition to the very damp air that makes breathing an arduous task, the artificial lighting is capable of fooling the white balance of any camera, not to mention the occasional drop of moisture on the camera/lens/forehead...
Rayyan: Another beautiful shot, probably on the Karaköy Bridge, because I can see the Kadıköy pier in the background.
And lastly, I agree with everyone, it is the people that makes a place.

And lastly, I agree with everyone, it is the people that makes a place.

Just, I think, as it is the people who make this forum so special!

Both with the M8, 90 Cron pre ASPH.

Lloyd, I envy you. I wish I could shoot people like you; capturing their soul as well.

Lloyd has given me an idea; I may not be a portrait photographer, but can pose as a model. Why not?
This was taken by my dear friend Seyhun, a keen GetDPI member, with an M8 and Summilux 35 Aspherical. Last Saturday. Image clickable.
