Wow you folks are prolifiic....don't any of you work for a living? :D

Just kidding - anyway, I only really get to shoot at weekends, so I'll bombard you all on a Monday :)

A few from the past couple of days, M8 and Nokton 50mm f1.5 for the first, and the others with the Ultron 35mm:

Mike: Wonderful series. I esp. like these ones. Wherever I can, tend to favor
BW. I think your treatment here is simply gorgeous.:thumbup:

Finally, Amasra: Incessant rain, a warm breeze, beautiful smell of seawater accompanied by the gentle sound of waves and an occasional triumphant call of a seagull. A town with a curious geography; small bays on each side, and an historical bridge separating the town from the Genoese district. Too many ghosts from earlier centuries. I'm under a spell, cannot concentrate and shoot. I sit down down, calm myself, grab my wet M8 and start exploring. Is this a dream?

Excellent shots, Mike, all of them.

More great stuff Mike, for me, especially the last three. I'm enjoying your processing as well. Glad you're with us.

Osman, this set is something special. Not only introducing us to an interesting and unique place most of us will never see in person, but also possessing something special in the power of your images. I have to say that they convey a feeling I sensed, but had a hard time identifying at first. Then I realized that there are no obvious people in any of the images. I think that adds to the "ghosts for earlier centuries" feeling you mentioned. It's a powerful effect. Hard to image the history there. My mother's side of the family has called the US home since the early 1600s, but that's almost newcomers by the standards of your part of the world. One of my father's lines has been here for thousands of years, but there remains very little evidence of their passage. You are in a very different world. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of it with us.

Lloyd: Thanks pal. The narrative is not entirely untrue. We were in Scotland for some trekking. We had a surprise when my brother-in-law and mother-in-law showed up from IL.:eek:

Ayesha and her brother, left mom in my care and skipped town!!:wtf:


Regards.
Aha! So it was Ayesha making those comments... didn't seem like her.

And as to you getting the duty when they skipped, :wtf: Indeed. I'd last about half an hour alone with my mother-in-law, I'm afraid. You're a better man than I am, my friend. :lecture:

Osman: Excellent photography and history. The first view and capture is awesome. The BW treatment of the alleyway and the lone cat is superb.:salute:

Mike: Lovely, subdued and soft. I esp. like the these three. The beautiful
portraiture, the cracked soil and the glorious boat captured from the level of the reeds/grass is simply awesome.:thumbs:

LLoyd: I am sure you meant..' so it was NOT Ayesha '. Your following sentence
graciously describes exactly how I feel and felt.

An ironic that it aptly describes your photography, Rayyan. "Beyond Words" :thumbup:
Lloyd: You, my friend, are too generous with your words. Thank you.:eek::salute:

Oops. :eek: Yes, "NOT" was my intention. :eek: I guess I should either type slower, or proofread occasionally. Glad you got my meaning. :thumbup:

Lloyd, what you wrote gave me great satisfaction. During my radio programming days, we used to visualize a single listener as we spoke. To reach somebody with a feeling and/or a concept was/is my sole objective. Reading your response, I sensed that you've got what I wished to say. That is so special.

As for the history part, there's a considerable dynamic dimension to that as well. Anatolia, being at crossroads throughout history, has always seen people come and go. My mother's father is from the island of Rhodes, her mother's father is from Damascus, and her mother is of Circassian origin, whereas my father is of Turkmen origin from Cilicia. So, where I call home is a rather complicated issue. This is what you get after the fall of an empire, I guess.

Thank you for your understanding and insight.
