Istanbul on film (well, sensor)

[harrybel]

Went for a long weekend to Istanbul in March and was really looking forward to experiencing the meeting point of Europe and Asia. I remembered reading an AP article some months back also about a reader who won a shooting trip there with a pro.

So I was expecting lots of interesting photo opportunities and I wasn't let down! I'd recommend a visit.

There's a set on my Flickr site - http://www.flickr.com/photos/harrybel/sets/72157616040393602/ - and I'll be adding more shots soon...

Cheers,

Very interesting. You like dereliction, don't you!

It's nice to see that Istanbul's old city hasn't been fully redeveloped in the 40 years since I was there ....... Going off the beaten track revealed lots of wonderful domestic architecture in addition to the major monuments up the hill.

It's a few years since I last went to Istanbul, too - it's a city made for photography.
