Behind The Lens

Location

I shot it in Eminönü, one of the old districts of Istanbul. Eminönü is a district that became the commercial center of Istanbul during the Eastern Roman and Ottoman empires. It is an area with constant traffic.

Time

I remember at sunset. I get moving while trying to capture a moment when the sea is at its busiest.

Lighting

Here, after the photograph was taken, I specially highlighted some places on it. As a world of color, I am looking for colors that will reflect the density and complexity of Istanbul.

Equipment

A very old Leica model, the Leica Digilux 3 and Olympus 50-150 lens are planned here. Leica has very good new and expensive machines. But I don't think this machine is the cheap ones.

Inspiration

As someone from the city, Istanbul has a very inspiring dynamic of life. Istanbul is where I get inspired easily.

Editing

If yes, tell us about it! First of all, it was shot in raw and I worked in 3 different tones in raw editing. To highlight certain regions. I did the finishing touches with the latest Dxo Nik Software.

In my camera bag

One analog camera, sigma dp quattro 1, a small tripod and iphone. If I didn't take an analog camera with me that day, then I have the Leica DIgilux 3 for sure. And the Fujifilm xe-4 as a new camera.

Feedback

I can say that they go after the emotions they feel here. It is important that they approach the photo as they feel. Otherwise, it should not be done to get a lot of likes and become famous. First, the photo should make itself happy.
