Yeni Cami (II), Istanbul

II - Intricately detailed tiles cover the interior surfaces - looks so fresh

that it is hard to believe construction was started over 400 yerars ago.

Beautiful perspective. The colors and glass captures are great.

Great work !! Beautiful capture ,, Nice composition and light ....................... Best regards.

Hallo Rick, your shots are impressive and wonderful, congrats and best regards // Salvador

...The first mosque I have ever visited - the detailed ceramic tile decoration still looks like new! Much the same challenges photographically as with churches and cathedrals (large dynamic range, towering stuctures, and no tripods allowed). The interior lighting is different with the huge circular arrays of lights at low level and many suspension cables, presenting new problems. With a manual focus lens I found it was easy to get focus confirmation on one of the cables, so LV was much more reliable, but of course difficult to use without a tripod. Thanks for taking the time to comment - Turkey is a wonderful country to visit, I can thoroughly recommend it. Cheers, RickDB
