Covered Market, Istanbul, Turkey '96

Re-post. The first lacked blacks I noticed.

 

This image is stunning in a 4 foot x 4 foot rendition because of the

intense amount of small detail. You can see the jewelry in the window,

the time on the clock back in the city streets, etc.. As a small image

you can only appreciate the feel of the place, light wise.

 

I've included this one in the 2005 art calendar, signed and numbered

limited edition of 499.

Beautiful! I tried to take this picture three or four times when I was there but was never this successful. Great work.

Mike, as with your image as usual; nice. But as you can see, you're at the bottom of the pile, in the er...dregs...I see your images are receiving the same reception as mine are. Photo.net appears to be about insect pics, zoo animals now. Got any sugar-coated sunsets anywhere? These get more visibility...

Very nice. In my own experience I have only seen anything somewhat similar to this in italy. I am sure the web version does not do it justice.

 

I would not worry too much about the ratings game or lack of exposure on photo.net there are people who follow your work and Johns as well.

I came across this again in the follow-up comments section and I was shocked - shocked, I tell you - to see the ratings! This is a great, great photograph and I know from experience how difficult this was to achieve. The rest of your portfolio looks stunning as well. Congrats!

I did not know it made it to the bottom of the 'heap', but I had not followed it either.

Thanks for the moral support. MS

Michael, very very good. I know how diffcult it is to get a good exposition in this light, I tried so many times, but mostly the result was not there. You did here very well. I like the low shutter speed showing the motion of the people. The inside of the market is very enigmatic. jana

(P.s. Michael the description says China..)

colourful capture of a gateway to a different style of life - nice atmosphere & details - nicely done indeed

just great...it looks like LF format, can't believe it is trusty hassy
