The Blue Mosque
Istanbul was awesome! I had a great time shooting there last week. The city is just shady enough to keep you on edge but in an overly threatening way. Walking the streets at night, I never felt uncomfortable, just a bit on edge. This feeling blended perfectly with the scenery and atmosphere. It really gave it a unique feel that I thoroughly enjoyed. I really look forward to getting back there soon.
This is a very iconic view of The Blue Mosque (Sultan ahmed) in the old city. As you can see it’s lit up beautifully during the night.
When scouting for this shot, I had a specific goal in mind. I wanted to display The Blue Mosque with the best compositional layout, keeping a cool arrangement of the minarets (spires). I gave special consideration to the angle and sun position, trying to get a nice red to blue color shift in the sky. Sometimes these shots are really worth the effort.
