| Arrived in Istanbul. Will be here for a few days. I have never visited this city before and within minutes I picked up my camera and was off exploring. This image shows the interior of the famous Blue Mosque. Here is where you have got to love a Nikon. I set the ISO to 1600 on my D700 and simply shot a series of interiors with available light and no tripod. The Nikon has incredible noise control and doesn't even need post processing noise adjustments for ISO 1600. |

| My first reaction to photographing Istanbul was that it is a city of details and contrasts, reflected in the centuries of layered cultures each adding a layer of artistic culture on top of the previous culture. I found myself mounting the long zoom on my camera more than I normally would to fill the frame with detail. |
 |
| Even this exterior view of the Blue Mosque was done with a long telephoto on a Nikon D7000. The squashed perspective resulting from the telephoto effect flattens the building architecture in a pattern reflective of the cultural aesthetic. |
 |
| Details and patterns abound. Shooting here for the next few days should be a real pleasure. |
