Istanbul Minotaur

[olyz]

With Color Minotar and GXR M in the exciting, bubbling city of Istanbul – metropolis full of contradictions, lightly flavoured with tear gas

This is a great set - really nice. What, no water canon shots?

Beautiful set of street photographs. I love the b&w processing.

 

[kuuan]

really good photography and your Minotaur is dong well too!

Me too - enjoyed them all, and I especially like that the pics generally compliment the subjects. Nice to see that there are still people on the streets using pay phones and books...
Are those eggplants on the table in #6 ?
#4 and #10 are great captures.

Thanks Richard, we avoided the 'Canons', but could not escape the tear gas...

Thanks Roni, I used SilverEfexPro2

Thanks kuuan, I was particularly impressed by your Minotaur-series!

Thanks quester, # 4 are eggplants, we enjoyed many great dishes with this vegetable!
# 10: the young woman in the ara Café is sitting in front of images of Ara Güler - the 84 years old photographer sat outside

Thank you very much Andy! I almost always used the noiseless electronic shutter (=> ISO 125) and never used the viewfinder. Through my strange 50mm equivalent Minox Minotar lens with black cardboard in front I could photograph unnoticed. All images are uncropped, except #4.

Hallo lieber Christian,
endlich schaffe ich es Deine Istanbul Bilder zu sehen. Well done Ich frage mich welche Geheimdienst Kamera Du benutzt: Through my strange 50mm equivalent Minox Minotar lens with black cardboard in front I could photograph unnoticed. All images are uncropped !!! Heißt "uncropped" zu deutsch "unbearbeitet"? Bin mit dem Fotos mailen derzeit stark behindert, da meine neue Digikamera und mein alter PC Rechner nicht mehr miteinander harmonieren - die kleine Canon S95 ist super, auch wenn aus Deiner elitären Sicht Schrott !!! Hab ich Dir schon gesagt, dass wir in GB's Süden, in Cornwall, 2 Wochen Sonne am Stück hatten. Entsprechend gross ist die Zahl der Digi-Bilder. die Leica hätte mich alten Schragen umgebracht zum Transportieren.
Heute Abend werden wir nochmals einen Heben auf Deine tollen Bilder und last but not least die Ahrensburger Ausstellung. Derzeit sind wir bei "Talisker" von der Insel Skye, weniger jodhaltig als Lafrosch.
Dein Gerd
