Old Istanbul, a photo from Istanbul, Marmara

Photographer's Note

Here is another old Istanbul( If not vintage ) picture, a slide taken 23 years ago. The color comes from an orange filter adapted on the lens while the blur on the mosque comes from the DOF of a mirror lens, the 500 mm Leica Lens. There's absolutely no computer work on this one. I am not sure that I can find the place from which I had taken it so long ago. The sitting man ? Even less ! He was quite old at the time.

Hi Izzet
A pleasant colorful capture with the counterlighted man on the bench lookin at the mosque. A fine experiment with filters.

hallo Izzet,
the effect you achieved is amazing! I love the colours and the compo with silhouettes of the mosque in the background and the man in the foreground.
I find kind of magic in this picture taken in pre-digital era... classic vintage! Thanks for sharing! Hanna

Hi Izzet!
Wow! Simply fantastic.I like only silhouete portrait of the man.Blured mosque in background works amazing.Good job with filter.Bravo!

pasternak (15185) 2006-07-19 9:18

Anazing picture, Izzet! Looks like a shadow of a sitting man, cast on a painting... Wow, this is a great image!

Cheers
Alexander

20-30 yıl önceki çalışmalarınızdan şimdiye kadar görmüş olduklarımın içinde en etkileyici olanı bu fotoğraf... Grafik sanat örneği bir afiş, poster tadında ve adamın silueti, çizgileri MUHTEŞEM.... Bunu paylaştığınız için yürekten teşekkürler...
Sevgiler-Coşkun

sleon (9402) 2006-07-19 11:16

Hi Izzet
This is really interesting and creative. I love the soft textures and hues, which give the feeling of a painting.
Regards, Susanna

Cormac (26565) 2006-07-19 12:26

Wonderful image! The colour of the photo is very attention grabbing, and the silhoette of the man is very vivid. When combined with the faded and blurred profile of the mosque in the distance this has a classic or timeless appeal. Excellent!

nwoehnl (122) 2006-07-19 12:47

Thanks for showing us this timeless classic, Izzet. A very effective use of the foreground silhouettes (even only as an outline, it seems to be clear that it is an old man) and a fine compositional balance with the mosque spires on the right. Good ambience provided by the orange filter, very nice shot.

talatbay (2428) 2006-07-19 13:35

An affecting image, especially choosing orange tones and impressive silhouettes are perfect.
Best regards.
Saygılar...

coco (30439) 2006-07-19 17:52

Hi Izzet.
This one is great. This light, this composition,... and all natural.
Sure, one of the best photos, if not the best, that I've lately in TE.

Why did you have 26 years hidden this photo?

vapours (8264) 2006-07-20 0:48

Cool shot Izzet, and even more impressive is the fact that no computer work has been done on it. Silhouette is great, as well as the colour.

roamermark (1592) 2006-07-20 1:56

Merhaba Izzet,
This shot is so wonderful I'm not sure where to start. It evokes such a mood in the viewer and is full of romance (of the exotic for the outsider), or of home (for those from Turkey). Thanks for dusting it off and posting it.
Cheers
Mark

Master, this is really a masterpiece. I really do noto know why but this reminds me Orhan Veli.

Two masters in one shot: Orhan Veli and İzzet Keribar.

Many thanks for being here.

Sarhan.

Selam Ustam,
bu aralar size yazamadım ama fırsat buldukça bakıyorum nefis resimlerinize..

çok çarpıcı bir siluet, harika bir monochrom olmuş bu imaj. caminin etrafındaki tuhaf halkalar da neyün nesüdür diyecek iken ;)
ayna lens kullandığınızı okuyunca hanyayı konyayı anlamış oldum ve çok da güzel bir efekt olmuş bence, LOL! (acaba tersi de ilginç olur muydu merak ediyorum, yani halkalar önde, cami focus.)

yarı vintaj sayılır bence, harika, elinize sağlık.
hürmetler.

Hi Izzet,
This is the kind of photo I wish I could take. Very beautiful colors and composition. Best wishes.

avigur_11 (22535) 2006-07-20 8:57

This is a fantastic composition, Izzet!!
The silhoette, the yellow background and the two minarets at the BG - all make it so interesting, so attractive, so beautiful..

This is a great image, Izzet, captured and composed very skillfully.

AnimeshRay (9089) 2006-07-20 15:32

Wow! Centainly a very unusual composition. Terrific color and balance. 1983!! Pure gold...

Ulishna (2268) 2006-07-20 15:51

Hello Izzet,
It's very nice and unusual picture. I like it very much.

Pardonne moi ce retard, Izzet. Je tombe a l'instant sur cette silhouette fulgurante - au loin un IStanbul enfume...une uespece de reve a tout dire. Superbe couleur, compo, idee...
J'aime beaucoup.
Selam,
Francis

hugolef (4913) 2006-07-21 8:45

Hello Izzet
même si je ne commente plus tes photos, je garde un oeil dessus, aujourd'hui, j'ai un peu de temps alors je m'arrête et comme cet homme je profite du spectacle.
C'est bien realise, et tres poetique ...
Bien vu
Amities, hugues

Very interesting composition. I love the silhouette, the way the blurred mosque can be seen in the background and the color. Your shot is magical. Yvonne

Bu fotoğrafı da yıllar önce Eczacıbaşı takviminde görmüş ve hayran olmuştum.
Herşeyiyle mükemmel.
Ellerinize sağlık. Uğur

john_c (24666) 2006-07-24 11:24

Hi Izzet,
You did a superb job of restoring this slide to digital with your scanner. The silhouetted man and bench with the mosque seen through the gloom is most impressive. It is unfortunate that there are some technical issues in the right foreground, but overall the photo is surreal and outstanding. Well done.
John

BAKO (1691) 2006-07-24 16:22

Hocam
Muhtesem bir kare
monochrome renklerin ve grafik anlatimin doruklarinda bir calisma.
Tabbi ki bunu tamamen manuel sartlarda yaratmis olmaniz inanilmaz.
Ellerinizden operim.

What's there to say about this image? I mean, compositionally and visually, it is wonderful. The posture of the man is great and the Mosque which seems to be in his lione of sight is perfect.

Az önce TE ün favoriler ilk sayfasında rastladığım bu fotografınızı ilk gördüğümde, TE te henüz bir aylık üye idim ve O'nun gibi ustaya yorum yazmak ne haddime diye cesaret edememiş ancak favorime almakla yetinmiştim.Her kareniz farklı güzellikte ama bu kompozisyon için gerçekten kelimeler az geliyor.TE te iyiki varsınız,sağlıkla daha nice yıllara İzzet Bey.
