New York, I love you
Visiting NYC was a great adventure as someone who loves photography. There are amazing architectures in the city that one may spend several days but cannot finish shooting the amazing structures. Meanwhile, I started to do some 360 degree work. Here is a sample that I really liked the result, which was taken in NYC ...
Upper Antelope Canyon, the throat
Another one from Upper Antelope Canyon. The colors and the light in the canyon was amazing. Each season presents different colors…I shoot this one by aiming straight to the sky in narrow canyon. This is not an HDR, it is from a single shot…
Antelope Canyon
We took about 9 days to travel in Arizona and Utah to visit most of the great National Parks and Canyons. We rented an RV and stopped at the campgrounds near the parks or canyons that we visited. Overall, it was an amazing experience. 9 days in a raw, we woke up early to capture ...
New York, Roosevelt Island
I was in New York for a few days. I stayed at a friend’s place in Roosevelt Island. Her roof top had an amazing view. About 1 hour after arrival, I did not want to miss the first sunset of my visit, and went to the roof top. I used my tokina 12-24 mm lens ...
Hawaii, to home or to beach
This particular image has also been shot in Maui Island. I used my tripod and cable release to shoot 5 bracketed images of the scene with 1 EV step. I then merged the files in Photomatix and further post-processed using Lightroom and Photoshop. I tried to avoid using too much color saturation espiecially at the ...
Karasu, The Lake Acarlar
This is my hometown in Turkey. I had this shot sometime ago and now I processed it. For this one I used my recent techniques to get the sky blues is and plus a touch of purple. First, when I tone mapped the image in photomatix, I made the temperature blueish -5, -6. It could be left ...
Istanbul, the new inhabitants
Here is again a retouch of my an old work. When I compare it to the first version that I made about 4-5 years ago, there is a huge difference. It seems that I changed/improved my post-processing very significantly. There is no shame with post-processing. When people ask, did you do photoshopping, I laugh at them. ...
Hawaii, the fire
Apparently I spent a lot of time shooting the sunset in Hawaii Sunset and sunrise times are great for photo shooting, therefore, they are called “Magic Hour”. I made this one by lowering my camera to the sand as much as possible. I tried to frame the sun, to get a long view of the ...
Hawaii, gathering at the beach
While I was in Maui, there was a wedding at the coast. It was very beautiful weather, great sky. Surely I set up my tripod and made my shooting…
Hawaii, the blanket
Another sunset scene from Hawaii, Big Island. This photo is made by 5 images with 1 EV steps. I combined them in photomatix. At the initial settings, I chose semi-automated ghost removal. By doing so, I selected only the sea and the wave, then for this are I chose only the brightest photo. Therefore, the ...
