Yeah, I've been there 2 years ago. Great for photography. To bad i wasn't digital then yet, snif... Istanbul was build for photographers it's crazy.

U used HDR for this right? I feel that you might over processed a bit. I'm thinking about your Venice (vs Bedroom Blues i believe it is) shot that u used as an example of overprocesssing in HDR mode. If you can notice it, it's too much kinda deal. I can notice it here. It's a cool shot though. The angle is great. the light beams from the windows and the green disks etc are great, but the image seems a little flat. Maybe it's due to the processing.

I'm still envious though. I need to go back with a digital SLR next time.

Cheers
Chris

A bit overwhelming. I don't know where to look, and since it's all in focus, there's no hint to guide me.

I get dizzy from this wide view. Like standing against a skyscraper and looking up along the wall makes me fall over backwards.
