QuoteI took the picture while strolling through Istanbul, shooting anything that is interesting to show. It was early afternoon, the snow was melting, all of a sudden traffic has stopped and the carrier guy came out with the box in the hand, steam were coming out one of the warehouse. Typical street scene and all that mood. I love it!

This shot taken by Leica M8 and Voigtlander 35mm F2.5 MC

Why I use Leica:
It was my dream! I have sold some worthful things of mine in order to buy Leica M8. That is the spirit which makes you choose what is more important to you! Only with Leica I have that spirit…

I love strolling through Istanbul and to show his daily beauty to the lovers.

    there is something very significiant point. From the technical point of view, we can reach to a conclusion that, the colours are delicately distributed and the details are well distributed. The other striking aspect is that, the vapour is strolling on the body of the worker, whereas the timeless silence dominates just in one of dim mazes of istanbul. The motionless moments where the flow stated in the mind is the only time scales. A timeless battleground of the light and dark. This photo reflects this. The darkness which covers the big part of our sight is merely the clear fact of these streets. The darkness never gives up and actually it shapes the street, unlike the sun which tends to paint to a single colour. And here we see the scales of darks, shaping everything so delicately out. GREAT PHOTO

    Nice shot. It must be a lucky moment to catch the light and the shadows. Nice like the others in your blogspot. Keep on shooting and share with us.

    Every tiny detail works to create the entire miracle – and light, and shadows, and reflection, and even the routine of the day. Everything on its the only right place. Thanks for a chance to see it caught and to share the beauty of the place and the moment
