light for the journey, a photo from Istanbul, Marmara

Photographer's Note

Life is a journey. And as with any journey, it is dangerous and foolish to attempt to make it alone, in the dark. But simply by adding light, whether it’s a candle in the dark, or waiting for sunlight, it is possible to not only see the path before you, but to determine your direction.
So let me help you bring light to your individual journey, light and colour through all the means at my disposal. I am here to act as a friend, a guide, a mentor. I am here to share in your journey, as you share in mine...

...taken at the energy museum section of santralistanbul during the TE meeting in istanbul...

Selam sevgili dottore !
NE yapıp edip buluyorsun gene "a la Korkut" bir sahne. Bizim gibi daldan dala konmuyorsun.
Yani başka bir deyişle sen "art fotoğraf" yaparken bize "Cağaloğlu tipi basın fotoğrafçılığı" kalıyor !
KAder utansın !
Kaç defa gittim Santral İstanbul'a, buralarda da çok dolaştım ama ne bu ışığı ne de renkleri gördüğümü anımsamyorum !
Gene dört dörtlük bir "grafik" .
Gözüne gönlüne sağlık
Selam ve sevgiler

MESUT ILGIM

Hello Korkut,
A photo with a touch of mystery, leaving room for interpretation to the viewer. And visually a wonderful combination of lines, forms and colours.
Regards,
Paul

Hi Korkut,

He feasts his eyes on the colours ripe and rich ; his heart's desire.. and he's not lost in the divine delight of the goodly gift of sight. The crystal lighted caverns flicker a fancy of a fair sunset city where he yearns to return , his mightier music of the deep dreams he had.
Did he hear a young voice fluttering ...
Excellent concept, and a dreamy shot.
Salut, dear friend.

So ....no dancing this time?????means your model :)
I wonder if the administrators of SantralIstanbul know how much well known is this museum on TE thanks to you and our dear TE friends
The light there was difficult and my pics not good as yours, but I will post soon one WS :)
Te pup

Huuuuugs for u and a big kiss for my dear Kuzey

eversmile (11636) 2010-02-26 1:36

Hi Korkut

I think you could have pushed slightly more the colors, playing with levels and contrasts, for an even more striking impact. But it is already very attractive.Tthe composition is interesting, with a good graphism and a mysterious mood. The energy museum could have been a dance floor, or the entry of a night club! Congratulations.
Regards
Marine

Merhaba Korkut.

As usual, strange but lovely colours in the picture. Excellent detail the man there.

Well done!

Merhah Korkut,
Çok beğendim harika olmuş. Mesut Beye katılıyorum. Fotoğraflar normalde kimliksiz olur. Ama senin fotoğrafların galeride ismine bakmadan tanınabiliyor. Biri bana da bunu bir gün söyler umarım:)))

Very impressive photo, blinding colours, your favourite reds and blues (Turkey and Greece?), surreal place, beautiful coexistence of the two! Great "ghost" once again in your photos!

Your giritli brother

Merhaba Korkut.

I love the composition and the way you managed the light and the exposure. You made a very nice work and I love your photo.

Well done.

Ne zamandır resimlerine bakmamıştım :-). Yine renkleri konuşturmuşsun.

sayeed_rahman (6461) 2010-02-26 11:07

Hey korkut..indeed these high iso and low shutters make incredible composition..the obscurity of the subject is so strongly balanced with the sharp interplay of "energy" lights..an interesting tourist thing to do..gosh i havent done that for ages..even when i am traveling..i never do the tourist things..have my funny way of exploring the world..

Hello Korkut

A good colour contrast between the red & blue. Superb motion blur of the man against the sharply defined fg. Tfs!

Hi Korkut,

very attractive play with the different light tones. It looks like you took this scene from some Doom or Quake pc game. Great job on the catch and lovely note. Thanks!

Merhaba Korkut,

Both alluring and enigmatic is this light and the ghostly figure makes a strong focal point. You must be back from Heidelberg, with a world of useful skills.

Warm regards,

Bulent

ymrk (15099) 2010-02-28 5:57

O kadar albenili renkler var ki...Modelin yeri ve sonuç itabriyle mükemmel grafizm her zamanki gibi..Netlik de biraz kacma var gibi mi azıcık :)

Hello Korkut! Lovely words, THANK YOU! Lately I find that TE has made a huge step forward compared to what it was some months ago when we felt that this whole thing would break together. Just crossed my mind and I guess it has to do with you and others that still believed that it was not fully over and I am happy to see that somethig grows back. Strong picture, red has always a wonderful energy. Have a good next week, Barbara.

KemaLMerT (12048) 2010-02-28 17:12

Albenili renkleri ile keyifle izlenen bir çalışma..

Hi Korkut,
A shot with a mysterious feeling about it...
Like the colours and light and the faceless figure in silhouette.

siolaw (38294) 2010-03-03 23:12

Hi Korkut
Quite an experimental shot here with strong, saturated colors. The atmosphere and mood you want to convey is clear, specially with the note.
Greetings

Have a nice week...
