Panorama

CLICK TO ENLARGE

My first panoramic shot, plastered together from 5 separate shots. 50mm lese and a 1.8 apperature, which resulted in the extensive lense vgnetting through the picture. Take and learn I guess. Either way. This is the European shore as seen from the Asian shore. On the left you get a glimpse of the Bosphorous bridge connecting the European side with the Asian side of Istanbul. This was the first bridge built to connect the two shores and apparently the traffic was so high that it paid for itself within a decade. There is another bridge further up the straight but it is a bit of a distance away so as you can immagine, in a city of 11 million inhabitants and only two bridges, not counting the car ferry, the traffic jam's a bit nutty, well all the time really.

It's the 26th of November and for the past two days the temperature was averaging at 17 degrees Celcius.


If you have any questions regarding living in Istanbul or the city in general, just leave it in the comment section. I will try and do my best to answer your question.
