On a rainy day, a photo from Istanbul, Marmara

Photographer's Note

Since days, İstanbul gets heavy rainfalls.
This is again a capture from the seaside walking way I made on such a rainy day.

The small lakes under the trees are been created by huge wawes from the sea ending on the greens.

I prefferred b&w as there is no color on such days.

Hello Mesut,
Excellent choice of black and white to present this stormy scene; one can see that the sea is very rough. I like the point of view with the trees nicely dispersed around the frame. The seagulls trying to find something to eat add another dimension. The image has a fine range of tones and very good clarity.

Hello Mesut,
The sea has advanced a long way into the "seaside". Eventually the water will recede, but as for now this looks like an unsafe place. The waves look threatening. The strength of this photo is the graphical beauty of the trees, waves and reflections, so b&w was a good choice.
Kind regards,
Gert

Merhaba Mesut,

B&W perfectly suited this scene of rough seas and drenched foreshore.
The small trees appear to be bending as if to the wind.
In fact, the trees are very well included elements in your photograph, paddling their roots in the f/g and bending to the winds in the b/g.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Bonjour Mesut,

J'aime beaucoup le traitement en post production qui donne l'impression d'une très vieille photo même si elle fut prise cette semaine. Cela prend du courage de sortir par une tempête semblable.

Amicalement

Serge

Bonjour, cher Mesut,
La météo fait ce qu'elle veut. La nature subit ses assauts et ces arbres ont les pieds dans l'eau, ce qui donne une belle composition.
Le choix du noir et blanc convient bien à la composition.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Mesut,
The weather really wasn't very inviting here, a rainy, stormy and cloudy day. Only the gulls seemed to dare come out in this weather. Good photo, well composed and balanced. The B&W suits the mood nicely.

Hello Mesut,
Such a sad photo where the rain falls down like tears can of course only in black and white.
You probably did not have to shop around the weird colours.
Excellent presentation
Have a nice day. Groet Rob

Thanks for sharing this breath-taking shot.
I love that you have kept it black/white it gives so much thought and creates that right mood of rainy day, sadness and loneliness. Amazing work.
Best regards.

Hi Mesut
Wonderful serene composition and your B&W satisfies its purpose as this focuses on shapes and forms that really grabs the eye straight away. The trees lead well to the backdrop and water reflection adds depth to the tone. An interesting location very well observed and captured. Congrats
Best regards

Hello Mesut,

A moody and atmospheric shot of this b&w stormy day with the water breaking across the esplanade and accumulating in puddles. The seagulls animate the scene and the fallen leaves hint at late Autumn or winter. Tfs.

Gunaydin Mesut,
Very difficult light when it is a rainy day, so B&W works well under those condition.
managed well the winter ambiance, I can tell this promenade is a wonderful place to take a stroll on a shining other day.
Wish you a nice weekend,
Ike

Hello Mesut.
A very gray and rainy day and certainly also unpleasant, good choice the B & W, which gives us a good range of grays and a nice graphic of the bare branches of the trees, on that gray sky.
Very good lighting management and sharpness.
Well done. I like it.
I wish you a pleasant week.
Very best regards.
Luis.
