Thank you for viewing.

These are all stunning Nihat! I love the drama of the clouds with that old building, but the more detailed shots with reflections and interiors are ghostly themselves. I don't know why you want or need language corrections. Your grasp of English is as good as those of us who have been speaking it all our lives

Wonderful, Nihat. You had posted one or two of those images a while back I do believe. Its great to see them again and also to see them in context with the additional images as well as the history of the town, which is fascinating.

I love the one with the old car as well as the one with the shack in which half the sky is cloud and the other half not. But,...all are stunning!

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Thank you very much indeed, Lesley.
Thank you for you comment regarding my command of English. I do enjoy your stories, and value your input.
I was born in September. Only that brings a load of issues with perfectionism. I may make minor mistakes with prepositions or some may argue it from the stand point of the accepted writing forms. I had 2-3 little corrections on this article. Yet, why should the writing be more scrutinized than the photography as an art form..

Thank you very much, Brian.
It was a grand day out. The fierce wind made me press down the tripod when I was making the infrareds with 1/2-1 second exposures.

 

[Brian Moore]

Nihat, were you shooting with the Mamiya 7 that day? (Wondering if that is the camera in the window reflection.)

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Brian, I used 2 set-ups without changing lenses that day due to extreme wind, dust and cold.
Mamiya 7, 43mm f4.5, a light-weight tripod (infrared film changing in the car).
The reflections/interior images were made with Olympus OM, 50mm Macro f2.0, handheld with HP5+ film, less than a roll.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks, Nihat.

Wonderful story...wonderful pictures. I really enjoyed it. And...stop worrying about your English. Your way with words as they relate to your art works just perfectly.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Great blog there, Nihat. You have a good way with words, full of character, like your images.

 

[Paul Lange]

My favourites have to be the two interiors. I wouldn't worry about your grip of English Nihat it is far better than some English people I have met.

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Thank you very much, Glenn.
