St. George Monastery


St. George Monastery
This is a photo of a monastery located on one of the Princes Islands in Istanbul, Turkey. It was quite a hike up to this place but the view was awesome.

TOPKAPI SARAYI Istanbul, Turkey


TOPKAPI SARAYI

I took these photos while on vacation to Istanbul. There were many awesome colorful areas like these and I definitely have to go back once I have more photography experience because I missed some great photo opportunities.

4TH of July Fireworks


So this was my first time shooting fireworks with this camera and this lens.  I shot in total manual mode on Bulb and stayed around f/13 for aperture. I found that these settings worked but I still need to fine tune it for next time.

Sucker


Just messing around with an idea I had. Not sure this works but I'll keep trying.

Wide Angle Lens


This is a cropped image as the original size of this photo would be too much for the blog. But it is truly amazing how much a lens can change your photography.

Congratulations Spain


Spain played a great game which culminated in a 4-0 win over Italy. They won the World Cup in South Africa two years ago and now the 2012 Euro. Are they truly the best in recent history? I guess it depends on who you ask.
