11 nights traveling around Turkey. Canon 7D.

[MikeWilkinson]

I spent 11 nights traveling around Turkey, starting in Istanbul and going through Ankara, Antalya, Cappadocia, Bursa, Ephesus, and back to Istanbul. Most nights we were in a different city, and downloading images on the road with little sleep. I shot about 6,000 photos and 300 video clips– I hope to have the video cut in about a month or so– below are some of the photos.

Those are some nice pictures man! Some of my favorites are the night shots. Was this a personal sight seeing trip?

Video is done.



Here is some info on the equipment and process on my blog page.

they look good Mike. How did you like your Induro CT014 tripod with Manfrotto head? Was it enough for the 70-200 lens?

The head was solid, and a bit clunky at times. The legs held up, but I could see some bend in them. Definitely go for something a bit more sturdy if you can deal with the weight and size.

I was asked to do somework in Turkey myself a couple years ago and it was a pretty nice experience. While there, there were days where the sun was extremely bright and the challenge was always over exposure. The great thing about it was that the camera I brought along (a Panasonic HPX170 since I was shooting video) had built in ND Filters so they saved my skin a lot of times.

With that said, I purchased a camera to shoot stills (Sony DSLR) and found that the ND's I bought for it while in Turkey never gave me the results I was looking for.

Out of all your gear I don't see any ND's. What did you use when you were in Ephesus or Cappadocia for example?
