I did a minitrip to Turkey, here are some snapshot with the walimex 14mm

check also my other samyang 14mm thread, with more samples and how to calibrate it to use it as hyperfocal wide open

I wanted to see Izmir but I lost 1 hour to make 300m, circulation is even worst than Budapest so I shot this park for souvenir


this is Ephesus stadium, 14mm can almost cover it


there was a nice restaurant but they told me it is not for tourist


my daughter wanted to go to the playground of Troy


the topkapi palace of Istanbul


14mm is nice to take the atmosphere


14mm is not enough to frame agia sophia


we go to the bazaar to get some leather


walking in Istanbul


difficult to use a 14mm in a crowded place


stones in Perge

Very nice Poilu.

Brings back the memories when I visited all these places 20 years ago.

Looks nice! Also looks hot, I imagine.
Am I the only one who thought of seeing a bird picture after reading the subject? Rolling Eyes Laughing

It looks like Turks are tolerant with female tourists not wearing the veil?

Very nice series.

Ephesus has changed since I was there in 1991, there was nothing other than ruins then, definitely no restaurant in front of the library.

The quality of the light in #1 is wonderful.

The waterfall shot with many people is interesting, what PP did you apply to that one?

When I was in Istanbul in 1991 few women wore the veil, headscarves yes, but to me it didn't seem much different to Greece in how the women were dressed, maybe I saw mostly tourists though?

it was one of my joke, it was an hotel who organized a dinner
I have seen a documentary who tell that some historical places in Istanbul are rented for weddings or other events for big money

I push the shadows to +91 and the clarity to +33, this gived the almost HDR look you notified

I changed the title to Turkey trip Very Happy

Turkey is a democratic secular state, a law ban veil in universities, actual government tried to change this law and didn't succeed
about half of the Turkish women wear veil but colorful ones looking more like fashion accessories
in touristic Istanbul, they were a lot of women in burka but they were tourists, not locals

Interesting, thanks for the info, I do like the look you achieved a lot, I have never played with the clarity and shadows settings before, I will try them after seeing this. Smile

the shots with many people involved are my favs, you have been far enough away to not change perspective to much - perfect.
Before looking at your pictures i would never have thought that 14mm is a "travel lens" even knowing from your former post with this lens that you hold a black belt in wide angle Very Happy

thanks! I didn't think that 14mm would be usable for people, but after playing with it, I found it perfectly usable
of course you have to frame for the landscape with people as accessories and avoid to have them in extreme borders
the samyang have lot of distortion and need a push of the clarity slider but it is sharp from wide open
the right foot of the front men is distorted (extreme border) but otherwise proportion are not shocking

those crop are not sharpened
