Outside Yeni Mosque

Nikon D3, 85 mm, f/2, 1/2500 sec, ISO 200

Many mosques has these places outside where people can wash themselves or just drink some water. I used it myself sometimes to just cool down with some cold water in my face. Istanbul is really hot this time of year. I didn’t drink the water though.

I shot this images with my fixed focal length 85 mm f/1.4 lens. I love that lens! Doesn’t get any sharper and you can’t find any lens that gives a better bokeh (out of focus rendering). At f/1.4 the depth of field is really shallow so I stepped it down to f/2 so at least the guy in the foreground was completely in focus.

I didn’t do much in post. Cropped it a little bit on the top and on the right side and added some contrast and clarity.
