Topkapi (Istanbul - Turkey) sent on September 08, 2013 (13:50) by Koda59. 29 comments, 1638 views.

, 1/40 f/5.6, ISO 3200, hand held. Istanbul, Turkey.

Topkapi (turco Topkapi, letteralmente "Porta del Cannone"), sito sul Promontorio del Serraglio, ovvero Sarayburnu, tra il Corno d'Oro e il mar di Marmara, è il nome di una porta del Serraglio (palazzo sultanale) ottomano di Costantinopoli (oggi Istanbul), che tra il 1455 e il 1458 crebbe inglobando il sito dell'antico Palazzo imperiale bizantino che rispetto al Serraglio era peraltro di minor superficie. La costruzione palaziale era protetta come tante altre costruzioni dalle medesime destinazioni da un muro di cinta, e l'accesso era garantito da varie porte, affidate ad appositi corpi armati di guardia. Una di esse si affacciava nel punto in cui il Corno d'Oro si apre sul Mar di Marmara. Altre porte erano: La Porta della Pace , la Porta di Mezzo , la Porta della Maestà , la Porta delle Vetture e la Porta della Felicità. Per una sorta di sineddoche architettonica, in cui una parte viene a descrivere il tutto, la Porta del Cannone identificò, a partire dal XVIII secolo, tutto il Palazzo del Sultano ottomano che, in età repubblicana, è stato destinato ad area museale. Attualmente il palazzo è adibito a museo e contiene gli splendidi manufatti che formano il tesoro del sultano.

“ excellent geometries „

. Thank you for your comment Donna. In fact I tried to keep the symmetries even though it was not easy because I had very little time to fine-tune the picture and check out the rest, also the light conditions were not optimal but the scene was pretty dark so I had to well use iso 3200 in order to minimize the risk of blur. At these high iso I have to say that the eos 6d was really behaved very well and are sufficiently satisfied with the result. See you soon and Good Night by Donna Koda:-P

@ Olovni:

“ warm colors „

. In fact Franco are glad you noticed this particular aspect, for some time I prefer that my images have a slightly warmer tone than a dominant cold that annoys the eye of the beholder. Thanks for everything. See you soon! Greetings Koda:-P
