Kameraltı Pazar

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I'm spending some time in Izmir, a city on the south west coast of Turkey, and enjoying the photographic opportunities :)
Here are a couple of shots taken at the Kameraltı marketplace - which is a bit like Paddy's on steroids.

This man was kind enough to let me photograph him as he kicked back and enjoyed an afternoon cigarette.

Love the images, the lighting on the first is really good, it just really works over the whole image. I also like it more than the second one due to the candid feel that we are getting a peek into his world without his knowledge.

thanks bwinnen. there's a couple of hot-spots on the first that i couldn't reduce fully in post. not sure if they're distracting or not. but, yeah, the candid feel of the first is nice - though, of course, after i'd made my presence known, i had to ask him to look away from the camera. he actually thought i was asking him to move out of frame (my turkish isn't so good...)

Excellent shots Carla. I actually put #2 at the head as that gentleman has a definitive cheeky look :)

Welcome Carla, both have a very nice feel for the reasons stated above. I prefer the composition of the first. Look forward to seeing more images from your trip.

great stuff Carla. Love the composition of the second pic, is that the original crop or did you re-crop it as his hand is a bit tight to the right side of the image. Otherwise brilliant

Thanks PiroStich!
Yes, i did re-crop, and didn't notice the tightness but you're right. Have adjusted. Thanks for the tip :)
