Also called as Chinese hibiscus or China rose.

Sunrise

Just before sunrise.

Actually it is a beautiful place to take photographs. You should carry a wide angle and a good zoom in this road.

But as I did not have much time it is a snapshot.

:)

Cappadocia

Geographic events formed Peribacaları (fairy chimneys), during the historical period.

The name was traditionally used in Christian sources throughout history and is still widely used as an international tourism concept to define a region of exceptional natural wonders characterized by fairy chimneys (image below) and a unique historical and cultural heritage. The term, as used in tourism, roughly corresponds to present-day Nevşehir Province of Turkey.

Carpe diem.

Duracell battery show

Last sunday there was a show of Duracell batteries on the street. They prepared two stands for remote control cars. One was for bigger cars the other for small.

People were playing with the cars and Duracell showed that their batteries last much longer.

Actually it is true, I had tested in my sons remote control cars. :))

But I prefer using rechargable batteries.

:)

Cherry tree

I have posted the photographs of cherry blossoms before, now time for the cherry fruits on tree.
:)

Apricots are green, yet :))

Last month I have posted photos of apricot flowers.

Now that flowers are like these. They are green now but in a few days they will have their orange colour.

:)

Cherry flowers

This is a photo of cherry fruit blossoms. I took this photo in April.

Now there are cherries on that tree.

:)

Cigarette, coffee and remote :)

An 87 years old man keep on smoking. :)

I made this photo black and white and left some parts of the cigarette box coloured by using layers property of the software paint.net.

By the way, I have to write this:

"Cigarette smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health"

as you know

:)

Seagulls at rest

As my digital camera has not a longer zoom I have to take the photos of birds on the land.

:))

If I will buy a digital SLR then I will take photo of flying ones.

:)

I should sell my Nikon Fa. This small point and shoot camera (Canon a590 is) takes better photos. :)
The people who still shoots film will be angry. :)
Weather was cold in an April day.

Heart of the red tulip

A close up photograph of a red tulip.

Street musician

I saw a street musician on the street who was playing saxophone. Generally they play guitar or etc.

He was playing good and have collected a few bucks in the box.

Red tulips and a tree

On the pavement I saw these red tulips around the tree.

Now it is tulip season and you can see them everywhere.

I put a tag of "street photography" . This photo was taken also on the street but actually hard to call this a street photo. It is a snapshot :)

Apricot flowers

Another sign of spring :)

Apricot flowers will become delicious fruits :))

Signs of Spring-Plum flowers

So, here is a macro photo of plum tree flowers in our garden. I will take the photos of the plums in summer. This close up photo was taken with a Canon A 590is camera. It is a point and shot bu has a lot of properties of a digital slr camera.

:))

old wooden house

Old wooden house. Nobody is living anymore.

Spring has arrived

Spring has arrived.

Don't stay at home go out and see the first blossoms of Spring.

See the flowers on the trees.

Bees are collecting pollens

I should be a poet

Nikon FA

Another view of my SLR camera Nikon Fa.
I did not use it much so as seen it is very good condition.
But still I have some photos taken with it. Hope one day I will scan and put them here.
I sold one of the lenses I use with this camera. It was a very nice lens Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 (1:1.2)
Now I am using it with a small Zoom Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5 .
Now I mostly use a Canon Powershot a590is. Nice small camera with batteries. Have almost the same functions like Nikon FA and practical. But ofcourse it is a point and shoot.
Taking photo is with a SLR is much different.
I may buy a new DSLR :)

Meatballs with chips

A photo of delicious grilled meatballs with chips. These type of meatball restaurants are cheaper and sell delicious food.

Photo is taken indoors without flash (speedlight).

ISO speed 200

Aperture value 2.6

Shutter speed 1/60

Noise ratio is higher because of the low light and higher ISO values, but this is only a point and shoot camera (Canon powershot A 590i) with some properties like DSLR :)

A red rose

a pink rose, actually a colour between red and pink.
The white spot is not an error. It was a part of the rose :) , natural. :))
