Storm over Istanbul.
Storm season all over the northern hemisphere reached Istanbul just when i was crossing Galata Bridge, so i rushed down to the water, set up and got this awesome lightning on image.
If you look carefully you can see the giant bat-signal too.
Feedback appreciated and welcome!
The bolts are absolutely stunning, but I would consider a tighter crop, as most of the city is rather standard/boring and the water taking up the lower third of the frame also doesn't add much...
Maybe even a square crop, leaving out the left darker part of the water and less interesting clouds? You would loose that bridge, however...
Thank you for your comment.
I absolutely agree on the boring water (i already copped out quite a lot with the 16:9) and unfortunately Istanbul is rather flat building wise doesn't have a stunning skyline.
I actually have a version with a 4:5 crop that I'll use for social media. I thought on the big screen this one would work.
Can I/we see the 4:5 anywhere? Would be interesting.
There is a link to my Instagram when you hover your mouse over my name. I ended up cropping it really tight.
