Quiet times?

So what's up? Are we going through a quiet period right now? Not many daily posts as far as I can see (being a very frequent visitor to OPF).

I hope all of you are out there shooting, shooting, shooting; rather than writing and reading about it. However, don't forget to share some of that shooting with us please :).

Cheers,

Vacation time....

It's quiet everywhere. People are on vacation, school is just getting out for summer.

I am leaving on Monday for a couple weeks of vacation - to Istanbul, Croatia and Greece. We won a grand prize cruise in a charity raffle. I doubt that I will be able to upload my images from our trip from the seas but I will try to help keep you all entertained.

Kathy,

If we have time before you I'll show you my pics so you'll know what you need for the shots and what you might miss out or must-see!

You deserve that trip since your good husband bought 4 raffle tickets! That was generous!

Tours are all set

Cem and Asher - thank you for your generosity. My work schedule is so tight before I go, I am just hoping to get my work done as well as finalize my packing

We arrive at 5:30 pm on Tuesday. We are hoping after our long travel time that we will have slept on the plane (in coach!) and have some energy for seeing something besides a pillow on arrival!

On Wednesday, we will board our cruise ship but after we drop our luggage, I have arranged for a guide and driver so we will go to Galata area and to the Spice Market. Also to a mosque where there is a view and to the Cisterns. Please forgive me, since I did not learn all the actual spellings and names of the locations. They are written down but not handy.

The next day we have 9-10 hours of touring. We have learned to go with a group but break away to photograph. We will see the Grand Bazaar, Haigia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Taksim Square and have a cruise on the Bosphorus with lunch in Asia.

We will have a day at sea on Friday and then go to Ephesus on Saturday. I will try to post some photos - time permitting.

I can't wait!

Yes it's probably shooting weather in most places now. Also of course this board is relatively young and will grow with time and get busier.
