Faithful ships of Istanbul

I captured this stunning image titled 'Faithful ships of Istanbul' just as the sun was setting, casting a mesmerizing glow over the Bosphorus. The timing was perfect, with the gentle hues of orange and purple painting the sky, creating a perfect backdrop for the ferry making its way across the glittering waters. The iconic silhouette of Istanbul's skyline, with its historical mosques and minarets, adds a dramatic dimension to this scene. I remember standing by the shore, carefully selecting my camera settings to capture the best of this moment—ISO 400, f/8 aperture, and a shutter speed of 1/125 seconds. These settings allowed me to balance the bright sky and the ferry's detailed features, ensuring the image was both vibrant and sharp. The composition is intentionally framed to lead the viewer's eye from the ferry's curved lines towards the horizon, emphasizing the serene yet bustling atmosphere of Istanbul at dusk. Being there in person made me appreciate the intertwining of modernity and history that defines this city, something that I hope translates through this photograph. This image not only reflects a beautiful evening in Istanbul but also the daily rhythm and life around its waters, where these faithful ships continue their journey nonstop.
