Turkey (Türkiye) Hagia Sophia, Istanbul
The shot was taken in front of a fountain to get the reflections of the beautiful Hagia Sophia in the early morning.
Photography Tips
You might need a variety of lenses,16-35mm & 24-70mm will do the job,
A tripod is needed at night and before sunrise,
I was there before sunrise so I could get this view with no distractions.
It`s hard to take a shot with no people at any time of the day in Istanbul, because usually there are always a few people hanging out everywhere, even at 5 am. Be patient and bring your tripod and ND filters.
