Turkey (Türkiye) Yavuz Sultan Selim Mosque from Galata Bridge, Istanbul
View the silhoute of Yavuz Sultan Selim Mosque from Galata Bridge in Istanbul, shortly after sunset. It's a buzzing area around the bridge and you will find many more perspectives for amazing photos.
Photography Tips
You will need a telephoto focal length to take this view, I used 560mm on EOS 5D3. Tripod is nice to have, but not must have, as long as your system has some image stabilization.
By the way, there are nice restaurants nearby :)
