Short Turkey trip with my Pentax 645
Hello,
a month ago I made a short Turkey trip to Alanya with my girlfriend. I took my Pentax 645 with me. Most of the pictures a shoot an Kodak Ektar 100, some on Porta 400. I used most of the time 45mm and 75mm PENTAX-A 645 f2.8 lenses.

I'm very proud of this waterfall picture. There was not much light in die valley and I only had the ISO 100 film in the 645. But even with the 45mm f2.8 wide open and a shutter speed something below 1/60 i manged to get a somewhat sharp image.

Thank you!
This are the ruins of the antic city Naula near the modern Alanya. The ruins are surrounded by the small city of Mahmutlar. But Turkey has so many old Roman cities that nobody cares for this insignificant little settlement.
This ruin has not been developed for tourism and is used by the locals as pasture for cows and goats.
But I found the contrast between the old ruins and the new hotel and residential complexes very impressive.

Incredible shots! Absolutely wonderful. I'm a Fuji man myself but I think you made the right choice with the Kodak film, everything looks beautiful and crisp with tons of color and life. Fantastic work!
Wonderful shots. The warmth of the film is very inviting. On this cold day at home I feel like I am basking in the sunshine enjoying a vacation myself 🙂 Very nice collection of images and looks like a nice trip!

Very cool, and agreed it contrasts like you intended! Funny, how something that old can just be pawned off as pasture. That's ancient compared to North American history. Anything that's 150-200 years old, is about the oldest architecture that will you find in the Midwest of the United States. My state wasn't an official part of the US until the 1880's.
