Sultan Ahmet
Hagia Sophia is a former patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. It was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, until the completion of the Seville Cathedral in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between A.D. 532 and 537. (Source: Wikipedia)
A classic 'shot to death', but I had to do it! ;-) This was the only clear evening that I had during my stay. Otherwise it was raining most of the time.
Digital Blending done with 7 exposures, all manually blended. The strong lighting from the spot lights was the most challenging part and I tried to reduce them as much as I could.
Of course, I have some very nice interior shots of Hagia Sophia that still need to be processed.

Short walk at night in the city. Aya Sofya was also good choice.
