“There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson • I love watching people as I walk the streets. This frame is from the streets of Old City of Marmaris as tourists do portrait shots of each other. ~~~~~ Camera of choice: Sony a7rm3 • 2470GM ~~~~~ Please follow me @was.once.taken © Mehmet Tekin All of the photos shared are my own.

While the first establishment dates back to 1000 BC, Dalyan region, now a #UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been home to many civilizations up until 1500 AD. • Kaunos was an important and thriving sea port in the southwestern Anatolia. Near Dalyan, Mugla, Turkey. The remenants of the archeological structures and rock-cut tombs of the kings tell a rich tale of the civilizations past. • Back then, the channels shaped by the surrounding reeds were much less than of today’s which is a result of rising seabed. • When you visit beloved Turkey, this is one of those places you should not miss. # ~~~~~ Camera of choice: Sony #A7M3 #A7III • SEL24-70GM ~~~~~ Please follow me @was.once.taken © Mehmet Tekin All of the photos shared are my own.
