Turkish boats in the Bosporus fully detailed with the Nikon 70-200 mm VR-II
I know it is just modern boats… mainly ferries for tourists… but there is something in these pictures I like.. click to magnify each and enjoy the stunning details of the Nikon 70-200 VR-II mounted on the Nikon D800.
In this first picture, the bridge is 6 km far away: do you see the buses on it?
Can you spy in the background the ultra long tanker in the picture above?
… there are seven minarets in this last picture: on which one the muezzin is praying?
The ever changing (cropped) panorama at the seafront of Istanbul: D800 36 Mpx “vs” Nokia Lumia 1020 41Mpx
The following pictures are near-to 100% crop from shots with D800 + 16-35 F/4. Click each to magnify.
Walking towards to “golden horn“
The Galata bridge and tower
The “Bosphorus fires” at sunset
The Ataturk bridge

The Suleiman Mosque
For example, the first picture of this post is cut out of the below one.
Cropped pictures showed here are not as crispy as with a zoom (the mounted lens is the Nikon 16-35 f/4 wide-angle), but they are still better detailed than the Nokia Lumia examples you can find here . Of course I should have had both cameras at hand in the same moment… but it is clear how useless the 100% crops from Nokia are, unless light conditions are optimal like here. Pity, I thought a Nokia Lumia 1020 could have been useful when my back refuses to carry the D800.
