A collection of photos taken on a trip to Istanbul in 2025, shot with a Canon EOS R camera & and my iPhone 15 Pro Max.

From Wikipedia, the city now known as Istanbul developed to become one of the most significant cities in history. Byzantium was founded on the Sarayburnu promontory by Greek colonists, potentially in the seventh century BC. For nearly sixteen centuries following its reestablishment as Constantinople in 330 AD, it served as the capital of four empires: the Roman Empire (330–395), the Byzantine Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922).

The Bosporus connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and forms one of the continental boundaries between Asia and Europe. The strait splits Istanbul, with two third’s of the city’s population of 16 million living in Europe and the balance in Asia.
