I was very limited on weight and girth for carry-on luggage so could not take my better cameras or lenses and instead took a 18-105 kit lens, and 10-20 Sigma low-end wide angle and my D7000, no grip or even extra battery. We came upon a group taking photos of tourists in costumes so my girl wanted to try one only of the dresses and accessories and they allowed me to take my own photos if I paid them 10 TL, ($0.52). They had some fixed lighting that was rather dim so higher than desired ISO was needed. These were taken in an ancient underground cistern dating to the 1st century BC. They only wanted 35cents per 8x10 glossy print for their own photos. I had to use ISO 2000 and max aperture at that FL was 4.5. Victoria liked them but like all girls, automatically said: "these make me look fat". She is 5'6 and 112 lbs and fit but think she is fat in these photos...Women!   Lots of great photo opportunities where these were taken, Istanbul but our stay in the center of the country in Cappadocia area where we explored the unique geology or the area and stayed a couple nights in a cave. Many of the homes and businesses are built into ancient rock formations, some have had continuous human occupants for 7000 years. Our hotel has 7 rooms, our room was to stories and 50 square meters. The walls were original but floors and fixtures were modern and the bath area the largest and most modern equipped I have seen in a hotel.  I was impressed with how well the D7000 worked with the cheap plastic lenses. Without the grip it is light, small and solid feeling in hand. I took 786 frames and still have 60% charge left on my single battery. [ATTACH]303489[/ATTACH][ATTACH]303490[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
