Istanbul has many great things but its masses of tourists are not one of them. I often travel through Istanbul as it is well connected to Asia and to my home base of Dublin. After my last trip to Iran, I was overwhelmed at the hordes of selfy-stick-wielding tourists that had overtaken Sultanahmet.
 
I could describe it further but I strongly believe an image is worth a thousand words. I think the look on the children's faces says it all...

I was staying a night at a house we rented through AirBnb near Phoenix Arizona and set my alarm nice and early to capture the Milky Way. 

Taken with the Samyang 12mm at f2, iso 1600 20 sec exposure.

i began this thread as the discussion of an experiment for the use of a pair 18650  lithium rechargable for a  extended battery  for all day shooting possibly 2 day shooting with alll day camera on and lots of review   chimping  and in camera raw processing ..., a benefit , in my eyes  
 
and correcting the problem of an under-powered system battery  the np 126.....
 
i dont know why this has devolved into the merits  of economical shooting  and the criticism of shooting a lot of images ..... there is no   "right "  way to shoot   some might try to treat a digital apsc  as a view camera and shoot 2 images   and some might  blast a series of  30 shots during  a  moment of intense  sports action multiple times during the day   and the rest of the faithful something in between  slow and methodical is something i enjoy  i also like to shoot high speed for  action shots sometimes 
 
heres a simple truth to wrap your head around:   canon and nikon and pentax slr batteries  are  1800   1900 mah  [7.2 to 7.4v]
 power cells.... close to double the typical mirrorless cell   which i believe to be  the most valid criticism   of mirrorless in general  by those considering a switch. 
 
the backpack solar array is interesting   but  im sure  my homemade   battery base  will work fine  while adding  less than 1\2 inch to the base of my   x pro 2 ... the highly rated nitecores   are SAFE, PROTECTED, and  fully compliant with modern safety battery standards ,,, something i cannot claim for aftermarket np 126   china  cells which i now use ........ i will not buy  60 dollar fuji np126 cells.
 
i intend to do a real world test on the x pro 2  [ not the xa1 again ]  to see how long they last  in my regular usage patterns  [ i use single shot  with chimping and in camera raw processing mostly  ].
 
 i suspect  1 to 2 days shooting   keeping 5 fuji batteries  or 3 at all times  and making sure the charge is full
is a chore id sooner not do
