We have been to various places in Turkey a number of times. Istanbul is one of our favorite cities in the world. You can easily spend 5 days there and if you do, i suggest you book a hotel in the downtown area, not the area out where the primary American hotels are located. If you stay out, it takes a trip to town each time you want to go roam around and no reason we found to do that. One of our favorite trips ever was to fly from Istanbul to Cappadocia. We had read about some cave hotels in that area and I contacted one and we booked 3 nights in a cave hotel. The hotel's owner set us up with a guide to pick us up at the small airport and take us everywhere we went each day. We had a 10 passenger Mercedes van with the guide plus a driver. I like photography and we could stop any time I wanted and let me shoot. We also booked an early morning balloon ride over the countryside which was something we had never done and it was a wonderful trip. The pricing for everything was reasonable and we learned a lot about that area of Turkey. I know there are probably other places to go but these are a few we have been in and been happy for the opportunity.
Excellent shots in my opinion. If you had not mentioned the size, most of us would not even think about it. And the falls are very pretty.
I am running on a brand new MacBook Pro 16" laptop. Maybe that makes a difference but you would think that using the same Ventura software we would get the same results but I am not a computer guru either. Good luck on getting to the bottom of it. It can drive us crazy with these type of problems.
I am using C1 ver 22 build 15.3.1.15 with my MacBook Pro running Ventura 13.0.1 and have not had any problems.
I have a Sandisk 1TB SSD which is very small and very fast. I have been using it to back up my MacBook Pro computer for a few months and really like it. They make larger sizes so if you are interested just check where they sell them which is anywhere from B&H to Amazon.
I have been running it for about a week on a MacBook Pro with no problems with any of my programs or the computer.
If they all come out like these, you will be a happy camper.
I have dealt with most of the used guys and UsedPhotoPro is very good. They have been quick to respond and after an item is shipped to them, they were quick to pay. I can highly recommend them.
I have done a few and recently used Blurb for the first time. They did a good job on the printing. Putting the book together on Blurb did not seem like the easiest of the ones I have done but it worked out with some working at it. I have also used others, White House Custom Color and I believe Costco at one time.
I recently put together a book as a gift for friends who had a 50th anniversary and I shot some photos at the party. I put one together when our family took a family trip to Europe and I gave a copy to our 3 daughters. I put one together for an aunt's 90th birthday party. So there are many things you can put one together for.

Sony has a great series in their RX100M. It now runs from M1 to M7. I have owned the RX100M3 and now the RX100M5. Both are great cameras and I am sure the M7 is also. The earlier models up thru the M5 are 24-70 range. I think the later two models are 24-200.
I own this camera for the exact purpose you are asking about. My RX100M5 is light, has a small flash built in, and most importantly to all to me, it has a view finder. The first two models did not have a viewfinder and I will not buy a camera without a viewfinder.
Take a look at these. They are not inexpensive but they are worth the money if you can afford to spend what they cost.
I have a Sony RX100M5 for exactly the uses you mention. They also have out now two later versions. This camera is light, has a viewfinder, small flash, goes down to f1.8. The version 5 or later should be great for you The version 5 is 24-70. The later versions I believe are 24-200.
