SGTrekker 8D7N Wonders of Egypt Photography Tour (28 Aug-04 Sep 2011)

[limwhow]

You wanted me to be in awe of the carvings wat.

Where got?
I ask you to be 'in awe' of the God, but you go and 'in awe' of the wrong God mah..
This is the Crocodile and Falcon temple, you went to be 'in awe' with the God of the durian... chay!

Including limwhow. :bsmilie:

#49 : limwhow with his M9P + Noctilux 50mm

Haha... And the little torchlight dangling at the side of my camera too.
HAHAHAHA..!

Unlike the earlier pyramids we visited, the Pyramids of Giza are more commercialised with more tourist arrival.


#44 : Taking people taking photograph

These Ang Mohs also very funny.
People like vngks bring tripod to shoot landscape and interiors under low lights.
These Ang Mohs lug the tripod so that they can shoot themselves sitting in the hot sand. I take my Galabia off to them!

 

[AlexK]

Wah! Really lovely!
As you all can see, all four of us had our left feet forward.
This is important as in Egypt, we MUST ALWAYS stand with our left feet forward to indicate bravery.
(No one stands with the right foot forward. Cos it means... nothing.. LOL)

limwhow, limwhow ............ :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:

BTW, thanks vngks.

 

[AlexK]

Hieroglyphics at Kom Ombo Temple

I knew as a fact that when I go to Egypt, I would like to shoot pictures of the Hieroglyphs on the walls of the ancient temples.
They fascinate me, although I certainly didn't understand a single word of them.
But I guess we all had our fun with them as we could easily guesstimate what they aga-aga meant. LOL...

The Pharaoh and his carrots

The Pharaoh and his ice cream

.
vngks already has a shot of this. But still I put up my share of it, to complete my this series.. LOL..

The Pharaoh and his durian

The Crocodile God or his ka-gia (subordinate) cos does have the solar-disc over the head.

Portraiture shooting in Kom Ombo Temple...

We were walking around Kom Ombo shooting the columns and the architecture until a few of us stumble upon this lovely little Egyptian boy who was so cute and spontaneous in his expression. He kept going back to Ageless to see the photos of himself in the LCD. That was when it all started...

Then the slightly older man came along. I think, of course BS (now don't anyhow think, I was referring to Baksheesh)was in his mind. But the set up was so surreal that the few of us just started shooting him.

Those who have been to Egypt have come back with the complain of being bothered left, right and centre by touts and locals wanting a share of the Baksheesh. It's always "US$1", or "5 (Egyptian) pounds". But of course, nowadays with the terrible drop in tourist numbers, some bolder ones have increased their prices.

 

[SereneXMM]

There are many dark and bright parts in the temple but I try to shoot everything using my fish eye la. Keke.

I shoot and shoot with the fish eye until I siao already. :wink:

The boy very cute and he keep coming and checking our LCD and smiling. We all really enjoyed shooting him.
