Day Is Coming
Old Bedouin In The Desert
Prints available at:
* Taken with a very basic 'Point and Shoot'
While travelling through the Sinai desert on an admin trip the driver stopped at a little Bedouin camp for tea (no idea where as I was sleeping when we arrived).
This old man welcomed us and invited us into a small brick room for tea, the inside of which were swarming with hoards of flies and for this reason a fire was burning throughout the day which resulted in these awesome light rays through the smoke inside.
This is one of those instances where I REALLY regretted not having brought my DSLR (as it was an admin trip), and all I had with me was a Sony TX-9. A camera (could not be more 'point and shoot') which I purchased exclusively for its HD video. I've always hated the quality of it pictures (only jpegs) with no manual control...fine for snapshots but thats about it.
Have to say I was more than surprised when I managed to get this shot...the colour version of which looks almost as good:)
We were there for no more than 10 minutes so quite happy that I got this shot (along with some similar HD video).
