Three ladies in the Cairo bazaar hand over their phone to a friend to get some photos. It was a great day in the bazaar, and we saw some kids playing music in the street and singing… they were's even looking for money or anything, just singing and having fun! - Trey Ratcliff Click here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
I didn't get to spend much time at the pyramids, but I decided to make hay will the sun was shining. And boy was it! A bright bluebird day for sure. But, much to my surprise, a visit here in late January was not hot at all. In fact, it was about 19/65 degrees with a light breeze. I had to wear two layers to stay warm. I did a lot of studies of people and the pyramids, and this is one of my favorites. Most people don't know this, but I was born blind in one eye. This means that I don't really see in 3D the way most people do. I use things like parallax and relative size. In a way, this makes photography easier. So, you may notice in some of my photos, I tend to repeat objects of relatively the same size (in this case, humans), which give a clue as to the "depth" of the photo. The immediate cartesian X and Y are obvious, but by giving clues like this, the viewer gets an idea of the Z depth of the scene. Cairo, Egypt
Check out this photo! It was very difficult to make. Oh, this is over the Headquarters of Facebook south of San Francisco, where the entire roof is an enormous garden and just as the next section was beginning construction. First, we had to get permission to even fly the drone here. That wasn't easy. Luckily there is a good “celebrity management” team there at FB that was able to help out. (Note I don't really think of myself as a celeb). Anyway, once I finally got up, I did a vertirama. This was stitched together out of 5 different vertically-oriented shots. Palo Alto, California
