Ghosts into the Desert

I have taken this shot in the Desert of Wadi Hitan (Valley of Whales) in Fayoum, Egypt. The Photo was meant to be captured with relatively long exposure to get people movement as if they were ghosts. Historically, this valley was part of the Mediterranean seabed Millions of years ago. And moving around, you can find few fossils of ancient whales skeletons every few hundreds meters.

EXIF: F22 – 3 s – 24 mm – ISO 100

The Photo is a single exposure captured with the SONY A7 and the Zeiss 24 – 70 mm lens. I also had a 10 stops ND filter put on to get this slightly long exposure in the middle of the day. The photo was processed in both Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.

لقد أخذت هذه اللقطة في صحراء وادي الحيتان في الفيوم، مصر. كان من المقصود أن تكون الصورة بهذا التعرض الطويل نسبيا للحصول على حركة الناس كما لو كانوا أشباحا. تاريخيا، كان هذا الوادي جزءا من قاع البحر المتوسط منذ ملايين السنين. بالتجول فى الوادى، يمكنك العثور على بعض الحفريات القديمة لهياكل عظمية للحيتان كل بضع مئات الأمتار.

التقطت الصورة بتعريض واحد باستخدام كاميرا سونى A7 مع العدسة زايس 24-70 مم. هذا بالاضافة لاستخدام فلتر ND بعشرة درجات تقليل للضوء للتقليل من سرعة اللقطة والحصول على التعريض الطويل نسبيا فى منتصف اليوم. تمت معالجة الصورة باستخدام برنامجى لايت روم وفوتوشوب.
