Description Wow where to even start on this shot.....
Well while digging through that box of photos today, I came also upon this shot. Shot on my old Richo KR series manual back in 1997 while watching the sunset at poolside of the Luxor. Handheld, using some old school Fuji Provia film! Yep, again film! Ever seen a 2400 dpi scanned in image? You do now lol One thing I do love about film, the resolution! Anyhow, I spose this can be chalked up under my latest journal entry entitled "I wonder" cuz I wonder when I will get back here, it's my favorite city in the world. It's just so romantic! I know one of these I will get my wish, and I will be sittin here hand in hand watching sights like this heheh Ahhhh makes me swoon LOL


I'll be doing a BIG print of this one. This shot was post work HELL. The original negatives gone so I had to scan in from the photo. VERY dirty but I did my best at cleaning it. Thoughts welcomed!

amazing shot. great sky, great colors, love the angle and the trees. the sturcture in the background (what is it?) detrats somewhat as do the lamps. it's still a great shot though.

This is one of the best sunset photos I`ve ever seen on deviant It`s simply great - lovely orange ,high contrast with black and of course the palms which are the best part of whole picture
Definite fav

Perfect photo, perfect colours, unfortunately there are white spots but I think because of scanning. Where did you take this pic, in Luxor Egypt or Vegas?

kkart In reply to vahu [2005-09-01 23:13:05 +0000 UTC]

ahhhh ya the spots are from the scratches in the original photo, basically went ahead and cloned and burned as much as i could. Luxor in vegas
