Flash Portrait in Fayoum Desert

Flash Portrait - End Result

I want to share with you a few flash pictures I took during my second trip to Fayoum desert, you might remember my three-part post about my visit there four months ago. I repeated most of what I did before, but challenged myself not to take a single picture similar to the ones I took last time.

Fayoum Desert Trip - Part 1

Reducing the tires pressure, to conquer the soft sand

 
I went to the desert a few weeks ago on a one day do-it-all trip with some of my old friends, and a lot of new friends that I met for the first time. We went to Al Fayoum, and started our trip from there, it's a known and famous place for tourists, but being Egyptians we don't usually regard our country with a tourist's eye, so this time we decided to go and see what was all the fuss about. Full details after the break.

Shooting In The Desert - My First Time

 

A couple of years ago I noticed that one my friends started posting lots of "Dunes" pictures, they usually consisted of a car or two, a few guys and lots of sand. I wondered what they did in these trips and where did they go to, so he offered me to join him in one of the trips and I jumped at the opportunity. I wanted to enjoy the adventure and take better-than-camera-phone pictures, hit the jump for the full pictorial.
