Very nice, wish I was into photography when I was there!

Wonderful images! I especially liked the market images. Very lively with beautiful tones.
The picture with the McDonald's sign somehow made me a bit sad.
Well done Bas, thank you.

Lovely black & white.

#8 says it all....🙄

This is very nicely done.

It is strange how the word "Al-Aqssar" ended up being "Luxor" when using the Egyptian dialect for Arabic.

Really nice photos. I also really liked the market photos, especially numbers 10 and 20. Number 16 also caught my attention.

I didn't know that was where the word came from. Thanks Raid. I can see such a thing being misunderstood by a westerner not listening too closely. But anyway, now I know.

Think of Al-Aqssar as L-Uxor.

Thanks Raid, that was enlightening. Great series of pictures of the market. I had very limited time at the market when I visited Luxor in 2010. I would like to go back at some point.

I have been three times to Cairo, but that was the only place that I visited in Egypt.

 

[basthijssen]

Thnx all. Luxor is more relaxed then Cairo...And the markets are a great place to spend your time... Just hangin' around ill they get used to you... And there is no hassle on the Egyptian market... On the tourist market it's hell...haha

Hi Mark,
Next time I get a chance to visit Egypt, I will try to visit Luxor too.

The McD sign made me laugh! 🙂. sad but funny.

Which camera equipment was used to take these photos in Luxor?

 

[basthijssen]

Hi Raid.
All the pics are made with the X-Pro1, 18mm and 60mm lenses.

This camera makes it all seem so easy to make lovely pictures.
A nice collection! 🙂

I don't think it's easy...but for sure it's more fun!
