Collecting light, a photo from Luxor, Inland

Photographer's Note

Inside the Karnak temple, some locals were playing with light coming in by the upper hole.

Quite easy shot, but still spectacular !

Hi Guillaume,

if you say it's easy, I'll have to take your word for it but it is most definitely very effective and impressive! Love the light sifting through this man's hands and how his body is also lit up from the front. Congrats!

Interesting and beautiful.
It would have been better if the man was not looking at you, in my opinion.

Hi Guillaume,
An intersting image, that beam of light is lovely and the emptiness of the stone chamber is eerie.

Bonjour Guillaume
c'est une image superbe. Le rayon de lumi鑢e est parfait. Tu pourrais peut 阾re cadrer un peu plus serr�. L'image est techniquement parfaite au niveau de l'exposition

Hi Guillaume

indeed a spectacular image, I just think that the man could be watching his hands, not the photographer...
But this is a mere detail, the photo is realy awesome and you did the work perfectly !

Hello Guillaume,
I love this image - what an original idea. The light conditions are difficult and you have done very well. I was wondering whether a small crop off the bottom could be useful.
I have enjoyed viewing this image very much.
Regards, Ann

Hi Guillaume!
Suitable title for a very attractive picture!
I really miss a bit more of sharpness, but management of light, vertical format, chosen pov and composition compensate it all!
TFS - congrats,
Cheers,
Neyvan

Simply elegant! The light could have proved difficult but handled it well.
