This is a sneeky shot of one of the guys I have been traveling with.
We left Marrakech to travel to a hotel high up in the Atlas mountains this morning
it was 45 degrees when we left. it is now cold and very wet. Just like blighty...

I have lifted this image straight off the camera so sorry if it's a little large.
I used the lowest quality my camera had available to try and keep it small.
It is also the first time I have used the B/W feature on the camera :)

typing this has been difficult as the keyboard is in Arabic....

I wish I had access to an editing program and could just tweek the contrast.
but then the program would probably also be in Arabic

Another image from today

Canon EOS 5D
1/50s f/4.0 at 105.0mm iso500 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Well done, great photo. By the way, the computer at my office has an Arabic keyboard as well, it drives me nuts!!! :)

You rise to the challenge wherever you are.
Well done.

I don't think the contrast needs anything with the light in his face.
An excellent candid.
