Arabic Style Photo

Photographer’s Note

Typical Arabic Cafe in the middle of Al Madinah (Medina in Tunis).
The Medina, or old quarter, of Tunis was built during the seventh century AD. From the 12th to the 16th centuries, Tunis was considered to be one of the greatest and wealthiest cities of the Islamic world and its Medina is testimony to its former grandeur. Today, visitors can step back in time through the maze of narrow, winding streets and barter for souvenirs with the locals; goods on sale include colorful hand-made carpets, hand-crafted jewelery, copper and brassware, pottery and exotic spices.
The Medina of Tunis has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.

There's also a WS with some details

Good morning Snezana,
nice the general view of this Arabic cafe,under difficult lighting conditions.The sense that you found somewhere different from the usual cafes is visible.I think that the management of the light in the WS is much better that this one.

Have a nice afternoon,Danos

Hello Snezana,
good photo, interesting details in the "original" version and in the WS photo, too! Concerning the colour gamma.. It is best to take photos of such scenes, with such lighting, when using a tungsten filter (if possible), otherwise they look very warm/orange... (unless it was such a warm light originally in the cafe!)
Anyway, regardless of colour gamma, I like the atmosphere which you captured in this cafe :) I will hardly ever go to Tunisia, so it is interesting to see such photos :)
best regards,
Elena

Zdravo Snežo,

valjda boje ne mogu da budu toplije nego kod tebe. Samo što ne curi sve sa ove slike. I mene ogrejalo u ovom decembru. Pohvale za tebe, inače nije prvi put.

Hello Snezana, very nice capture and difficult one due to the low light conditions, beautiful warm colors and great POV with nice perspective given by the seats. Thanks for sharing.
Happy holidays to you too,
Kostas.
