It's nice to remember that beautiful desert through your picture. I hope to come back there a try the three day camel walk between Petra and the Wadi Rum.

You captured a great light. Why did you not get your 5D with you ?

Well done, Bob.
I really like this golden landscape. A beautifully structured rock and a great composition.

Hello Bob -

Very nice in deed! The late afternoon warm light is very seductive. Your little P&S sure does a fine job with the details. I love this light, but to me I feel this is just a tad to much should be cooled just a bit. That is just a personal preference though. Well done!

Did you make to Petra? What about Cairo? My wife would be really interested.

Thank you for sharing.

HI Bob
Absolutely fabulous landscape, beautifully lit. The warm colours are really appealing and the composition interesting with the foreground rock.

Hello Bob,

How are you? This is a change from your images that boast water and reflection, here there is not a drop. This distinction is good, providing a unique image within your gallery. The subtle changes in light and hue between the FG and BG are delightful. I know exactly what you mean about the quietness; without car engines, the sound of wind rushing through trees or indeed birds singing you are left with an eerie, hollow void soundscape. I have experienced this in locations in Australia's outback. A well presented and noted image, well done.

Hello Bob,

Impressionnante et captivante couleurs ! J'aime beaucoup l'aspect épuré de cette image. Des couleurs et des rochers. Rien d'autre et pourtant l'oeil reste bloqué sur cette photographie. Le petit Powershot est capable de sortir de très belle image ! Bravo.

A+

Hi Bob,
Good to see you back. This is a very impressive start to your P&S series and I look forward to seeing more. I like the textures and movement of the foreground rocks, leading you towards the mountains in the background. The most striking thing though is the all-pervasive red/yellow colour of the landscape. Even the sky seems filled with red dust!
Fine results in spite of leaving your 5D at home.
Cheers
John

Well this is a famous name, from the days of Lawrence. Having read "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom" it is quite interesting for me to see this landscape. It's as beautiful and dramatic as I imagined it. Great lighting and I like the sense of depth you were able to create with this. Well done!

Fantastic landscape Bob, inspiring really, with those huge majestic formation across the valley, and just enough sandy haze in the air to give the shot a very natural feeling of depth.
Excellent. Hope you've got some more!
Regards

Hi Bob,
This is fantastic work especially since your were not using a DSLR (the G9 us arguably the finest of all the digicams...I don't blame you for traveling light in this harsh and remote area). Even with our digicams, our tripods are still indispensible. I use a nice little carbon fiber tripod when I travel with my Nikon Coolpix P-5000. You posted another outstanding and very underrated landscape! You are a master landscape photographer no matter what equipment that you use. Your technique is flawless!
