Photographer’s Note

- smal town | big town -

So we're stuck in a tourist town, with guys hustling us to make their daily living . . . and you can book these tours or lay on the beach and get fat and brown :)
So we went to the train station, and bought tickets (get there before 7:00!). The trains in Tunesia are good, people are kind and help you, the trains are clean and first class is good and cool.
I thought to take a taxi in El Jem to the amphitheatre, but already from the train I saw it was easy to find :) El Jem is a flat, rather small town. From the station, cross the square and take the left corner. Just follow the shops. What is good, is that El Jem is really a normal town. In Sousse, all normal shops have gone, and they all sell stuff you don't want . . . you don't need. Here in El Jem, the shops sell what the Tunisian people need.
After one last corner . . . this is what you see!
. . . Oh boy, you think, . . . hope the camera has enough battery power!!

PE2;
autolevels (let me know what you think of it!), crop, resize to 1250, unsharpmask (pixelsize 1,3), resize to 1000, unsharpmask (pixelsize 1,3), resize to 700, unsharpmask (pixelsize 1,3), added border and text.

About the post-processing;
! First time I used unsharp mask, and I feel it is much better than the sharpening tool, but it takes a long time to get the feel of what to do. Any advise is welcome!
Second; I used the auto levels here, and I have a feeling the picture is a bit too dark - but my screens are rather light, so I could do with some feedback here. I like the yellow on the shirt of the guy, it's bright and the amphitheatre also looks good, in the original the yellow was less . . .
