3.06 - "Solid" 

We were at the end of the day in exploring Petra, stopping by for a last few photos just outside of the slit canyon when we met two Bedouin guys that work in the site who invited us for shisha which we took up. Was very interesting talking to them, really friendly, kind people who wanted nothing but just a bit of a chat. Getting towards late in the evening when out of the blue a bit of a sand storm blew in. Hastily said our goodbyes and run into the slit canyon and made our way past the Treasury on the way to the exit when stopped for a few photos.

The photo was taken already in the dark. The storm picked up a lot of dust giving a bit of a murky quality. Photo was taken without a tripod on Nikon D750 with me pressed up against the other side of the wall with 20s exposure squeezing the camera against some outcrop and holding my breath. My wife was wearing a headlight which can be seen in the photo.

Cannot remember all of the processing done but some light streaks have been editted out on the ground from some nearby lights and the headlight light was a little bit pulled out in the edit to make it more apparent.

Great trip and a fond memory of Petra and Jordan some years ago.
