Yesterday I excavated all my Egypt photo albums from the loft. These were all scanned from conventional print photographs taken on my old Canon EOS5 non-digital SLR in 2002. So I'll have a look, Kat, and see if I have any other pictures of the scene. I'll email them over to you if I do.
None of these images have actually been altered in image editing software, although I am always quite happy to do so if the image can be improved to make it more useful. On this occasion I was just lucky to have good light at a good angle, and I had a good quality lens on the Canon.
I've bought a good digital SLR since then (another Canon), so life is somewhat easier. It takes a silly amount of time to digitize prints!
Sorry Kat! Not so heroic after all. I've been through the photo album concerned and this is the only photograph I took of this scene. I was in Egypt for three weeks, mostly in places I had never visitied previously, and by the time we got to Luxor for the last couple of days I was having to ration my film. Digital allows a lot more self indulgence! It is such a stiking image, however, that it may be possible to track it down elsewhere - I'll see what I've got in books etc at home.
This blog was set up in 2004 to aggregate news about Egyptology and related topics from online sources on a regular basis. It was closed finally in September 2013 due to other commitments. It has been left open as an archive, but comments have been disabled.
Kindest regards to all Andie andie {at} oddthing.co.uk

Hi Andie,
Do you have any other photos showing more of the last scene? It's beautiful! Thank you!
