It was during my first visit to Egypt that we hopped on some camels in order to visit the pyramids in proper fashion. After an hour or so of humping around the Sahara from pyramid to pyramid and the sphinx, we headed back through the open sands. Another group was passing through right under the setting sun. I knew this would be a great shot, but I only had seconds to grab it until the caravan went too far, and trying to take pictures while the camel below you is lurching back and forth was quite difficult! I only got 2 frames, and this is my favorite shot from that camel journey.
Taken 1km from the pyramids in Cairo - Egypt.
Awesome moment captured!!
Thanks! Yeah it was quite difficult, as anyone who has ridden a camel knows how much they lumber back and forth, its hard to stay stable on their back :)
I know exactly what you mean. I explored the pyramids on camel back aswell was very hard to get a good shot.
What an experience! Great entry.
