Love & Friendship Arabic Coaster
1 Sep
Continuing on my daily photo project. Unfortunately I left my tripod at the office and decided to get a bit creative with a photo for today.
This is a coaster which we purchased from a crafts store in Cairo (Korba district). The image was shot on a kitchen counter-top in total darkness over a very long exposure. I used a torch to paint some light over to bring out the wood. Final touch up in photoshop involved cropping and overlaying a duplicate layer (screen blend)
Technical details: F/8 at 13seconds. ISO 100 & 47mm focal length
If reading Arabic calligraphy is tricky, the text reads Hubb wa Mawaddah (Love & Friendship)
