During the period 24/04 – 01/05 I went on a small vacation to Turkey. My main point of interest was to take some cool HDR photos of different structures as well as under various weather/lighting conditions.
All in all it was a very pleasant experience.

All photos were created from 3 bracketed (+2) shots taken with a Nikon D5000 and a 18-55mm VR lens. HDRs created with Photomatix Pro 3.

P.S. if you would like to use any of these photos please contact me, maybe I could provide a RAW / unaltered version of the images.

In January 2010 I had the opportunity to take a quick 7-days vacation.
Destination: Hurghada, Egypt.
Hotel: Imperial Shams Abu Soma Resort 5* Hotel (Safaga).

I have already posted some HDR Photos of Imperial Shams Hotel, now it is time to post photos from the trip itself.

And as you cannot visit Egypt and not see the Pyramids, we had an excursion to Giza (Cairo) and took some photos of the Great Pyramid of Giza (of Kheops/Cheops), Pyramid of Khafre, The Great Sphinx, Mastabas, etc. If only the locals didn’t bother us as much as they did, the trip would have been MUCH more enjoyable.

Cairo itself is a very chaotic place, traffic is infernal! Do I want to visit it again? No, that’s for sure.
