Description
I'm back baby!Got got back from a scanning session at college and managed to get a nice amount of pictures.
This picture was shot in the old city of Jarash in Jordan in the Eastern Temple. The inscriptions date back to the early beginnings of modern Roman civilization in this region. Gorgeous place that you all should check out.
Camera: Nikon F80
Film: Fuji Provia 100F Slide Film
Lens: Nikkor 50mm @ f/2
P.S: The right side of the image has some scratch marks which I've chosen not to remove because I feel they add something to the picture. My opinion. You might not like it. Tough.
Editing:
Contrast +22
Color Balance: Red +10
Unsharp Mask: 50/1/1

Anceint colors. Very wonderful!
The Greek texts always make me wonder, because they are now dominating our world of mathematics.
So what is written on the wall?

this is very nice joe, but i have a feeling that if u moved the focus a tiny bit to the right of the pic so the focus starts from the beginning of the encription it would have been more powerful
my 2 cents..

Ah. Very nice, Joe. I love how warm it looks. Makes me feel like it's some sort of playdough that goes into the wall if you press on it. Lol.

I didn't notice the scratch marks until you pointed them out. Very nice shot indeed! Do you think it would look better if you cropped out the pillars from the right

I tried that, but it takes away from the depth of the picture.
Glad you like it.
