Jeweler in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt

There’s a group of kids that walk around this street selling bracelets and necklaces to tourists. They have a technique were they’ll go to a group and give them a free gift. The rest will then follow and ambush the tourists, and usually sell a few items because it’s hard turning down a mob of cute children.

I actually have a video of two of the kids fighting over a sale, but I haven’t figured out how to convert for an upload yet.

Shop owner’s pet. The only living thing in the square not trying to sell you something.

Here’s another .jpg!

This is in Naama Bay in Sharm el-Sheikh. There’s a guy at this convenience store that keeps talking to me in Russian whenever I walk in, even though I keep telling him I don’t know a lick of it. (Probably along the lines of “LOL DUMBASS AMERICAN”). There’s belly dancing and fire waving and all sorts of tourist magnets at the top floor bar. It’s also ‘free’ until you’re trapped into buying overpriced drinks.

This is with the Zeiss 25mm Biogon. This was 1/125, ISO 100, and can’t remember the damn f-stop. You’re shooting ‘without a lens’ if using adapters on the Nex. There’s a slight vignette at this length but I haven’t been able to play with the RAW yet.
