How to photograph<br />
THE EGYPTIAN<br />
PYRAMIDS<br />
Seif Amr (@seifamro) tells us<br />
how to capture the scale and<br />
tell a story<br />
Set up before sunrise<br />
Arriving early not only means<br />
you get the best lighting, but<br />
also gives you ample time to<br />
set up your shot before the<br />
crowds descend.<br />
Find the perfect spot<br />
Stroll around until you reach a<br />
point where all three pyramids<br />
align – it's key to achieving the<br />
wow factor. I suggest making<br />
a beeline for the Panoramic<br />
view of the Pyramids, an<br />
elevated spot that boasts<br />
stunning 360-degree views of<br />
the surrounding landscape.<br />
Know your lenses<br />
When capturing a shot from<br />
a distance, I recommend<br />
using a narrow lens like the<br />
(70-200mm) to increase the<br />
depth of field and get the<br />
whole scene in focus. This<br />
way, your photo stands out.<br />
Add a human element<br />
If possible, take some<br />
companions along for the<br />
ride. One of the most striking<br />
features of the pyramids is<br />
their enormity, and adding<br />
people into the frame helps<br />
to convey their grand scale.<br />
