Deion: Petra, Jordon

In November 2019 I traveled with friends to the Middle East; Egypt, Jordon and Israel. While in Jordon we visited Petra. It was a 1.5 mile walk down a 6 percent grade in a canyon with steep walls. The first building we saw is the one I have selected to show you. When you first see this building it is from a canyon with steep sides, so your first image of Petra is tall cliffs on both sides with this building between the cliffs. Very quickly you enter the canyon with lots of buildings. We spent a couple of hours walking and viewing the various buildings that had been carved in the walls. No cars are allowed in the canyon, except VIP’s.

I processed in Photomatix Pro 6.
Adjustments were Realistic, Strength 55, Tone Compression 0, Luminance 2.4, White Clip 6.2, Black Clip 4.3. Saturation 2.3, Temperature 0.0, Brightness -.07 and Opacity 9.

I finished processing in Photoshop with Dodging and Burning.
