Visiting a 2.250 year old ancient Egyptian temple today, I took a couple of images of two local guardians posing in their traditional garments for the passing photographer. Wich one do you like best? Leave your preference in the comments below. For the other images continue after the jump….

While touring ancient Egypt for ten days, we visited an ancient Egyptian temple in the city of Edfu, located on the west bank of the Nile between Luxor and Aswan. The temple, built about 220 b.c. and dedicated to the falcon god Horus, is considered one of the best-preserved temples in the entire country. Light shafts were falling into the interior of the temple, illuminating the hieroglyphs on the wall as well as the guardians posing for the visiting photographer.

I’d really like to know which of the four black&white versions you prefer, so please comment below.

Taken with my Nikon Zf and the Nikkor Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR, image specs 1/500 sec @f/6.3 and ISO 6400, 45mm focal length.

Have a great Saturday
