I don't see myself as a landscape photographer. Aside from the "I've been here" kind of photo, it's rare that I get myself to take a landscape shot.

Whenever I decide to do it, however, it's mostly to do some panorama picture, which is the closest you can get to actually being there.

In this case, it was neither. It was a shot of the Nile (not at a particularly good time, in the morning) done with a medium format TLR camera that I own.

What I love the most about medium format is the detail that you get in the negative. It never ceases to amaze me how much detail you can get. This is a good thing when you're doing landscape, but I like it as well for portraits.

Due a decision to never get portraits of people I know in this blog, I can't really show you what I mean, but the detail is amazing.

This photo was taken in Cairo, in the morning, with a old, beaten, russian medium format TLR.
