Photos were shot with a Canon A2 and 28-105mm USM or 100-300mm USM lens and 25mm extension tube using Kodak 400 Gold film. If you go to the Egyptian Museum, bring fast film and a fast lens! Lighting is marginal at best and no flash or other additional lighting, or tripods are allowed. Wish I'd brought my 50mm f1.8 and some 1200 ASA... All these were shot freehand, which was rather difficult, and many interesting objects were just too dark to record... Please set your browser to 24 bit color for best viewing.
