An Evening Near Some Pyramids by Ernest R. Ashton, 1897
Photographed by Ernest Ashton, this shot of the pyramids was taken while the sun set in beautiful Egypt. Not only does it show how stunning the Middle East is, but it also shows how great Ashton’s eye is for finding shots of contrasting light and shadow. To remind you, this picture was taken long before digital photographs and Photoshop were created, which makes it that more amazing.
The photographer was able to capture such a shot by waiting for the exact second the sun dipped behind the clouds, thereby avoiding damaging the lens from the harsh light. As great as the picture is, it’s only five by seven inches.
