Saudi Arabia, advice please!
I can't miss the opportunity to use whatever free time i have to explore the city, surroundings, and photograph the country.
I've been making quite a fair amount of research regarding photography in S.A., which is actually not very appreciated.
The question is, since i'll be shooting mainly film, do you have any life experience in al Khobar? is it possible to buy film and develop it there? ...

March 3, 1994: The tongue, as usual, is out of the mouth, as Michael Jordan drops a fly ball hit to him during Chicago White Sox’s intrasquad game at Sarasota, Fla. This game was Jordan’s first after retiring from the NBA and trying out for the Chicago White Sox baseball team.
The next day, Los Angeles Times staff writer Maryann Hudson reported on Jordan’s first game:
Had this been the debut of any other minor league player, it would have passed unremembered. Most would try to forget.

Hi everyone,
I'm going on a group trip to Israel in January and I don't want to miss out on an opportunity to capture some great images, so I've decided to bring some of my equipment. This will include my 50D, a Tamron 17-50mm f2.8, an 85mm f1.8, and a polarizer for the 17-50mm. Taking my tripod would be a hassel, so I'll probably just take a Gorillapod. With this equipment, what are some techniques I can implement for landscape photos?
Thanks!
P.S. - General tips would also be appreciated. Going to Israel, would appreciate tips for landscape shots
