Egypt is one of the most well known countries on the planet, and contains a large number of historical and archaeological sites that are visited by tourists every year. While the country has changed since the time of the Pharaohs, with the capital moving from Thebes/Luxor to Cairo, much of the culture has been retained, with foreign influences from Greece due to Alexander the Great, and other influences from globalization and modernization. Egypt’s population is primarily concentrated around the Nile and the coast, but has population spread throughout the country, and there is a strong contrast between both desert and life, as well as ancient and modern: Rocky Desert BY Marco Ramos Ras Muhammad National Park By Roberto Melotti Sunrise Worker By M.

Blur is one of the most important aspects of photography. If you blur your subject, your photo probably won’t look very good. But if everything is sharp in your image, you might not have a good depth of field. And for objects in motion, blur can be essential to show it. Blur occurs when an object is not in focus, either due to motion, or due to being too close or too far away from the focal point to be captured in detail. In this post, we’ll look at some of the various ways and effects that can be created with blur in photography: On the edge By Tomasz Dlubacz Colour Burst!

Creating a handwritten effect can be painstaking though. Too much of a handwritten touch, and it feels unprofessional and even messy. But too robotic, and it seems like a CG font. There are lots of great resources that can be used though, without creating your own. Here’s some great hand-drawn fonts for designers.
