i know that this is a common shot but what is nice is the new feature in the canon G10 the ND filter so when u use the max F number F8 the shutter will be 1 second but if u turn the ND filter on then the shutter will drop to 13 seconds which give you a great slow motion shot

and about this place

Mecca IPA: /ˈmɛkə/, also spelled Makkah IPA: [ˈmækə], Arabic: مكة‎ Makka (in full: Makka al-Mukarrama IPA: [(Arabic) mækːæ(t) ælmʊkarˑamæ]; Arabic: مكّة المكرمة‎, literally: Honored Mecca) is a city in Saudi Arabia. Home to the Masjid al-Haram, it is the holiest city in Islam and plays an important role in the faith. As of 2008 the annual Hajj pilgrimage attracts two to three million pilgrims to the city,[1][2] and presents both opportunities for the city’s economy, and challenges for its infrastructure. Culturally, the city is modern, cosmopolitan and ethnically diverse.[3][4][5][6]

Islamic tradition attributes the beginning of Mecca to Ishmael’s descendants. In the 7th century, the Islamic prophet Muhammad proclaimed Islam in the city, by then an important trading center, and the city played an important role in the early history of Islam. After 966, Mecca was led by local sharifs, until 1924, when it came under the rule of the Saudis.[7] In its modern period, Mecca has seen a great expansion in size and infrastructure.

The modern day city is located in and is the capital of Saudi Arabia’s Makkah Province, in the historic Hejaz region. With a population of 1,700,000 (2008), the city is located 73 km (45 mi) inland from Jeddah, in a narrow valley, and 277 m (910 ft) above sea level.

اعرف ان الصورة عادية ومألوفة ولكن الجيد في الصورة هو استخدام الميزة الجديدة في الكاميرا
G10
وهي فلتر الان دي
تخيل معاي عند استخدام اكبر فتحة وهي 8 يصير الشتر ثانية واحدة ولكن عند تشغيل ميزة فلتر
ND
يصير الشتر عندك 13 ثانية
ياسلام شي حلو
كان في هوا يحرك الخام للكعبة اثر شوي على الحدة وكذلك لما تصور في مكان ممنوع شوي يصير شغلك سريع

بالتوفيق للجميع
