I am getting a traditional Moroccan henna just before my wedding to a Moroccan man in Safi, Morocco.

Even going on tours, there is time for mint tea. I just love my mint tea.

This is one of the oldest mosques in Rabat, Morocco.

The old fortress is on the cliffs of Safi on the Atlantic coast, with the churning waters below and in the background is the city of Safi, Morocco.

Behind The Lens

Location

In a friend's backyard

Time

Early afternoon

Lighting

no...it was just daylight and it at the perfect angle.

Equipment

I just used my Olympus Tough Camera, no special lenses or other special features

Inspiration

I saw it land in her tree and just had to capture it. They are not easy birds to get still pictures of close up.

Editing

I did not do any special effects or editing on this photo.

In my camera bag

I just have my Olympus and my cell phone. I would one day like to get a nice DSL camera with lots of lenses.

Feedback

Just always have a camera with you and be patient....and make sure you have your proper settings for what you want to capture.
