Photo of the Month: January 2023

Lots of competition this month with some super stuff from my trip to Jordan. Petra itself delivered multiple good shots but my pick for this month is this shot of the Roman ruins in Jerash. It’s taken from the north end of the site with Hadrian’s Arch in the distance. In the foreground is the Temple of Artemis with the Forum immediately behind it. The Temple of Zeus is on the right in the middle distance. The photo was taken early in the evening which gave the stones the golden hour glow.

This photograph was taken with my Sony A7 III, 125th and f8.0 with ISO125. The zoom was set at 61mm. There’s been some post processing to bring out the glow and to add a little more definition to the hills behind and the sky.
