Dadès Valley

A little north-east of the southern city of Quarzazate, lies the Dadès Valley - stretching out between the peaks of the High Atlas and the Jbel Sarhro mountain range. Known as 'The Valley of One Thousand Kasbahs', it is the most prominent of the oasis valleys that dominate southern Morocco. Originating from melt water high up in the snowfields of the Haute Atlas, the river Dadès cuts a steep gorge, known as the Dadès Gorge, at Aït Oudinar and Aït Ali. From here, it flows across the broad Dadès Valley in a south-westerly direction towards Quarzazate.

Traditionally, the people of this region lived in a large number of small Kasbah settlements scattered across the fertile river plain. In recent years, however, they have been leaving the valley and been congregating in larger villages along the valley's edge, leaving only a few Kasbah to be populated and maintained in perfect condition.

Nice view Tsilla - good colour and interest.

I do think the picture could be sharper. Your exposure is 1/800 at f3.2 - I would opt for a slower shutter speed and smaller aperture to get a sharper image with a deeper DOF. First thing is to take the camera out of 'automatic' mode and then learn how to adjust the aperture/shutter manually and you'll have greater control over the shots.

That said I do like this image a lot and the black frame compliments the scene very well.

Cheers
David
