ellie robb - in answering your question, I have a Canon PRO90 IS, at the turn of a small dial I can switch from colour to B+W in an instant!

Thanks for excellent photos, I am sorry you don't like riding a camel! I loved galloping around the Pyramids on one, they can go faster than horses! But plodding along, is not so interesting. Loved the shots of desert patterns! Hated the poor dead sheep's head! Ugh! How do you get your camera to take color photos, then shift to black &white?

Very Nice!!!
I've been there, Dades, Merzouga, etc... I took the same picture of the "Hairpins". Stunning, wasn't it? I really enjoy your picture of the dead animal's head... Thanks for sharing!!!
