Sufi Dancer, Naama Bay, Egypt

This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features

Whirling atop a café overlooking Naama Bay's pedestrian boulevard in Egypt, a tambourine-shaking Sufi dancer seeks to approach the divine—and attract diners. Despite the threat of terrorist attacks, Sinai's open arms and modern aspirations will persist, as long as the tourists keep coming.

Long Exposures

When making long exposures, use a remote release to avoid camera movement. If you don't have a remote release, use the camera's self-timer.
