Workers from the Zakat House, affiliated with Al-Azhar Institution, prepare Iftar meals for Egyptian fasting people and Muslim communities in Cairo during today’s Iftar at Al-Azhar Mosque.

And it really is. We see many trends that occur only during Ramadan; no matter how one looks at it, it&rsquo;s full of kindness and nobility.
You see streets dress up with decorations for an entire month. People change due to fasting; Ramadan can be/feel different depending on where you live in the world as every country celebrates this holy month of Ramadan their way; the cultures and traditions vary from one place to another, but they all agree on one thing, that it is indeed Kareem.
Ramadan is the time of the year when day and night couldn&rsquo;t have more contrast.
Daytime in Ramadan is usually about quieter streets and shorter work hours. You see people everywhere reading the Quran or going to pray, and then gradually it gets busy and loud; it's 2 hours before Iftar, it dawns on people that it&rsquo;s almost over, they arerunning out of time to arrive somewhere or to prepare the Iftar food, short meaningless fights happen at homes and in the streets, and then all of a sudden it happens&hellip;
It&rsquo;s the prayer calling for Maghrib!
It all goes very quiet; the streets are almost empty, and it&rsquo;s all so serene and beautiful for about 15 minutes. Then, it&rsquo;s nighttime!
Tarawih is an essential part of Ramadan, People go to mosques and some of them make an event of it, going to the oldest mosque, the biggest mosque or, the mosque with a sheikh who has a great voice, or even a mosque that finishes quickly.
I can talk about Ramadan till next Ramadan, but I think it is best to see it from a perspective that adds life to words, which is Photography.
As it&rsquo;s becoming my favorite thing to do, meeting with photographers and bringing their side of the story. So, for this month, I met with a photographer who is also a nomad, partially archeologist, and a tour guide, among many other job titles... Sameh Mohamed.
Despite his young age, Sameh has done a lot and gained a very decent experience in photography in multiple genres varying from street photography to ancient monuments.
Let&rsquo;s get into it. Ramadan for photographers, is a golden chance to capture wonderful moments and amazing vibes that show the magic of Ramadan. &ldquo;Walking in Egypt is like a movie scene.&rdquo;
We got some insights on where to go in Ramadan for Iftar or Suhoor.
Each spot in Cairo has a totally different yet amazing vibe, such as downtown (the real one, not the one in tagamo3), Khan El Khalili, and Kurba. &nbsp;
For a photographer in such a themed month, almost everywhere you go is going to be crowded and loud, and this is exactly where the fun is. Among the chaos, there are always these moment that makes the whole day much easier and, in the end, worth it. One of those moments was when Sameh was working in the Matareya event (which needs a blog of its own)
At some point they close the street&rsquo;s entrances and exits, and Sameh wanted to take this shot from a certain spot, but it was out of the closed zone, so he was talking to the guy by the barricade to let him go out, but the guy wouldn&rsquo;t budge, so Sameh was telling him that the family living in that apartment invited him to shoot from their balcony, the guy then looked at the balcony only to realize this was his own house and his mom or sister was giving him the okay, and that smooth Sameh was able to go and get the shot he wanted and became good buddies with that guy as well.
So Ramadan is the month where good prevails and doors open with blessings everywhere. We&rsquo;ll talk more about Ramadan in our upcoming blogs, so stay tuned.

وهذا صحيح. نرى الكثير من الظواهر التي لا تظهر إلا في رمضان، مهما نظرنا إليها، فهي مليئة باللطف والنبل.
ترى الشوارع مُزينةً طوال شهر كامل. يتغير الناس بسبب الصيام؛ قد يختلف رمضان من مكان لآخر، فكل بلد يحتفل بشهر رمضان المبارك على طريقته الخاصة؛ تختلف الثقافات والتقاليد من مكان لآخر، لكنها جميعًا تتفق على شيء واحد، وهو أنه رمضان كريم.
رمضان هو الوقت من السنة الذي لا يمكن أن يكون فيه الليل والنهار أكثر تباينًا.
عادةً ما يكون نهار رمضان هادئًا في الشوارع وساعات عمل أقصر. ترى الناس في كل مكان يقرأون القرآن أو يذهبون للصلاة، ثم يزدحم المكان تدريجيًا ويزداد صخبًا. قبل ساعتين من الإفطار، يدرك الناس أن الوقت قد شارف على الانتهاء، وأن الوقت يضيق بهم للوصول إلى مكان ما أو لتحضير طعام الإفطار، وتحدث مشاجرات قصيرة لا معنى لها في المنازل والشوارع، ثم فجأةً يحدث...
إنها صلاة المغرب!
يسود هدوءٌ تام؛ الشوارع شبه خالية، ويسودها هدوءٌ وجمالٌ ساحرٌ لخمس عشرة دقيقة. ثمّ، يحل الليل!
صلاة التراويح جزء أساسي من رمضان، يذهب الناس إلى المساجد وبعضهم يجعل من ذلك حدثاً، يذهب إلى أقدم مسجد، أو أكبر مسجد، أو المسجد الذي يوجد به شيخ ذو صوت عظيم، أو حتى المسجد الذي ينتهي بسرعة.
أستطيع أن أتحدث عن رمضان حتى رمضان القادم، ولكن أعتقد أن الأفضل أن ننظر إليه من منظور يضيف الحياة إلى الكلمات، وهو التصوير الفوتوغرافي.
بما أن لقاء المصورين وسرد قصصهم أصبح من هواياتي المفضلة، فقد التقيت هذا الشهر بمصور فوتوغرافي، وهو أيضًا رحالة، وعالم آثار، ومرشد سياحي، بالإضافة إلى العديد من المهن الأخرى... سامح محمد.
على الرغم من صغر سنه، إلا أن سامح أنجز الكثير واكتسب خبرة جيدة جدًا في التصوير الفوتوغرافي في أنواع متعددة تتراوح من تصوير الشوارع إلى المعالم الأثرية القديمة.
لنبدأ، رمضان للمصورين فرصة ذهبية لالتقاط لحظات رائعة وأجواء مميزة تعكس سحر رمضان. "المشي في مصر أشبه بمشهد سينمائي".
حصلنا على بعض الأفكار حول الأماكن التي يمكن أن نذهب إليها في رمضان لتناول الإفطار أو السحور.
كل مكان في القاهرة له أجواء مختلفة تمامًا ومذهلة، مثل وسط المدينة (الحقيقي، وليس الموجود في التجمع الخامس)، وخان الخليلي، والكوربة.
بالنسبة لمصور في شهرٍ ذي طابعٍ خاص، ستجد نفسك في كل مكان تقريبًا مكتظًا بالناس، وهنا يكمن السرور. وسط هذه الفوضى، هناك دائمًا لحظاتٌ تُسهّل يومك، وتجعله يستحق العناء في النهاية. إحدى تلك اللحظات كانت عندما كان سامح يعمل في فعالية المطرية (التي تحتاج إلى مدونة خاصة بها).
في مرحلة ما، أغلقوا مداخل ومخارج الشارع، وأراد سامح أن يلتقط هذه اللقطة من مكان معين، لكنها كانت خارج المنطقة المغلقة، لذلك كان يتحدث إلى الرجل عند الحاجز ليسمح له بالخروج، لكن الرجل لم يتزحزح، لذلك كان سامح يخبره أن العائلة التي تعيش في تلك الشقة دعته للتصوير من شرفتهم، ثم نظر الرجل إلى الشرفة فقط ليدرك أن هذا هو منزله وأن والدته أو أخته كانت تعطيه الموافقة، وأن سامح السلس كان قادرًا على الذهاب والحصول على اللقطة التي يريدها وأصبح صديقًا جيدًا لذلك الرجل أيضًا.
رمضان شهر الخير، وأبواب البركات مفتوحة في كل مكان. سنتحدث أكثر عن رمضان في تدويناتنا القادمة، فتابعونا.

Ramadan Kareem

رمضان كريم

Judging it aside&mdash;whether it's good or bad&mdash;what is it exactly, and how can it be utilized? These are the real questions.&nbsp;&nbsp;
When man first discovered fire, it was a problem. Then, with knowledge and curiosity, man was able to harness its real power.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;So, What Is AI Really?&nbsp;&nbsp;
In short, it's a tool that originated from the calculator (really). It runs calculations a lot faster and much more efficiently, not only using numbers but also words and even images. That&rsquo;s what makes it a very important tool in so many fields of life nowadays.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;AI and Utilization&nbsp;&nbsp;
Depending on the field you are in, there is a place for AI to help&mdash;whether in automating mundane tasks, creating a marketing campaign, or even managing projects. But since we are all about photos and photographers, we must know more...&nbsp;&nbsp;
We had to ask the experts so we could come closer to a clearer idea of what we call AI.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Naturally, we spoke with someone who has a strong tech background and is one of the smartest people I personally know. He is also the CTO of the TMF family, a tech consultant, and an AI/software project manager: Moath Musa.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Moath had great insights about AI, and they go as follows&hellip;&nbsp;&nbsp;
"AI is a great tool that can help in many fields of life and business. It can advance productivity by up to 70%, while the remaining 30% depends on the human factor. However, reaching this 70% efficiency requires educated and informed requests. The more one understands exactly how to craft and use proper prompts and keywords when dealing with AI, the more efficient the results can be. So, it&rsquo;s about integrating the human factor with the technological solutions provided by AI".&nbsp;&nbsp;
Lastly, Moath added that editorial pictures can never be replaced by generative AI, as they capture live events, and each photo is unique. However, when it comes to commercial photos, AI can be a great help.&nbsp;&nbsp;
That&rsquo;s the tech part of it. For the artistic part, it was crucial to meet with a photographer with extensive experience&mdash;one who specializes in restoring ancient artifacts and buildings in Egypt: Mr. Hesham Tawheed.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Hesham shed light on the artistry of photography in the age of AI, explaining that the differences between a professional photographer and a beginner fade with AI.&nbsp;&nbsp;
"For example, if a client wanted to hire a professional photographer to ensure high-quality images and pay X amount of money, that same client could now hire a beginner and get similar quality images with the help of AI for 1/4 X. However, without the experience of a professional photographer, the results may vary, as AI still depends on the prompts and keywords used as input. A talented photographer with a clear vision will always achieve better results. Moreover, AI cannot replace real photography, especially when it comes to monuments and ancient artifacts. A machine won't be able to capture the imperfections caused by erosion, which add value to the photo and reflect the actual history of such monuments or artifacts. The same applies to Arabic calligraphy, where each style refers to a different era&mdash;something essential for those seeking authenticity in such images".&nbsp;&nbsp;
Now that we&rsquo;ve covered all this, we must ask: Is AI a good thing or a bad thing? Or, more importantly, is there a silver lining that can guide us through this duality of good and bad?&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;

بغض النظر عن كونه جيدًا أو سيئًا، السؤال الحقيقي هو: ما هو الذكاء الاصطناعي تحديداً؟ وكيف يجب أن نستخدمه؟ عندما اكتشف الإنسان النار لأول مرة، كانت تمثل مشكلة. ولكن مع المعرفة والفضول، تمكن من تسخير قوتها الحقيقية.&nbsp;&nbsp;
إذن، ما هو الذكاء الاصطناعي حقًا؟&nbsp;&nbsp;
ببساطة، هو أداة نشأت من الآلة الحاسبة (نعم، حقًا!). فهو ينفذ العمليات الحسابية بسرعة وكفاءة أعلى بكثير، وليس فقط بالأرقام، بل أيضًا بالكلمات وحتى الصور. وهذا ما يجعله أداة بالغة الأهمية في العديد من المجالات اليوم.&nbsp;&nbsp;
الذكاء الاصطناعي و الاستخدامات الممكنة&nbsp;&nbsp;
بغض النظر عن مجالك، هناك دائمًا مكانٌ للذكاء الاصطناعي ليساعدك سواء في تشغيل المهام الروتينية بشكل اوتوماتيكي، أو إنشاء الحملات التسويقية، أو حتى إدارة المشاريع. ولكن بما أننا في The Middle Frame نركز على التصوير الفوتوغرافي، فمن الضروري أن نفهم دور الذكاء الاصطناعي في هذا المجال...&nbsp;&nbsp;
لذا، كان لا بد من التحدث مع الخبراء للوصول إلى فهم أوضح لما نسميه اليوم الذكاء الاصطناعي. تحدثنا مع شخص يمتلك خلفية تقنية قوية، وأحد أذكى الأشخاص الذين أعرفهم شخصيًا. إنه أيضًا الرئيس التقني لعائلة TMF، ومستشار تقني، ومدير مشاريع برمجية وذكاء اصطناعي: معاذ موسى.&nbsp;&nbsp;
قدّم معاذ رؤى قيّمة حول الذكاء الاصطناعي، وقال ما يلي:&nbsp;&nbsp;
"الذكاء الاصطناعي أداة قوية يمكن أن تساعد في العديد من المجالات الحياتية والتجارية. حيث يمكنه أن يعزز الإنتاجية بنسبة تصل إلى 70%، بينما تبقى 30% الأخرى معتمدة على العنصر البشري. ومع ذلك، فإن تحقيق هذا المستوى من الكفاءة يتطلب مدخلات دقيقة ومدروسة. كلما فهم المستخدم كيفية صياغة التوجيهات الصحيحة واستخدام الكلمات المفتاحية المناسبة عند التعامل مع الذكاء الاصطناعي، كانت النتائج أكثر كفاءة. لذلك، فإن الأمر يتعلق بتكامل الذكاء البشري مع الحلول التقنية التي يوفرها الذكاء الاصطناعي".&nbsp;&nbsp;
أضاف معاذ نقطة مهمة أيضًا:&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;الصور التحريرية لا يمكن استبدالها بالذكاء الاصطناعي التوليدي، لأنها توثق أحداثًا حقيقية، وكل صورة منها فريدة من نوعها،&nbsp;أما الصور التجارية، فيمكن للذكاء الاصطناعي أن يكون مساعدًا رائعًا في إنشائها بكفاءة وسرعة أكبر.&nbsp;&nbsp;
هذا كان الجانب التقني، أما من الناحية الفنية، فكان من الضروري مقابلة مصور يمتلك خبرة واسعة في المجال، ومتخصص في ترميم وتوثيق الآثار والمباني التاريخية في مصر، الأستاذ هشام توحيد.&nbsp;&nbsp;
أوضح هشام نقطة مهمة جدًا، "الذكاء الاصطناعي يطمس الفجوة بين المصورين المحترفين والمبتدئين، على سبيل المثال، إذا كان العميل بحاجة إلى مصور محترف لضمان الحصول على صور عالية الجودة مقابل مبلغ X، فإنه اليوم يمكنه توظيف مصور مبتدئ والحصول على صور بجودة مماثلة بمساعدة الذكاء الاصطناعي مقابل 1/4 X.&nbsp;&nbsp;لكن دون خبرة المصور المحترف، قد تتفاوت النتائج، لأن الذكاء الاصطناعي لا يزال يعتمد على جودة التوجيهات المدخلة، فالمصور الموهوب، صاحب الرؤية الإبداعية، سيظل قادرًا على تحقيق نتائج أعلى وأدق".&nbsp;&nbsp;
إضافةً إلى ذلك، "لا يمكن للذكاء الاصطناعي استبدال التصوير الفوتوغرافي الحقيقي، خاصة عندما يتعلق الأمر بـتوثيق الآثار والمعالم التاريخية. حيث أن الآلة لن تكون قادرة على التقاط العيوب والتأثيرات الناتجة عن عوامل التعرية وهي تفاصيل تضيف قيمة تاريخية وأصالة إلى الصورة، ينطبق الأمر نفسه على الخط العربي المنقوش على الجدران، حيث تعكس كل كتابة نمطًا وزمنًا مختلفًا، مما يجعل الأصالة البصرية عنصرًا لا يمكن استبداله".&nbsp;&nbsp;
أين يكمن الحل؟&nbsp;&nbsp;
الآن، وبعد كل ما سبق، يبقى السؤال:&nbsp;&nbsp;
هل الذكاء الاصطناعي شيء جيد أم سيئ؟&nbsp; أو، الأكثر أهمية: هل هناك طريق وسط يساعدنا على تحقيق التوازن بين الجانبين؟&nbsp;

Okay, Let's Talk About AI

حسنًا، لنتحدث عن الذكاء الاصطناعي

News photography is a unique and powerful form of storytelling that captures the raw essence of life&rsquo;s most significant moments. Whether it&rsquo;s the chaos of a natural disaster, the intensity of political protests, or quiet human connections amid crisis, photojournalists hold a mirror up to the world, revealing truths that words often struggle to convey. A well-captured image can evoke deep emotions, spark conversations, and sometimes even change the course of history. Think of iconic images like the migrant child&rsquo;s face peering out from behind a fence or the resilience of communities after disasters. These moments, frozen in time, remind us of our shared humanity and the fragility of life. <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.themiddleframe.com/static-assets/c300ffd4-c340-4835-a400-3d73816461b7.jpg" alt="" width="618" height="412" />
Photojournalists, however, face immense challenges. It&rsquo;s not just about being in the right place at the right time&mdash;it&rsquo;s about being brave enough to go where most wouldn&rsquo;t. From conflict zones to disaster areas, they put themselves in harm&rsquo;s way to ensure the world doesn&rsquo;t turn a blind eye. Yet, their job isn&rsquo;t just physical; it&rsquo;s deeply ethical. Balancing the need to inform with the respect and dignity of their subjects is a constant struggle. Questions about whether to publish certain images often arise: Does it help the public understand, or does it exploit suffering? These are not easy decisions, but they define the integrity of the profession. <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.themiddleframe.com/static-assets/4c5cfb86-ef94-4a52-98fe-5af0460d1d70.jpeg" alt="" width="653" height="436" />
In today&rsquo;s digital era, the role of news photography continues to evolve. With smartphones and social media, images flood our screens daily, blurring the lines between professional photojournalism and citizen reporting. While anyone can take a picture, it takes a trained eye to capture a story with depth and nuance. Professionals bring not only technical expertise but also an understanding of context and narrative. Their images aren&rsquo;t just snapshots&mdash;they&rsquo;re carefully composed pieces that speak volumes.
Despite technological advancements like drones and AI-assisted editing, the essence of photojournalism remains unchanged: capturing the truth. These tools might offer new ways to see the world, but the heart of the craft still lies in human connection and the pursuit of honest storytelling. As long as there are stories to tell and injustices to expose, news photography will remain a vital part of how we understand our world.

التصوير الصحفي هو شكل فريد وقوي من أشكال السرد الذي يلتقط الجوهر الخام للحظات الأكثر أهمية في الحياة. سواء كان الأمر يتعلق بفوضى الكوارث الطبيعية، أو شدة الاحتجاجات السياسية، أو الروابط الإنسانية الهادئة وسط الأزمات، فإن المصورين الصحفيين يعكسون الواقع، كاشفين عن حقائق قد تعجز الكلمات عن إيصالها. صورة واحدة يمكنها أن تثير مشاعر عميقة، وتفتح نقاشات، وأحيانًا تغير مسار التاريخ. تأمل في الصور الأيقونية مثل وجه الطفل المهاجر خلف السياج، أو صمود المجتمعات بعد الكوارث. هذه اللحظات، المجمدة في الزمن، تذكرنا بإنسانيتنا المشتركة وهشاشة الحياة. <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.themiddleframe.com/static-assets/c300ffd4-c340-4835-a400-3d73816461b7.jpg" alt="" width="618" height="412" />
يواجه المصورون الصحفيون تحديات هائلة. الأمر لا يتعلق فقط بوجودهم في المكان المناسب في الوقت المناسب، بل بشجاعتهم للذهاب إلى حيث لا يجرؤ الكثيرون. من مناطق الصراع إلى مواقع الكوارث، يعرضون أنفسهم للخطر لضمان أن العالم لا يغض الطرف. ومع ذلك، فإن عملهم ليس جسديًا فحسب؛ بل هو أخلاقي بعمق. موازنة الحاجة إلى الإعلام مع احترام كرامة الأشخاص المصوَّرين هي صراع دائم. وغالبًا ما تُطرح أسئلة حول نشر صور معينة: هل تساعد الجمهور على الفهم، أم أنها تستغل المعاناة؟ هذه القرارات ليست سهلة، لكنها تحدد نزاهة المهنة. <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.themiddleframe.com/static-assets/4c5cfb86-ef94-4a52-98fe-5af0460d1d70.jpeg" alt="" width="653" height="436" />
في العصر الرقمي اليوم، يستمر دور التصوير الصحفي في التطور. مع انتشار الهواتف الذكية ووسائل التواصل الاجتماعي، تمتلئ شاشاتنا يوميًا بالصور، مما يطمس الخطوط الفاصلة بين الصحافة الاحترافية والتقارير المدنية. رغم أن أي شخص يمكنه التقاط صورة، إلا أن العين المدربة فقط يمكنها أن تلتقط قصة بعمق ودقة. المحترفون لا يقدمون الخبرة التقنية فقط، بل أيضًا فهمًا للسياق والسرد. صورهم ليست مجرد لقطات؛ إنها قطع مدروسة بعناية تتحدث بصوت عالٍ.
على الرغم من التقدم التكنولوجي مثل الطائرات بدون طيار وتحرير الصور بمساعدة الذكاء الاصطناعي، فإن جوهر التصوير الصحفي يظل كما هو: التقاط الحقيقة. قد توفر هذه الأدوات طرقًا جديدة لرؤية العالم، لكن قلب الحرفة لا يزال يكمن في التواصل البشري والسعي وراء السرد الصادق. طالما هناك قصص يجب روايتها وظلم يجب كشفه، سيبقى التصوير الصحفي جزءًا أساسيًا من فهمنا للعالم.

Geese are aquatic birds that belong to the Anatidae family. They include the genera of grey geese (Anser), black geese (Branta), and white geese (Chen). Some other birds, mostly related to the genus Alopochen (Egyptian goose), are also associated. The goose genus is considered the most distinct among the members of the Anatidae family, with most species being larger than true geese and ducks, which are generally smaller.
