Smoke. How to make with Photoshop الدخان وكيفيه تنفيذه بالفوتوشوب

Smoke is a colloid and comprises a collection of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases emitted when a material undergoes combustion [ the process of burning] or pyrolysis [ is a thermo-chemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen ,occurs under pressure and high temperature] ,together with the quantity of air.

 It is commonly an unwanted by-product of fires (including stoves, candles, oil lamps, and fireplaces).It is also caused by smoking, and ,cooking. Smoke is sometimes used as a flavoring agent, and preservative for various foodstuffs.












 Smoke inhalation is the primary cause of death in victims of indoor fires. The smoke kills by a combination of thermal damage, poisoning and pulmonary irritation caused by carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide and other combustion products.



Smoke particles are an aerosol of solid particles and liquid droplets ,a smoke cloud does not obstruct an image, but thoroughly scrambles it.

The composition of smoke depends on the nature of the burning fuel and the conditions of combustion.

Visible and invisible particles of combustion 
Depending on particle size, smoke can be visible or invisible to the naked eye.Smoke from a typical house fire contains hundreds of different chemicals and fumes. As a result, the damage caused by the smoke can often exceed that caused by the actual heat of the fire.

Dangers of smoke   
Many compounds of smoke from fires are highly toxic and/or irritating. The most dangerous is carbon monoxide leading to carbon monoxide poisoning. 
Cigarette smoke is a major modifiable risk factor for lung disease, heart disease, and many cancers.


  



















الدخان
 هو عبارة عن جزيئات صغيرة جداً تنتقل عبر الهواء، وتكون إما صلبة أو سائلة أو غازية. وتخرج عند تعرض المادة لعملية احتراق أو تبخر او تفاعلات اخرى ولونه يكون رمادي أو أبيض أو اسود أو بلا لون وهو من الرغويات وأحيانا قد يسبب شم الدخان الاختناق 
     الدخان هو من نواتج الاحتراق الغير مرغوب بها 
وينتج الدخان من الحرائق التى تحدث فى اماكن عديده ومن المصانع وهناك الدخان الذى ينتج عن التفاعلات الكيميائيه و الادويه والتدخين و كذلك الطهى واسباب اخرى عديده 
وتكمن خطوره الدخان فى انه يسبب الاختناق فى كثير من الاحيان وكذلك التسمم فى احيان اخرى بسبب بعض نواتج الاحتراق مثل اول و ثانى اكسيد الكربون 
ويسبب الدخان عدم وضوح الرؤيه وليس انعدامها تماما و يعتمد هذا على حجم الجزيئات الناتجه عن الاحتراق و عددها 
وقانا الله جميعا شر الحرائق و الدخان 
I had tried to draw smoke with photo-shop to use different tools and ways which is new today in
that post. I had selected two different colors for the smoke .

Petra Of Jordan البترا الاردنيه

Petra is considered the most famous and gorgeous site in Jordan located about 262 km south of Amman and 133 km north of Aqaba. It is the legacy of the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled in southern Jordan more than 2000 years ago. 
It is a vast, unique city, carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled here more than 2000 years ago, turning it into an important junction for the silk, spice and other trade routes that linked China, India and southern Arabia with Egypt, Syria, Greece and Rome.


Petra meaning rock is a historical city in the Jordanian governorate of Ma'an that is known for its rock cut architecture and water conduits system. Established sometime around the 6th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataeans, it is a symbol of Jordan as well as its most visited tourism attraction. It lies on the slope of Mount Hor in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba.Petra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage.Petra is known as the Rose-Red City for the color of the rocks in which Petra is carved .

Petra sights are at their best in early morning and late afternoon, when the sun warms the multicolored stones, you can view the majesty of Petra as it was seen first when discovered in 1812 after being lost by the 16th century for almost 300 years! 


Its History 
Evidence suggests that settlements had begun in and around Petra in the eighteenth dynasty of Egypt (1550-1292 BC). It is listed in Egyptian campaign accounts and the Amarna letters .

You can find there Roman-style theatre, which could seat 3,000 people. There are obelisks, temples, sacrificial altars and colonnaded streets, and high above, overlooking the valley, is the impressive Ad-Deir Monastery – a flight of 800 rock cut steps takes you there.

Within the site there are also two excellent museums; the Petra Archaeological Museum, and the Petra Nabataean Museum both of which represent finds from excavations in the Petra region and an insight into Petra's colourful past.

 

البتراء او المدينه الورديه 
 البتراء وكذلك تسمى سلع، مدينة تاريخية تقع في الأردن جنوب البلاد 225 كم جنوب العاصمة عمّان إلى الغرب من الطريق الرئيسي الذي يصل بين العاصمة عمّان ومدينة العقبة 
تعتبر البتراء من أهم المواقع الأثرية في الأردن وفي العالم لعدم وجود مثيل لها في العالم مؤخرا فازت بالمركز الثاني في المسابقة العالمية لعجائب الدنيا السبع وهي عبارة عن مدينة كاملة منحوته في الصخر الوردي اللون ومن هنا جاء اسم بترا وتعني باللغه اليونانية الصخر
 بناها الأنباط في العام 400 قبل الميلاد وجعلوا منها عاصمة لهم  وعلى مقربة من المدينة يوجد جبل هارون الذي يعتقد أنه يضم قبر النبي هارون عليه السلام والينابيع السبعة التي ضرب موسى بعصاه الصخر فتفجرت. واختيرت البتراء بتاريخ7/7/2007 كواحدة من عجائب الدنيا السبع الجديدة

   تاريخ البتراء

كانت البتراء عاصمة لدولة الأنباط وأهم مدن مملكتهم التي دامت ما بين 400 ق م وحتى 106 م، وقد امتدت حدودها من ساحل عسقلان في فلسطين غربا وحتى صحراء بلاد الشام شرقا.و من شمال دمشق وحتى البحر الاحمر جنوبا, شكل موقع البتراء المتوسط بين حضارات بلاد ما بين النهرين وبلاد الشام والجزيرة العربية ومصر أهمية أقتصادية فقد أمسكت دولة الأنباط بزمام التجارة بين حضارات هذه المناطق وسكانها وكانت القوافل التجارية تصل إليها محملة بالتوابل والبهارات من جنوب الجزيرة العربية والحرير من غزة ودمشق والحناء من عسقلان والزجاجيات من صور وصيدا واللؤلؤ من الخليج العربي.
نهاية دولة الأنباط كان على يد الرومان عندما حاصروها ومنعوا عنها مصادر المياه سنة 105 وأسموها الولاية العربية. وفي سنة 636 أصبحت البتراء تعيش على من تبقى من سكانها على الزراعة لكن الزلزال الذي أصابها سنة 746/748 وزلازل أخرى أفرغتها من أهله

Solar eclipse. How to make with Photoshop كسوف الشمس و كيفية تنفيذه بالفوتوشوب

As seen from the Earth [ Earth (or the Earth) is the third planet from the Sun and the densest and fifth-largest of the eight planets in the Solar System.], a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and the Moon [The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite and the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System.]fully or partially covers the Sun as viewed from a location on Earth. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth. At least two, and up to five, solar eclipses occur each year.

The original picture 

The photo shop picture


The last total solar eclipse was the solar eclipse of July 11, 2010; the next will be the solar eclipse of November 13, 2012.

A total solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon. Nevertheless, in ancient times, and in some cultures today, solar eclipses have been attributed to supernatural causes or regarded as bad omens [ An omen is a phenomenon that is believed to foretell the future]. A total solar eclipse can be frightening to people who are unaware of their astronomical explanation, as the Sun seems to disappear during the day and the sky darkens in a matter of minutes. 


Types of Solar eclipse 
There are four types of solar eclipses:
  1. A total eclipse ,occurs when the dark shadow of the Moon completely obscures the  bright disk of the Sun,allowing the much fainter solar corona to be visible. [ A corona is a type of plasma "atmosphere" of the Sun , extending millions of kilometers into space .The Greek root of the word corona means crown.]
  2. An annular eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun. Hence the Sun appears as a very bright ring, or annulus, surrounding the outline of the Moon. 
  3. A hybrid eclipse (also called annular/total eclipse) shifts between a total and annular eclipse. At some points on the surface of the Earth it appears as a total eclipse, whereas at others it appears as annular. Hybrid eclipses are comparatively rare. 
  4. A partial eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are not exactly in line and the Moon only partially obscures the Sun.
Viewing the Sun during partial and annular eclipses requires special eye protection, or indirect viewing methods, to block the harmful part of the Sun's radiation to protect the eyes from being damaged.

Sunglasses do not make viewing the sun safe. Only properly designed and certified solar filters should be used for direct viewing of the Sun's disk.

The safest way to view the Sun's disk is by indirect projection. This can be done by projecting an image of the disk onto a white piece of paper or card using a pair of binoculars (with one of the lenses covered), a telescope, or another piece of cardboard with a small hole in it (about 1 mm diameter), often called a pinhole camera.

Thutmose III تحتمس الثالث

Thutmose III that means Thoth is born .He was the sixth Pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty.

He was co-regent with his stepmother, Hatshepsut
He became the pharaoh of the kingdom after her death [ Hatshepsut was the fifth pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty of Ancient Egypt ,and was named the pharaoh. ] He created the largest empire Egypt had ever seen,he conquered from Niya in north Syria to the fourth waterfall of the Nile in Nubia. Thutmose III ruled Egypt for almost fifty-four years, this includes the twenty-two years he was co-regent to Hatshepsut his stepmother and aunt. During the final two years of his reign, he appointed his son-and successor-Amenhotep II, as his junior co-regent. When Thutmose III died, he was buried in the Valley of the Kings as were the rest of the kings from this period in Egypt.

 His Family
Thutmose III was the son of Thutmose II by a secondary wife, Iset [ Iset or Isis she was named after goddess Isis].His father's great royal wife was Queen Hatshepsut. Her daughter Neferure was Thutmose's half-sister. 
When Thutmose II died Thutmose III was too young to rule, so Hatshepsut became his regent, soon his coregent, and shortly thereafter, she declared herself to be the pharaoh while never denying kinship to young Thutmose III.

His wives 
  • Satiah: She may have been the mother of his firstborn son, Amenemhat.
  • Merytre-Hatshepsut. His successor, the crown prince and future king Amenhotep II, was the son of Merytre-Hatshepsut.
  • Nebtu: she is depicted on a pillar in Thutmose III's tomb.
  • Menwi, Merti, Menhet three foreign wives.
Thutmose III was a great builder pharaoh and constructed over fifty temples,some of these are now lost and only mentioned in written records.

Death and burial  
He died after ruling Egypt for 53 years, 10 months, and 26 days .He was buried in the Valley of the Kings.

Mummy  
Thutmose III's mummy was discovered in the Deir el-Bahri Cache above the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut in 1881.The height of Thutmose III's mummy to be 1.615m (5 ft. 3.58in.),and the feet were absent .

تحتمس الثالث
 الفرعون الأسطورة.. سادس فراعنة الأسرة الثامنة عشر، ويعتبر أعظم حكام مصر وأحد أقوى الاباطرة في التاريخ 

اسماء الفرعون
اسم الولادة :  دى جو تى مس
اسم التتويج :من خبر رع
اسم الحورس :  الثور القوي 
ملك الوجهين بحري وقبلي : يدوم الملك 
 الاسم الذهبي  : ذو الهيئة المقدسه

براعه تحتمس العسكرية 
كان تحتمس الثالث يتمتع بسمات شخصية خارقة وعبقرية عسكرية ليس لها مثيل تدرب تحتمس في ساحات المعارك في الاقصر.. وقد اكسبته هذه التدريبات صلابة في شخصيته وخبرات عسكرية عظيمة، وتظهر لنا تماثيل تحتمس الثالث هذا الشاب المفتول العضلات وقد امتلك ميزات جعلته ملكا محاربا أسطوريا قام بستة عشرة حملة عسكرية على آسيا (منطقة سورية وفلسطين) استطاع ان يثبت نفوذه هناك كما ثبت نفوذ مصر حتى بلاد النوبة جنوبا، وقد كان امير مدينة قادش في سوريا يتزعم حلفا من امراء البلاد الأسيوية في الشام ضد مصر وصل عددهم إلى ثلاثة وعشرين جيشا وكان من المتوقع أن يدعم تحتمس الثالث دفاعاته وقواته على الحدود المصرية قرب سيناء إلا أن تحتمس قرر الذهاب بجيوشه الضخمة لمواجهة هذه الجيوش في اراضيهم ضمن خطة توسيع الامبراطورية المصرية إلى أقصى حدود ممكنة وهزيمة هذه الجيوش مجتمعة.
درب تحتمس الجنود على أفضل التدريبات وقسم جيشه إلى قلب وجناحين واستخدم تكتيكات عسكرية ومناورات لم تكن معروفة من قبل وبنى القلاع والحصون

 

براعته السياسية 
استدعى تحتمس الثالث أبناء أمراء الأقاليم الأسيوية إلى طيبة عاصمة مصر في ذلك الوقت، ليتعلموا في مدارسها العادات والتقاليد المصرية ويثقفهم بالثقافة المصرية، ويغرس في نفوسهم حب مصر، حتى إذا عادوا إلى بلادهم وتولوا الحكم فيها أصبحوا من اتباعه المخلصين وبالتأكيد لا يمكن التفكير في الحرب على مصر، ويشكك بعض المؤرخين ان هذا هو فرعون خروج  بنى اسرائيل من مصر 

اعماله المعمارية 
بنى تحتمس الثالث في طيبة العديد من المعابد منها معبدين أحدهما بجانب معبد حتشبسوت في الدير البحري، كما قام ببناء البوابتان العملاقة السادسة والسابعة وقاعة الاحتفالات في معبد الكرنك وأكمل بناء معبد حابو الذي بدأته حتشبسوت وله العديد من الانشاءات فى اماكن اخرى منها ايضا ما لا يقل عن سبع مسلات معظمها موجود الآن في عدد من عواصم العالم منها المسلة الموجودة في لندن  

الفرعون الامبراطور 
أقام تحتمس الثالث أقدم امبراطورية في التاريخ وهي أقصى حدود لمصر في تاريخها حيث وصلت حدود مصر إلى نهر الفرات و سوريا شرقا وإلى ليبيا غربا وإلى سواحل فينيقيا وقبرص شمالاو إلى منابع النيل جنوبا حتى الجندل الرابع أو الشلال الرابع وكانت الإدارة في عهده قوية من ذوى الكفاءات العالية حيث اعطى تحتمس كل إقليم حكما ذاتيا تابعا للعرش نظرا لاتساع الامبراطورية واختلاف الاجناس وتباين الاعراف والقوانين من منطقة لأخرى 
  
موته و مقبرته 
مات تحتمس وعمره 82 سنة بعد أن حكم أربعة وخمسين عاما .ولم يعرف تاريخ مصر ملكا بكى عليه المصريون وحزنوا عليه حزنا شديدا مثل ما حدث مع تحتمس الثالث، وبعد وفاته أقيمت مراسم الحداد والدفن الملكية تبعه فيها كل المصريين وهي أضخم جنازة في التاريخ القديم ودفن في مقبرة بوادي الملوك كان قد أعدها لنفسه 

من أشهر مقولاته لوزيره الشهير رخمى رع "لا يرضى الرب بالتحيز(الفساد)، كن يقظا فمنصب الوزير عماد الأرض كلها فليس للوزير أن يستعبد الناس، استمع للشاكى من الجنوب والدلتا أو أى بقعة.. تصرف بالعدل فالمحاباة يمقتها الرب.. كن عادلا مع من تعرفه ومن لا تعرفه 

That is a very short summery of the life story of that grate king .
I had designed that background and add the photo of the king to it .That background was designed with photo shop using filters only and some other sinple tools .

Some uses of filters and how to use for designing the background.

Cairo - Egypt القاهره المصريه

Cairo, and the area around it are considered to be the heart of Egypt.

Cairo is the Egyptian capital.The meaning of the name is" The Vanquisher" or "The Conqueror".
It is the capital of Egypt, the largest city in Africa and the 16th most populous metropolitan area in the world[ The first city is Tokyo of Japan ]. 


Cairo is also ranked as one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Nicknamed "The City of a Thousand Minarets"[ Minarets are distinctive architectural features of Islamic mosques- generally tall spires with onion-shaped or conical crowns, usually either free standing or taller than any associated support structure; the basic form includes a base, shaft, and gallery. Styles vary regionally and by period. They provide a visual focal point and are used for the call to prayer ] for its preponderance of Islamic architecture, Cairo has long been a centre of the region's political and cultural life.  
The city's original name in Arabic is "Al-Qahira", which became "Cairo" after Europeans corrupted the name. Egyptians today often refer to Cairo as Maṣr, the Arabic pronunciation of the name for Egypt itself.

Cairo has the oldest and largest film and music industries in the Arab World, as well as the world's second-oldest institution of higher learning, al-Azhar University[ is an educational institute in Cairo, Egypt. Founded in 970~972 as a madrasa, it is the chief centre of Arabic literature and Sunni Islamic learning in the world. It is the oldest degree-granting university in Egypt after Cairo University. In 1961 non-religious subjects were added to its curriculum.]. Many international media, businesses, and organizations have regional headquarters in the city, and the Arab League has had its headquarters in Cairo for most of its existence.Cairo is by far the largest city in Egypt.

Its Geography and location
Cairo is located in northern Egypt, known as Lower Egypt, 165 kilometers (100 mi) south of the Mediterranean Sea and 120 kilometers (75 mi) west of the Gulf of Suez and Suez Canal.The city is along the Nile River, immediately south of the point where the river leaves its desert-bound valley and branches into the low-lying Nile Delta region.

  • Gates to the Ancient City of Cairo: Cairo was called the citadel or tabia or forte, i.e. stronghold. It looked like a square; 1200m2 in length and 1100m2 in width. It was surrounded with El Bahr El Azeim (the great sea) from the east, the gulf from the west, from the north gardens extended to Mataria and the mount Gabal El Guishi from the south.


    When the Fatimid reign (969-1171) settled in Cairo under the leadership of El Moez Li-Dinellah it was called "Cairo of El Moez" because they decorated its four suburbs with luxurious buildings, delightful spots and gardens. This increased its delightfulness and beauty. It was the settlement of rulers and princes.


    El Fostat city was big and important due to plenty of buildings, many people and much of livelihood means, that is why Gawhar El Sakaly was so keen on it. He established the fortified gates (bab) and installed them around it in the four-sided wall. He built El Kantara at Bab El Shairia Street. He also built a wall to quickly surround the Palace. But this was destroyed completely.

    Purposes of the gates
Those gates did not only defend the country against enemies, but were built also for management and administrative purposes. No one was allowed to enter Cairo or stay there except for its residents, or those who go in for certain reasonsand in daytime only. 
There are many gates like , Bab El Barkia 1st gate ,Bab El Barkia 2nd gate ,El Bab El Gadid, Bab Zuweila,Bab El Wazir,Bab El Nasr, and many other gates[ Bab mean gate in Arabic ]

Sharm el-Sheikh شرم الشيخ

Sharm el-Sheikh is one of the most popular tourist places in the Arab world. But there are also some very good reasons to visit it if you are not the common tourist, who likes to lie on the beach all day. It is one of the finest diving spots in the world and a trip into the desert is an unforgettable adventure. 


Sharm el-Sheikh is a city situated on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, in South Sinai Governorate, Egypt, on the coastal strip along the Red Sea. Its population is approximately 35,000 (2008). It is popular with package holiday makers and divers.

Sharm el-Sheikh is sometimes called the "City of Peace", referring to the large number of international peace conferences that have been held there.It is also transliterated as Sharm ash- Shaykh and popularly known simply as "Sharm".It means bay of the Sheikh.

 Its History and Geography 
Sharm el-Sheikh is on a promontory overlooking the Straits of Tiran at the mouth of the Gulf of Aqaba
About 40 years ago, Sharm el-Sheikh was nothing but a small fishing village with about 100 Bedouin citizens,but its strategic importance led to its transformation from a fishing village into a major port .
Sharm el-Sheikh city has been subdivided into five homogeneous centers, namely Nabq, Ras Nusrani, Naama Bay, Umm Sid and Sharm El Maya[ Na'ama Bay part of the city is the center of nightlife and dining: most of Sharm's clubs, cafes, restaurants and shops are here].There is also an airport in Sharm el-Sheikh. Sharm el-Sheikh Airport is the largest in the Sinai, and receives plane-loads of charter tourists daily in the winter high season. The only airline for local flights is Egypt Air .
The land plan shows that the total area of Sharm el-Sheikh is expected to be about 42 square kilometres by the year 2017.



 During the 2011 Egyptian protests, President Hosni Mubarak reportedly went to Sharm el-Sheikh and resigned there on 11 February 2011.

The average temperatures during the winter months (November to March) range from 15 to 35 degrees Celsius (59-95°F) and during the summer months (April to October) from 20 to 45 degrees Celsius (68-113°F). The temperature of the Red Sea in this region ranges from 21 to 28 degrees Celsius (70-84°F) over the course of the year.

Sharm el-Sheikh's major industry is foreign and domestic tourism, owing to its dramatic landscape, year-round dry and temperate climate and long stretches of natural beaches. Its waters are clear and calm for most of the year and have become popular for various watersports, particularly recreational scuba diving and snorkeling which some consider to be among the best in the world.There is great scope for scientific tourism with diversity in marine life species; 250 different coral reefs and 1000 species of fish.

Diving
Diving is the main activity in Sharm el-Sheikh. When you dive into the warm water of the Red Sea and leave the remote desert behind, you will enter a world full of life and colors.
