Eid ul-Fitr, Eid al-Fitr, Id-ul-Fitr, or Id al-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr), often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting (sawm). Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity," while Fiṭr means "breaking the fast". The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan. The first day of Eid, therefore, falls on the first day of the month Shawwal.
Eid-ul-Fitr has a particular salah (Islamic prayer) consisting of two raka'ah (units) and generally offered in an open field or large hall called an Eed-gah.[1] It may only be performed in congregation (Jama’at) and has an additional extra six Takbirs (raising of the hands to the ears while saying Allah-u-Akbar [God is Great]), three of them in the beginning of the first raka'ah and three of them just before ruku' in the second raka'ah in the Hanafi school.[2] This Eid ul-Fitr salah is, depending on which juristic opinion is followed, Fard (obligatory), Mustahabb (strongly recommended, just short of obligatory) or mandoob (preferable).[1]
Muslims are commanded by God in the Qur'an to complete their fast until the last day of Ramadan[3] and pay the Zakat al-fitr before doing the Eid prayer.
Got to go on a catamaran on my weekend at the Big Island! I saw a whole bunch of whales (one swam right by the boat! But I missed it...), big manta rays, and swam with dolphins!
*My LC-Wide is the perfect partner and always keeps me company. I take her everywhere with me, on mountains, to the beach, and even underwater. She captures the best moments of my life and she'll be with me for many more to come. Thank you love!*
I tried out an tipster about confusing the light meter from my LC-W But it did not always worked out. Some images are nice and Some are to red-ish! But let me know what YOU think :)!!
Those lenses for APS-C digital SLRs will give amazing results on Full Frame film cameras. Pictures taken with Sigma 10-20mm or Pentax 18-55mm. The angle of view is amazing. Perspective distortion too!
This is one of my favorite lomographs. I saw that gorgeous blossoming bush, and I knew I had to have it immortalized on x-pro film! Although unusual, I find the result quite pleasant. The film was two years overdue and most of the photos are one or two stops overexposed.

with some more shots from spain, took a walk to cala san pedro. after no scanning and shooting for more than 3 month i hope i have more time again now...
This is one on my favorite photos. It was taken in Camden Town (London) when my friends came to visit me. I like it because it was a surprise. I didn't know I had taken a photo of the wall already (it was a mistake probably) but I love the result. My friend Rebeca looks like a graffitty painted in the wall
This beach is a paradise, the water is so clear.. Tried to shoot with Krab and LC-Wide ..this are the best shots out of 3 rolls. I´m very happy with the results!
