Immediately following the Eid prayer at al-Azhar, almost half the jamaat got up and left. It was a giant mob rushing for the doors.
This photo though is after the khutba, when the second mob of Muslims left the main prayer hall. I wanted to try and capture the motion and speed by which people were leaving, and was able to contrast it with this one man praying.
And if you look closely on the right of the frame, there's an eerie face lurking (Looks like Davy Jones).... I'll try not to think about it though because it gives me the creeps.
1 second shutter, handheld... not that bad for handheld!
