El Gouna, Egypt – Red Sea Sails, in partnership with the Red Sea Regattas, is thrilled to announce a series of sailing events that promise to transform the Red Sea into a bustling hub of sailing activity, showcasing the region's potential as a premier global sailing destination.

With the support of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and in collaboration with the El Gouna Sailing Club, Red Sea Sails is set to host the 3rd Edition of the ETA Cup from May 9-11, 2024. This event marks the beginning of a season filled with sailing competitions, community events, and environmental initiatives aimed at promoting the sport of sailing while contributing to the economic and ecological prosperity of the Red Sea region.

The upcoming El Gouna Sailing Festival and other scheduled events are more than just competitions; they are catalysts for economic growth. These events draw participants and spectators from around the world, significantly boosting local businesses and showcasing El Gouna and the Red Sea as prime destinations for tourism and sailing. The direct, indirect, and induced economic impacts of these events are profound, contributing to the vitality and sustainability of the local economy.

To differentiate that role from that of "key" modeling when a modeling source moves behind the object, it is typically called a "rim" or "accent" light. In portrait lighting, it also called a "hair" light because it is used to create the appearance of physical separation between the subject's head and background.

A typical studio lighting configuration will consist of a fill source to control shadow tone, a single frontal key light to create the highlight modeling clues on the front of the object facing the camera over the shadows the fill illuminates, one or more rim/accent lights to create separation between foreground and background, and one or more background lights to control the tone of the background and separation between it and the foreground.

There are two significant differences between natural lighting and artificial sources. One is the character of the fill and the other is a more rapid fall-off in intensity. In nature, skylight fill is omni-directional and usually brighter from above. That "wrap around" characteristic is difficult to duplicate with a directional artificial source.
