Got this off the highway of Ras Al Khaimah while on the way back to Dubai. I first notice the great sky and I saw this pair of tracks and decided to include both of them on my frame 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20mm Settings: f9.0 | 1/10 | ISO 100 Post process: 3 exposures blended using DRI Dodging and burning Adjusted vibrance and saturation Have a nice day to everyone! /Mike
These cloud formations are really rare in Dubai. I saw them on my way home and I just had to pull over and get a snap of them. Clouds add a lot of depth and character to an image, too bad we don’t have a lot of them here. Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Settings: f5.0 | 1/120 | ISO 250 Post process: Blended 3 exposures using DRI Adjusted exposure using curves Added a vignette Great day everyone! […]
I have to admit that this was a test shot, I was trying to check if my sensor has dust on it… Forgot that I was using a fisheye =) Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10mm f2.8 Settings: f22 | 1/50 | ISO 100 Post process: Adjusted some curves settings TGIF! /Mike
This is pretty much what I carry everyday. I got this new crumpler bag named: “Little Stevie” to carry my iPad 3G+Wifi 64G, Lumix LX3, my Canon 7D with a wide angle lens (either Tokina 11-16 f2.8 or my fisheye 10mm f2.8), 50mm f1.8, cleaning cloth, blower, card reader, extra battery, extra CF cards and a LED flash light. I am starting to see the benefits of iPad in terms of photography; I think as soon as the Operating System […]
When the iPad came out, I wasn’t planning on getting one, because my first impression was… it’s just a big iPhone 😀 That was until I tried one, hold it with my hands and browse with it… Day after that, I ordered it from Ebay =) Steve Jobs said that the iPad is a 3rd category device, it sits in between a smart phone and a laptop. I didn’t get that until I started using the iPad and as day […]
There is something about this place… Makes me think how it was before. I can’t find any documented article about this abandoned place in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, as to how it was before, anyway, this is how it looks today. Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20mm Settings: f9.0 | 1/15 | ISO 100 Post process: Combined 3 exposures (DRI’d) Dodging and burning Selective curves adjustments Added Vibrance and a light vignette See yah! /Mike

Sunsets are really amazing, it gives so much color and depth to any photograph. Using my trusty LX3 on this one 🙂 Gear: Lumix LX3 Settings: f2.8 | 1/400 | ISO 100 Post process: Dodging and burning Adjusted tones using curves Adjusted vibrance and saturation TGI Friday! /Mike
Taken from Jumeriah beach during noon time. Weather is becoming unbearable during day time, I guess I have to go back to strobist mode 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Settings: f14.0 | 1/250 | ISO 100 Post process: Adjusted Contrast using curves and that’s about it Cheers! /Mike
This hotel has been photographed so many times. Everyone who went to Dubai will sure have a picture of the Burj Al Arab. I wanted it to have a more surreal look, thus post processed accordingly.
