365 Project : Day 152

Al Hamra Fort in Ras Al Khaimah is really a good place to chill.  The place is rather old compare to the new beach resorts in RAK, but I guess it has its own charms… Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10mm f2.8 Settings: f4.5 | 1/25 | ISO 100 Post process: DRI from 3 exposures Dodging and burning Applied curves settings to adjust contrast Cheers! /Mike

365 Project : Day 151

Taken during sunset at Al Hamra Fort.  It’s getting harder and harder to shoot recently.  Everytime I take the camera out, it fogs really quickly and not only its going to ruin your shot, but also the camera and lens as well.  But, what can I do, I can’t stop humidity and wait till the sunset is over 🙁  Anyway, just sharing. Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10mm f2.8 Settings: f8.0 | 1/25 | ISO 100 Post process: Digital blending […]

I was trying to capture the sunset and I was a bit disappointed with the sky due to the lack of clouds and suddenly I saw this girl watching the sunset.

365 Project : Day 143

I’ve always wanted to know how it looks underwater; It intrigues me; I wanted to know what is happening to that place I can’t see.  It’s good that with the help of a camera, I can see what’s below the surface.  I used my point and shoot camera with this one, Lumix LX3 with underwater casing.   This is my first underwater shot 🙂 Gear:  Lumix LX3 Settings:  f4.5 | 1/800 | ISO 400 Post processing: Adjusted contrast Dodging and burning […]
