This is my nice Chloe, she’s almost two years old a week from now. We went to Al Hamra Resort in Ras Al Khaimah, I used my point & shoot Lumix LX3 with underwater casing for this shot. It’s cool to capture HD videos of underwater too 🙂 Gear: Lumix LX3 Settings: f2.0 | 1/2000 | ISO 80 Post processing: Adjusted contrast Added vignette Dodging and burning Weekend ends today… 🙁 Looking forward for the next 🙂 /Mike
Took this shot an hour ago; I’m posting this from Al Hamra Village in Ras Al Khaimah.

Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Settings: f6.3 | 60 secs | ISO 200 Post processing: Dodging and burning Added a vignette Cheers! /Mike
I wish I could tell you what’s up with these two but… I really don’t know. All I can tell is that, they look Korean, that’s it. Anyway, I think this couple adds the story in this picture. Gear: Canon 7D + Tamron 18-270mm VC Settings: f11 | 1/100 | ISO 500 Post processing: Dodging and burning Adjusted contrast Have a nice weekend everyone! /Mike
I have a lot of sunset shots, but this is not one of them. This was taken at sunrise, during the golden hour; it doesn’t really last an hour, it lasted probably around 10 minutes. Gear: Canon 7 D + Sigma 10-20mm Settings: f8.0 | 1/160 | ISO 100 Post process: Digital blending of 2 exposures (DRI) A little bit of dodging and burning Weekend tomorrow, woooh! /Mike
Here’s another shot from a different angle of the newest mall in Dubai, Mirdif City Center. I saw this lady with her 2 kids posing so I took the shot as well, this is one of my test shots that turned out well 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Settings: 7.1 | 1/500 | ISO 100 Post process: Stacked and merged in Photoshop CS5 Tonemapped in Photomatix Cleaned in Photoshop CS5 Dodging and burning Colorized the sky to […]
Found this group of birds hanging out at the lake, took this one using my Tamron 18-270mm VC at 270mm. Somehow these birds looks like they are watching the sunset 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Tamron 18-270mm VC Settings: f8.0 | 1/500 | ISO 125 Post process: Applied some “cross-processing” look using photoshop channel mixer and color balance Adjusted curves Applied vignette Take care y’all! /Mike

I was not feeling well last night so I have to post this only today. Anyway, the good thing about these ants is that, they don’t move so quickly and they stop every now and then, giving me opportunity to take a decent shot 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Tamron 90mm f2.8 Settings: f3.5 | 1/125 | ISO 250 Post processing: Adjusted contrast Dodging and burning Applied a square crop and added vignette Cheers! /Mike

The place is quite smelly so I had to shoot as fast as I can without breathing… the joy of photography 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20mm Settings: f9.0 | 1/15 | ISO 200 Post process: Blended 2 exposures using DRI technique Dodging and burning Adjusted hue and saturation Added vignette Have a nice weekend 🙂 /Mike
Taken from Dubai Internet City. There’s a lot more to this place, I just need to find more time and go to some other areas. Anyway, this will do for now 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Settings: f5.0 | 1/20 | ISO 125 Post process: Blended 3 exposures manually (DRI) Dodging and burning Adjusted hue and saturation Added vignette Wohooo!
