Took this shot an hour ago; I’m posting this from Al Hamra Village in Ras Al Khaimah. This is not my cleanest post processing since I am editing this while lying in bed with and without any mouse 🙁 Anyways, I tried 🙂 This is my ride, FJ Cruiser. 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
This was taken at Golden Tulip Hotel. Like my previous post, I was not feeling well last night so I am posting 2 pictures today. Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Settings: f2.8 | 1/800 | ISO 100 Post processing: Enhanced the sky to give the clouds more drama Dodging and burning Adjusted hue and saturation Vignette Cheers! /Mike
Taken from Ras Al Khaimah, this looks to be an old butcher house. 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! It’s weekend! /Mike
Trying out textures again with one of my favorite places to shoot, the abandoned village in Ras Al Khaimah. Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20mm Settings: f8.0 | 1/15 | ISO 100 Post process: Combined 3 exposures (DRI) Dodging and burning Applied some perspective correction and crop the image Applied the rough texture Applied the broken texture Applied sharpening What d’ya know, weekend is coming! /Mike
This is how the Madinat Jumeirah Souk looks like at night. Lots of people hanging out, walking around and just relaxing. Didn’t have any tripod so I have to hand hold the camera with a high ISO, but the big aperture of the Tokina (f2.8) really helps and even at f2.8, this lens is sharp 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Settings: f2.8 | 0.5 | ISO 1,000 Post processing: Combined 3 exposures manually using digital blending (DRI) […]
