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.

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.

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
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 […]
