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.

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.

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
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!

Trying out textures again with one of my favorite places to shoot, the abandoned village in Ras Al Khaimah.

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) […]
