I have always played with this setup in my head; I had a lot of other versions… Probably I will have to explore those some other day. But today, this is the one I wanted to share. I wanted to take this picture with the sun up at the window but when I set up my equipments and started doing some test shots, it was too late. Anyway, I think without the ambient light will do just fine for this […]
Today, nothing fancy… These are water meters. I found them right in front my apartment’s door. It looks very interesting but, somehow with the lighting available, it looks a little flat, that’s why I popped my 2 speedlites, put blue gels on both of them and took some frames. This particular frame is the one I like best. Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 Settings: f6.3 | 1/30 | ISO 200 Strobist info: 430EXII + blue gel @ 1/16 580EXII […]
On my way home, I saw that the cherry picker was on a different location and it was lowered 🙂 So I decided to give it a go! There is something with this cherry picker… could be the color; I like blue… hmm (blanked out!) It’s getting warm in Dubai lately… And the clouds are starting to disappear. Anyway, my 365 continues 🙂 How I took it: Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 + tripod Settings: f9.0 | 60 secs. […]
Today was the toughest day so far… just nothing coming out. No ideas, no nothing. It’s 1 hour left before day 35 starts… Then this idea kicked in. Saved by the bell 🙂 This is my Tokina 11-16 f2.8 lens, so far this is what I carry everyday with my 7D (and my 50mm f1.8mm). This is the first time I introduced a new element on my photo… smoke 🙂 And no, this is not cigarette smoke, simply because I […]
This is my brother’s guitar 🙂 I always wanted to shoot this but I just can’t visualize it, a few minutes ago, the vision came… and it looks a lot like that 🙂 I received a lot of encouraging messages from my flickr acount and here on my blog; I really really appreciate those who dropped by and sent me a message to give out their support, that means a lot to me, I just wanted to thank you all! […]
Today was one of those days again… crunch time 🙂 Scratching my head ’till 10pm until this idea came up, wanted to give credit to my assistant for chirping a few ideas here and there and for holding the water source (the shower) for me. Indeed a great help. Would have been difficult to do this on my own. I have something different on my head but this came out pretty interesting so I guess I’m going with it 😀 […]
They say, everything has a face if you stare at it long enough. Well in this case, you don’t have to stare too long to notice the faces on the matches as they burned. Finally! I have finished one month of my 365 🙂 I took a picture every single day for the entire month… I’m giving my self a pat at the back 🙂 So far I am really happy with all the images I took for this month. […]
I am posting this right now from Golden Tulip Beach Resort here in Abu Dhabi. I found this just right beside the hotel, the houses on the left are for the employees of the hotel and about the yachts… that one I don’t have any idea. It was pretty dark here so I was forced to shoot this at ISO 200. It’s a nice hotel, it is quite cozy in here. Nonetheless a great place to relax and unwind, far […]
So there I was, again being lazy… Looking around the house for something that might be interesting to shoot, then 9:30pm comes, and I still got nothing. I have no choice but to force myself to go down and find something to shoot outside. I looked up in the sky and I saw clouds! Now I know that a long exposure shot would be really cool! I just have to find an interesting subject, it only took a few steps […]
I literally have no photo today, I was really feeling tired after office work and wanted to stay in bed. It was around 10pm that I decided to get my arse off and shoot something. And here we are, this is right in front of our building’s parking. As you can see the road is still under construction, it’s a new building. And behold! I found my subject 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 + manfrotto tripod Settings: f8.0 […]
