365 Project : Day 155

Sunsets are really amazing, it gives so much color and depth to any photograph.  Using my trusty LX3 on this one 🙂 Gear: Lumix LX3 Settings: f2.8 | 1/400 | ISO 100 Post process: Dodging and burning Adjusted tones using curves Adjusted vibrance and saturation TGI Friday! /Mike

365 Project : Day 154

365 Project : Day 153

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. Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Settings: f8.0 | 1/25 | ISO 320 Post process: DRI’d from 3 exposures Adjusted color channels to have a bleached look Adjusted contrast via curves I can smell weekend!!! /Mike

365 Project : Day 152

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

365 Project : Day 151

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 […]
