365 Project : Day 143

I’ve always wanted to know how it looks underwater; It intrigues me; I wanted to know what is happening to that place I can’t see.  It’s good that with the help of a camera, I can see what’s below the surface.  I used my point and shoot camera with this one, Lumix LX3 with underwater casing.   This is my first underwater shot 🙂 Gear:  Lumix LX3 Settings:  f4.5 | 1/800 | ISO 400 Post processing: Adjusted contrast Dodging and burning […]

365 Project : Day 142

This is my nice Chloe, she’s almost two years old a week from now.  We went to Al Hamra Resort in Ras Al Khaimah, I used my point & shoot Lumix LX3 with underwater casing for this shot.  It’s cool to capture HD videos of underwater too 🙂 Gear:  Lumix LX3 Settings: f2.0 | 1/2000 | ISO 80 Post processing: Adjusted contrast Added vignette Dodging and burning Weekend ends today… 🙁  Looking forward for the next 🙂 /Mike

365 Project : Day 141

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

365 Project : Day 140

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

365 Project : Day 139

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

365 Project : Day 138

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 […]

365 Project : Day 137

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
