Probably the most iconic building in Dubai or probably the world, the Burj Khalifa; currently the tallest building on Earth. Took this early morning and even though it’s really hard waking up… it’s worth it. This is a single exposure shot, I did a multiple exposure but the light was great and great dynamic range was captured in one single exposure shot. Sometimes you get lucky I guess 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 8-16mm Settings: f11 | 1/6 | […]
This was a fun shoot with Alexandra; this was taken in Jumeirah open beach in Dubai. I have been shooting portraits for a while now and I have been missing shooting landscapes, it shows in this picture 🙂 Once the temperature goes less than 48C (YES!) in Dubai, I’ll probably go out and shoot landscapes again… Tried to do some of my landscape workflow on this picture 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + EF 24-70mm f2.8L Settings: f4.5 | 1/800 | […]
Another shot of Ms. Lili Green. Trying out my first canon L lens. Well, it is really worth the price, however it is darn heavy!

I was invited by a local photography group called CCD (Camera Club of Dubai) as a mentor in one of their photo shoot in my favorite location, the abandoned village in Ras Al Khaimah. I was not actively shooting since I have to help a few other people with their camera settings but it was really a nice experience.
