This was taken at Fujairah, Al Aqa beach. This is a little further away from the beach resorts on that area. It’s really a great place to shoot, the only problem I have with this place is the distance to Dubai, it takes around 2.5 hours to drive. Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20mm + ND8 Filter Settings: f8.0 | 2.5 secs | ISO 100 Post processing: Adjusted curves to get details from the sky Applied sharpening since its very […]

Taken the same day as my previous post. Fujairah, is indeed amazing. We didn’t get clouds, we had a very overcast day… it’s even hazy at times. But you know what, this place is still a beauty, look at it! Shot details: 10mm | f11.0 | 30 sec. Gears: Canon EOS 7D Sigma 10-20mm Fader ND (ND2 to ND400 Variable ND Filter) Manfrotto 055XProB Manfrotto 468MGRC2 Ballhead Post processing: Again, JPEG opened in ACR, adjusted clarity and vibrance (hopefully Adobe […]
For those who have read my Canon EOS 7D review (found here), I haven’t tried the Canon 7D on nature shots yet, so last Saturday I did. Me and my friends Jason and Nino went to Fujairah, its around 2 hrs drive from Dubai. I came there to test 2 things, first, my new 7D and second the Fader ND filter. I’ll talk about Fader ND on my future blog post, I had some issues with it. I got splashed […]
Another shot from Fujairah. This was taken from Miramar Beach Resort. Woke up at 5am to have a glimpse of sunrise. My lens fogged up heavily… mainly because of the temperature and humidity. How I took this shot: Gears: Canon XSi (450D) + Sigma 10-20mm Manfrotto 055XProB Manfrotto 468MGRC2 Ballhead Post processing: Took 3 bracketed shot from ACR; merge as HDR to Photoshop Saved as tiff file and tone mapped in Photomatix Opened in Photoshop again to adjust the colors […]
This is Fujairah. One of the 7 emirates here in UAE. This particular photo was shot from a beach resort, during sunrise. I hate waking up too early but if this is what I see everytime I wake up… then its worth it. How I took this shot: Gears: Canon XSi (450D) + Sigma 10-20mm Manfrotto 055XProB Manfrotto 468MGRC2 Ballhead Post processing: Took 3 bracketed shot from ACR; merge as HDR to Photoshop Saved as tiff file and tone mapped […]
