I saw this two buildings and even with an 11mm UWA lens, they don’t fit on my frame. I decided to go under them and try to frame it as symmetrical as I can. No cropping here. I think I took 4 shots and this was the most symmetrical one.

Taken from Dubai Internet City. There’s a lot more to this place, I just need to find more time and go to some other areas. Anyway, this will do for now 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Settings: f5.0 | 1/20 | ISO 125 Post process: Blended 3 exposures manually (DRI) Dodging and burning Adjusted hue and saturation Added vignette Wohooo! It’s weekend! /Mike
I probably posted these buildings more than a few times, I just like how they look 🙂 I just have to experiment with what foreground I have to match it with 😀 Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.9 Settings: f14 | 1/200 | ISO 100 Post process: Enhanced the sky to get more cloud texture Applied different curve settings Adjusted hue and saturation Dodging and burning Cheers! /Mike
This is one of the places I like to shoot; simply because they just let me be. Very photographer-friendly (so far). This was taken at Dubai Marina, right next to Marina Mall. Nice place to just relax and sip coffee (or tea whichever suits you). Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20mm Settings: f8 | 30 secs. /ISO 100 Post process: Dodging and burning Digital blending and masking from an underexposed shot (DRI) Adjusted exposure using curves Applied sharpening and noise […]
From this angle you can see how tall the Burj Khalifa compared to the other Dubai skylines. This was taken at Jumeirah beach, in the part where there are not so many people around. Oh man, that building is really tall! Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20mm Settings: f11 | 1/250 | ISO 100 Post processing: Enhanced the sky to get more texture of the sky using curves Dodging and burning Contrast adjustment Added a light vignette Take care! /Mike
Today, I purchased a yacht! It’s the one on the right, the one with “DP 2735”! Isn’t she wonderful? All I can say is that… …Yeah right! Happy April fools day everyone! Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10mm f2.8 Settings: f5.0 | 1/15 | ISO 320 Post processing: Dodged and burned Applied different curves settings on different areas Blended another brighter exposure to get some details on the foreground (DRI) Applied some noise reduction Have a nice day! /Mike
Today, I wanted to try a cross processed look. Mixture of green and yellow. This was taken at Dubai International Finance Center (DIFC). Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Settings: f8.0 | 1/160 | ISO100 Post Processing: Dodged and burned Adjusted contrast and saturation Applied two color filters, green and yellow then blended it together Ye’y its weekend! /Mike
