Today, another set of Indian dancers performed. Their attention to details and colors when it comes to their clothing are really amazing, quite intricate and very catchy 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Tamron 18-270mm VC @270mm Settings: f8.0 | 1/400 | ISO 320 Post processing: Applied selective sharpening Applied some blending modes Applied texture to create that artistic ambiance that matches the performers and their culture This week just flew by me… Again, its weekend! Take care everyone! /Mike
Today, there are some Indian dancers performing near our office building. Just couldn’t resist to click 🙂 The colors of their outfits need to be captured. As you can see, this is just a casual snap, available light during its worst time at 1pm, so harsh lights everywhere. I used spot metering to expose their skin tone properly. Gear: Canon 7D + Tamron 18-270mm VC Settings: f8.0 | 1/500 | ISO 500 @270mm Post process: I did a 16:9 crop […]
This is the food court in our building (at work). It’s been six years that I have been in this building and they have renovated this 3 times — it always looks good. I really am going to miss this place once we moved out. This is how it looks at around 5:30pm, it’s almost empty. For some strange reason this picture reminds me of Christmas, maybe the colors? The lights that look like xmas lights? Hmmm could also be […]
To think that this is all desert before… it’s quite nice here now. I like to shoot as much as I can with this place because in less than 2 months from now, our office will be relocated in the middle of nowhere. That place will have a lot of sand, dust and nothingness. Wow, I’m so excited! So, here I am trying to capture the place where I have been working for 6 years. I never appreciated its beauty […]
This is me while having lunch… Sitting on a bench in front of the lake. Today I had a subway veggie delight 🙂 Weather is really good lately in Dubai. Very relaxing and calming… Anyway, decided to put the LX3 on the ground and take a shot; this is probably an ant’s perspective… or any insect on the ground for that matter 😀 How I took it? Here you go: Gear: Lumix LX3 Settings: f4.0 | 1/640 | Dynamic Scene […]
Today is just busy. Got too much going on at work. I have to prepare for a presentation that is due on Monday and I have zero. Anyway, that’s no excuse not to take a photo. This is a flyover near work. I like the leading lines on this image 🙂 So that is 1 week done! It’s true, time really flies. How I took this shot: Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20 + Tripod Settings: f/9 | 10 secs. […]
I had a lot of office work today 🙁 Speaking of work, this is our office building. I have been going in and out of of this building for almost 6 years. And this is the first time I took a real picture of it. Anyway, nothing fancy today… What I like about this is the mixture of the blue lights on the floor and the red cast courtesy of the break lights of the car on the left. Taken […]
I’m starting to feeling it… It’s not easy but in a way its good because you learn to push yourself to your limits. Today is day 3; I was in the office the whole day doing the stuff that I do pretty much all week and there I was, on my cubicle thinking of day 3. I really couldn’t think of anything to shoot when you are answering e-mails at work. Until it’s 6pm and it’s time go home. This […]
