Taken from Al Aqah Fujairah. This was my first shot just before the sunrise. I like the cold and relax feel of it. Makes me want to go back in there. If it was not 2 hours away, I would like to visit this place more frequently. Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Settings: f13 | 2 sec. | ISO 100 Post process: 2 exposure blending (DRI) Curves adjustments Dodging and burning Vibrance and Saturation adjustments Cheers! Mike
Another one from Fujairah. The sun was already fully up a this point. I used my ND1000x BW ND filter to get the smoke effect on the water. I haven’t used this filter as much as I would want to because, I haven’t done a lot of seascapes here in Dubai. Another use for this filter would be for the clouds movement, to get them into a blur, which is not very applicable here in Dubai since clouds here are […]
A very rare case that I woke up early for a shoot 🙂 My photo buddy Eugene invited me to shoot in Fujairah, which is a 2-hour drive from Dubai. I have to wake up at 3:30am which is usually the time I go to sleep… Anyway, this is one of few times I can use my BW ND1000 and it’s really nice to spend time with nature. Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 + BW ND1000 (ND110) Settings: […]

When I saw this picture, I really want to go in there and sit while watching the sun rise…. This was taken at Fujairah; Oh I can’t wait for my vacation! Which is due next week! Most probably I won’t be able to post for 2 weeks but after that, I’ll have tons of pictures to share. Gear: Canon 450D + Sigma 10-20mm Settings: f8.0 | 1/80 | ISO 100 Post processing: This is a single exposure shot and adjusted […]
There’s something about photographing nature, it makes you appreciate the planet we are living in.  Taken from Fujairah, one of the best places to relax here in the UAE. Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20mm Settings: f22 | 5 secs. | ISO 100 Post processing: Adjusted exposure using different curves settings Enhanced the sky to get more drama Applied some sharpening TGIF! /Mike
I have been into seascapes lately, here’s another one. This particular one was taken from Fujairah, one of the seven emirates here in the UAE. Gear:Â Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20 + ND8 Settings: f11 | 0.4 | ISO 100 Post processing: Enhanced the sky to get a dramatic sunset Used curves to correct the exposure on certain areas Applied sharpening adjusted hue and saturation Cheers! /Mike
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.
