This was taken at Dubai Festival City using my point and shoot camera LX3 with its built in “HDR” mode. This is one of the malls here in Dubai and like pretty much everywhere here in Dubai right now, it is celebrating FIFA 2010 games which is still on going. Gear: Lumix LX3 Settings: f2.0 | 1/30 | ISO 400 (High Dynamic Scene Mode) Post process: Mild dodging and burning Curves adjustments Cheers! /Mike
Another underwater shot using my point and shoot cam, LX3. By the way, this is my brother Arvin, showing his “muro-ami” moves 🙂 Gear: Lumix LX3 Settings: f2.0 | 1/2000 | ISO 80 Post process: Dodging and burning Adjusted Hue and Saturation Removed some distracting lines from the pool’s walls Can’t wait for the weekend 😀 /Mike
I’ve always wanted to know how it looks underwater; It intrigues me; I wanted to know what is happening to that place I can’t see. It’s good that with the help of a camera, I can see what’s below the surface. I used my point and shoot camera with this one, Lumix LX3 with underwater casing. This is my first underwater shot 🙂 Gear: Lumix LX3 Settings: f4.5 | 1/800 | ISO 400 Post processing: Adjusted contrast Dodging and burning […]
I confess, this was a last minute shot. It’s weekend here and this idea just came out of no where. So, I got my speedlite 580exii and attached the Lumiquest softbox III, slid the wireless phottix transceiver on to the flash and popped my trusty lumix LX3 together with the phottix transmitter. Went straight to the sink and with an improvised background and there you go! Day 22! Here’s the rest of the technical yada yada.. Gear: Lumix LX3 + […]
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 our company hosted a karting event for employees. I enjoyed it a lot! This is me with my grudged helmet & racing suit (it’s quite smelly and itchy) but who cares! karting is cool! I took literally 3 shots and 2 of them are blurred… Luckily I decided to take a “stig” shot 🙂 How I took it: Gear: Lumix LX3 Settings : f2.0 | 0.5 | ISO 400 | Dynamic Scene Mode Post processing: A little dodge & […]
As much as I hate to see my face on pictures… Sometimes we have to let creativity do its thing 🙂 (blame creativity!). This is me driving to work… This is actually a Top Gear inspired angle 😀 A different perspective. Actually, this was taken on my way to the parking (hoping that I’ll get a good spot!). Gear: Lumix LX3 Settings: f2.0 | 1/320 | RAW file Post processing: Adjusted levels in Photoshop CS4 Little dodging and burning and […]
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 […]
