Today my concept was movie time 🙂 Another last minute shoot… I didn’t know how this idea came to me but somehow it did.  That’s pretty much it for today… Gotta get me some rest now 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + 50mm f1.8 Settings: f8.0 | 1/200 | ISO 100 Strobist info: 580exii + shoot through umbrella @ 1/16 Trigger: 7D built in Transmitter Post processing: Cropped Adjusted contrast and vibrance Applied a little sharpening on some areas and selected noise […]
I have always played with this setup in my head; I had a lot of other versions… Probably I will have to explore those some other day. But today, this is the one I wanted to share.  I wanted to take this picture with the sun up at the window but when I set up my equipments and started doing some test shots, it was too late. Anyway, I think without the ambient light will do just fine for this […]
Today, nothing fancy… These are water meters. I found them right in front my apartment’s door. It looks very interesting but, somehow with the lighting available, it looks a little flat, that’s why I popped my 2 speedlites, put blue gels on both of them and took some frames. This particular frame is the one I like best. Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 Settings: f6.3 | 1/30 | ISO 200 Strobist info: 430EXII + blue gel @ 1/16 580EXII […]
On my way home, I saw that the cherry picker was on a different location and it was lowered 🙂 So I decided to give it a go! There is something with this cherry picker… could be the color; I like blue… hmm (blanked out!) It’s getting warm in Dubai lately… And the clouds are starting to disappear. Anyway, my 365 continues 🙂 How I took it: Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 + tripod Settings: f9.0 | 60 secs. […]
This is my brother’s guitar 🙂 I always wanted to shoot this but I just can’t visualize it, a few minutes ago, the vision came… and it looks a lot like that 🙂 I received a lot of encouraging messages from my flickr acount and here on my blog; I really really appreciate those who dropped by and sent me a message to give out their support, that means a lot to me, I just wanted to thank you all! […]
Today was one of those days again… crunch time 🙂 Scratching my head ’till 10pm until this idea came up, wanted to give credit to my assistant for chirping a few ideas here and there and for holding the water source (the shower) for me. Indeed a great help. Would have been difficult to do this on my own. I have something different on my head but this came out pretty interesting so I guess I’m going with it 😀 […]
They say, everything has a face if you stare at it long enough. Well in this case, you don’t have to stare too long to notice the faces on the matches as they burned. Finally! I have finished one month of my 365 🙂 I took a picture every single day for the entire month… I’m giving my self a pat at the back 🙂  So far I am really happy with all the images I took for this month. […]
This shot was taken at Ibn Batuta Mall a few hours ago, it belongs to Egypt Court. I really find it interesting how this place was made, it is like a museum and a mall at the same time. That is pretty much it for me today, need to rest and prepare for work tomorrow. Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 Settings: f5.0 | 1/20 | ISO 400 Post processing: Dodging and burning Adjusted contrast and applied sharpening Applied noise […]
I am posting this right now from Golden Tulip Beach Resort here in Abu Dhabi. I found this just right beside the hotel, the houses on the left are for the employees of the hotel and about the yachts… that one I don’t have any idea. It was pretty dark here so I was forced to shoot this at ISO 200. It’s a nice hotel, it is quite cozy in here. Nonetheless a great place to relax and unwind, far […]
So there I was, again being lazy… Looking around the house for something that might be interesting to shoot, then 9:30pm comes, and I still got nothing. I have no choice but to force myself to go down and find something to shoot outside. I looked up in the sky and I saw clouds! Now I know that a long exposure shot would be really cool! I just have to find an interesting subject, it only took a few steps […]
