Got this off the highway of Ras Al Khaimah while on the way back to Dubai. I first notice the great sky and I saw this pair of tracks and decided to include both of them on my frame 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20mm Settings: f9.0 | 1/10 | ISO 100 Post process: 3 exposures blended using DRI Dodging and burning Adjusted vibrance and saturation Have a nice day to everyone! /Mike
There is something about this place… Makes me think how it was before. I can’t find any documented article about this abandoned place in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, as to how it was before, anyway, this is how it looks today. Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20mm Settings: f9.0 | 1/15 | ISO 100 Post process: Combined 3 exposures (DRI’d) Dodging and burning Selective curves adjustments Added Vibrance and a light vignette See yah! /Mike
Al Hamra Fort in Ras Al Khaimah is really a good place to chill. The place is rather old compare to the new beach resorts in RAK, but I guess it has its own charms… Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10mm f2.8 Settings: f4.5 | 1/25 | ISO 100 Post process: DRI from 3 exposures Dodging and burning Applied curves settings to adjust contrast Cheers! /Mike
The beach is one of the places you can easily reach to relax. However as of the moment here in Dubai, the weather is darn too hot! Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10mm f2.8 Settings: f8.0 | 1/25 | ISO 100 Post process: 3 exposures using DRI Dodging and burning Added vignette Hope everyone’s well! /Mike
This is where I stayed at Al Hamra Village Resort. It’s a nice cozy place and it’s very affordable as well. We had a nice time here. Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Settings: f6.3 | 59 secs. | ISO 200 Post process: DRI from 3 exposures Adjusted color tones Dodging and burning Cheers! /Mike
Took this shot an hour ago; I’m posting this from Al Hamra Village in Ras Al Khaimah. This is not my cleanest post processing since I am editing this while lying in bed with and without any mouse 🙁 Anyways, I tried 🙂 This is my ride, FJ Cruiser. Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Settings: f6.3 | 60 secs | ISO 200 Post processing: Dodging and burning Added a vignette Cheers! /Mike
Taken from Ras Al Khaimah, this looks to be an old butcher house. The place is quite smelly so I had to shoot as fast as I can without breathing… the joy of photography 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20mm Settings: f9.0 | 1/15 | ISO 200 Post process: Blended 2 exposures using DRI technique Dodging and burning Adjusted hue and saturation Added vignette Have a nice weekend 🙂 /Mike
Trying out textures again with one of my favorite places to shoot, the abandoned village in Ras Al Khaimah.

What more can I say, I just love this location. It’s just full of stories and full of scenery that captures my imagination. It’s hard to explain… Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20mm Settings: f9.0 | 1/80 | ISO 100 Post processing: Enhanced the sky to get more cloud textures Dodging and burning Adjusted color tones using curves Applied some sharpening and noise reduction Cheers! /Mike
Again, taken from Ras Al Khaimah. I wish I knew what this structure is, I really have no idea. All I know is that looking at it makes you think and forces you to create your own story behind it. Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20mm Settings: f8.0 | 1/40 | ISO 100 Post processing: Enhanced the sky to give a more dramatic feel Dodging and burning Applied selective color balance Adjusted contrast using blending modes Happy shooting! /Mike
