Dubai Canal

I got lucky for this photograph. First, there were low clouds flying around Dubai skyscrapers, which is far from a common thing in Dubai. And then a ship entered into my long exposure and lit the bridge from below. Really enjoyed this place!

Hello my dear friends! Well, it's been a while since my last upload, almost a month! Mostly due to lack of motivation and inspiration to go out shooting.

But tonight I had a good reason to go out for a shooting since my long time flickr friend Aubrey Stoll from UK was visiting Dubai.

There is a sand storm at the moment, hence a very dense haze, and quite unusual colors for my night shots.

It's good to be back anyway! See you on your streams soon!

5 exposures Digital Blending, shot with my Nikkor Fisheye lens.

One of those rare cloudy sunsets in Dubai!

Dubai skyline seen from the Business Bay area, on a very clear night, which is a rarity here.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas! Good to see that we survived the Mayan calendar prediction! :)

This is not a real panorama, I just cropped it, it looks better this way :)

Another clear and relatively cool (25 C) evening in Dubai, it is such a treat to go out shooting these days! I already had two shots from that vantage point, but never had a blue hour one.

A little break in my latest B&W series, this one really deserved to be shown in glorious colors! :)

An unusual harsh light shot on my photo stream! I thought I could get away with it by creating a tone-mapped HDR, use a very long exposure for the water, and convert it to B&W. And as a bonus you get some clouds, another rarity in Dubai!

Technical stuff: 7 exposures tone-mapped HDR with Oloneo Photo Engine, water replaced with a single exposure shot with ND400+ND8 stacked (f/22, 4 minutes), final composite image converted to B&W with Nik SilverEfex Pro.

Sorry for not commenting much lately, likewise don't feel obliged to leave a comment :)

One of those rare cloudy nights in Dubai. I was also lucky with the reflections, just after I took this shot, the wind kicked in and the reflections were gone. I waited for 30 minutes for the wind to go down and take more shots but then I gave up.

Special thanks to my new photog buddy Sebastian who had the great idea of bringing me to this place that cloudy night.

Sometimes it's good to scan through my old shots, this is one I completely missed to process a year and a half ago :)
