The last time I posted a Burj Al Arab shot was almost 2 years ago! I found a great view point today, from the jetty of the Al Qasr Hotel. The blue hues on the foreground are due to the strong blue lighting under the jetty.

An old shot I thought it could be worth posting! ;-)
This is a non fisheye version of a similar shot I posted a few monthsago.

A more conventional view than my previous fisheye shot Planet Marina
This is a Vertorama with some stitching and optical distortion challenges because of the UWA (Ultra Wide Angle)

LARGE View is mandatory! You don't want to miss any details.
Almost one month since my last post! I should not leave for such a long period!
Taken from a friend's balcony, 27th floor, great view on Dubai Marina. I had to fisheye it!
I hope all is well my friends, I am still very busy at work. Will visit your streams soon.

My first shot using a fisheye, thanks to my buddy Rajesh who sold it to me (he does not need it anymore for his full frame D700 camera). Very challenging indeed to find a suitable composition for this lens. This tiny lens is really razor sharp, I am very impressed.
I am again not very active on flickr these days and lagging behind comments. Sorry about that! I'll catch up, but slowly! ;-)

A traditional dhow boat cruising in the Dubai futuristic marina. I always wanted to do this shot, but it was always a challenge to get the timing right, i.e. having the dhow boat to be in this spot during the blue hour.
Multi-exposures Digital Blending, the boat had to be shot at high ISO, high aperture, high shutter speed, and I also wanted a silky water effect with a very long exposure. In the end, a shot that no human eye can ever experience in real :-)
Deconstruction of the shot: Water: 15 sec at f/8 ISO 200 Buildings: 1, 4 & 8 sec at f/8 ISO 200 Boat: 1/8 sec at f/4 ISO 1000, shot 8 minutes before the other exposures (when there was still more light which was good, but I did not have a choice anyway!)

I hope you are not bored with my Dubai Marina shots, but that's all I can offer now due to lack of time, since this is the closest place from home I can shoot! ;-) The building where I live is visible on this shot (see note).
Well at last a blue hour shot with some moving clouds!
My typical Digital Blending recipe: one long exposure for at f/22 for the sky, two exposures at f/8 for the buildings, one exposure at f/2.8 ISO 800 for the boats (they were moving quite a bit).

Today, I decided to go to the 'old' Dubai for the blue hour. I've yet to explore more this area. This cool reflecting glass building is the National Bank of Dubai.
5 exposures Digital Blending, shot with my Sigma 18-200mm (@ 48mm).
