After long last the clouds have returned to Dubai. This large one was simply breathtaking and the tones off the sunset contrasted from top to bottom. Unfortunately I didn't have my SLR on hand and the P&S was out of batter (kicking myself in dismay....) so I resorted to my trusty Iphone to get this shot. Completely processed in the Iphone

Managed to sneak into a cordoned off area near Festival City in Dubai. This was shot just after sunset with the light of the bridge just coming on.

Very little PP in Lightroom with minor Noise reduction and Color correction.

SOS at the Creek

Ramadan Kareem to you all. This image was shot at Dubai creek this afternoon thanks to shorter work timings during Ramadan. It is actually a panorama of 18 shots using a long lens.

The Jetty is used for Dubai's water taxi system to comute along the creek to popular destinations in the emirate.

Shot this small Rock Crab nestling between the rocks on Ajman Beach at Dawn, the tide was just coming in so a lot of these little folk began their ritual of seeking higher ground. This was was a tad camera shy but at the same time curious enough to look right at the lens with one eye. (BTW they can move their eyes independently).

Ras Al Khaimah's Ghost Town

The four images below were shot at the ruins of an abandoned town in the emirate if Ras Al Khaimah.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks go out to my friend and fellow hobbyist photographer Anjum who is a RAK native (he lives there... definitely not from there) who showed me the spot.

Anjum's images can be seen here.

I managed t make a classic blunder of not zero'ing my camera out before beginning the shoot and took all the shots at ISO 3200. However I must say that the D300s hasn't disappointed and cleaning the images up was relatively simple using Lightroom's built in Noise reduction.
