I See You Crabbing Around

Via Flickr:
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.
