This was taken today at Bab Al Shams Hotel. This hotel is situated in the middle of the dessert and far away from the busy cities of Dubai. It offers old Arabian design from the lobby up to the hotel rooms. This hotel is not really cheap but the place is one of the best Arabic Architecture I’ve seen in a while.

Probably the most iconic building in Dubai or probably the world, the Burj Khalifa; currently the tallest building on Earth. Took this early morning and even though it’s really hard waking up… it’s worth it. This is a single exposure shot, I did a multiple exposure but the light was great and great dynamic range was captured in one single exposure shot. Sometimes you get lucky I guess 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 8-16mm Settings: f11 | 1/6 | […]
This was a fun shoot with Alexandra; this was taken in Jumeirah open beach in Dubai.  I have been shooting portraits for a while now and I have been missing shooting landscapes, it shows in this picture 🙂 Once the temperature goes less than 48C (YES!) in Dubai, I’ll probably go out and shoot landscapes again… Tried to do some of my landscape workflow on this picture 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + EF 24-70mm f2.8L Settings: f4.5 | 1/800 | […]
