This is Burj Khalifa, the tallest building on Earth.  Together with the world’s tallest dancing fountain.

I decided to go back there and shoot the Burj at night since I’m getting a lot of hits from the day version, which can be found here.

I, like many others, was surprised when it was named Burj Khalifa since everyone is already used to calling it Burj Dubai.  Anyway, it’s their building so they can name it whatever they want to.   I was hoping for a different kind of light from the Burj Khalifa, usually it has some spot lights all over as if it was watching the neighboring buildings.  I didn’t get that tonight but I did manage to get the dancing fountain which is currently the world’s tallest dancing fountain!  So, I guess that’s cool

Would have been better with clouds but… You can’t always get what you want

How I took it:

Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20mm + Tripod
Settings: f9.0 | 15 seconds | ISO 100

Post processing:

• Applied some perspective correction
• Adjusted contrast and brightness
• Applied some dodging and burning
• Added a touch of sharpening

Back to work again tomorrow…

Cheers!
