I took this around 7:00am, it has been foggy lately here in Dubai.  I have to hurry taking the shot before the sun gets too bright, so I didn’t have the chance to change my lens to a wider one, at that time it had the Canon EF 100mm f2.8 macro lens on, which made a nice tighter crop.  It a bit hazy but I like the colors of the sky.

How I took this shot:

Gear: Canon 7D + Canon 100mm f2.8
Settings: f 6.3 | 1/2000 & 1/2000 -2EV  (2 exposures)

Post processing:

• I opened two exposures in Photoshop, making the darker one on the top most layer
• Blended some parts of the lighter exposure to expose some details of the building and the cranes behind it
• Adjusted brightness and contrast

Cheers!
