This hotel has been photographed so many times. Everyone who went to Dubai will sure have a picture of the Burj Al Arab. I wanted it to have a more surreal look, thus post processed accordingly.

Al Hamra Fort in Ras Al Khaimah is really a good place to chill. The place is rather old compare to the new beach resorts in RAK, but I guess it has its own charms…

Taken during sunset at Al Hamra Fort. It’s getting harder and harder to shoot recently. Everytime I take the camera out, it fogs really quickly and not only its going to ruin your shot, but also the camera and lens as well. But, what can I do, I can’t stop humidity and wait till the sunset is over 
Anyway, just sharing.

I was trying to capture the sunset and I was a bit disappointed with the sky due to the lack of clouds and suddenly I saw this girl watching the sunset. I wanted to ask her name and her story but I’m in no mood for a face slap
