Changing Lanes

A must for most photography hobbyist in the UAE, the FotoWeekend is back. If you want to learn more about potraiture, it doesn't get better then Bobbi Lane while anything photoshop, David Nightingale is the person for you. Haven't seen the other three photographers (Bert Stephani, Carol Dragon, Martin Prihoda)  before so can't really comment on them though if they're in the line up, I'm sure they'll be fabolous. In fact, I'll be at this event assisting one of them. Anyway for more information, click here

I'm strong enough to walk away, but broken enough to look back.

Took this 3 shot HDR from the 'The Gate' at Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) during the Landscape photography class of David Nightingale during Gulf photo plus 2010. I was shooting with the equipment I had borrowed from the Canon stand at the event i.e. Canon 1D MarkIII camera and a Canon 14mm f2.8L fish eye lens.Camera Model : Canon EOS 1D MarkIII

A few more shots from the desert trip during the Gulf photo plus 2010 event.

So last month I was assisting David Nightingale at Gulf photo plus 2010 event. Here are some pictures taken on the the 3rd of march in the desert(somewhere between the Al Ain-Dubai and Hatta-Dubai road) that was part of our landscape photography class field trip. So it was a free safari ride for me and an opportunity to take pictures in the middle of no where, something I haven't done before. I had sand all over my body and my camera but it was still a lot of fun.
