Haven’t really had much luck for sunset in Dubai, and of course also the blue hour is very short there. If I hadn’t taken any photos, I would probably miss it completely. So this is another photo taken in the middle of the night.

This is a HDR from 4 exposurs, taken from the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai.

There is this very cool building in the middle of the Jumeirah lakes towers, with this star shape on the bottom. I was thinking of how to have it in a shot while standing under it, and this is what I got :) Of course I went with a vertorama, to be able to get everything into a photo.

This is a vertorama from two photos, each one created from 4 exposures in Oloneo Photoengine.

This was just a lucky shot. We were on the spot to get the citiscape shot, and were already slowly packing our stuff, when the moon rose from behind the buildings. So of course we had to stay longer and get few photos of it :)

This is a HDR from 5 exposures created in Oloneo Photoengine, then blended with original exposures in Photoshop. The moon is form an underexposed version of the -2Ev exposure (it was really bright :))

The Dubai Marina gives so many great views. Especially if you manage to get a little higher up, so you can get a much wider view. Same with this shot. I was just lucky that my friends knew someone who lived in the area on a higher floor, and we were allowed to occupy the balcony for a while to take few shots :)

This is a HDR created from 5 exposures in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop. Taken around 11pm.

When one get up very high, it’s really great to start by taking very wide views. But once those are done, I like to get out my 70-200 lens and start zooming on parts of the scenery. Same for this one, where I zoomed in onto this little square with this lovely fountain in the middle. The whole composition is around the fountain, that’s why I also positioned it in the middle of the photo.
