A little different shot from the Burj Khalifa I tried a similar shot before in Bratislava and Ljubljana, but looks more stunning with few skyscrapers in the view. This is actually quite interesting way to have railings on high buildings. You have a glass wall, so it’s safe, but you also have openings in it, that you can take photos. I had to wait for a while to be able to take this photo, as I could not get a big enough space free of any people, but after a while I succeed.

This was taken as two bracketed series of 4 images, one focused on the borders, one on the skyscrapers. Combined into two HDRs in Oloneo Photoengine and blended in Photoshop.
