Back in March I was assisting in Gulf Photo Plus, and part of the on-location shooting was along the shoreline of Al Qasr Hotel in Dubai. It’s one of the tried-and-true photos that I have always loved to take myself, and when I had the chance I jumped on it and started taking photos, along with other aspiring photographers was a great part of the learning experience.

Downtown Amman

This photo is actually quite old, from my first visit to Amman in 2008. I just had the time to sit with it and edit it.

I am not totally satisfied with the results (the left minaret is a bit too skewed) but I like the overall sense of awe with the monochrome effect.

Blueming

Trying out some new Photoshop techniques and filters :)

Timid

Strolling around in Bastakiyya, Dubai, and found a beautiful horse wandering around. It was a nice opportunity to test out “horse photography”, with the typical perspectives that are of abundant supply on dA and the rest of the internet. Still, it was good practice.

I should find some wild horses next!

Coy Little Princess

 

This adorable little street cat had a field day posing around and playing with everyone. She boasted gorgeous eyes and she knew it! Thanks to her friendliness I was able to be inches away from her and yet not bother her comfort zone at all!

Shades of Grey

 

Rolls of fog swept the desert early this morning. The fog was moving quick so by the time I prepped my camera, the scene I wanted to take has long changed. There were several rolls of fog forming about the trees, filtering some of the sunlight through. Too bad though, the moment was gone, but this was the closest one, until another foggy morning pods along.

We all need some peace and quiet :)
