Dubai

This city is awsome for photos. Heres one from a few weeks back. C&C always welcome here.

OK re done lets see if this any better.

The resizeing is what kills me. Any suggestions? Thx, Dave

its a great image, composition wise and everything. I like it, but the image quality is a bit lacking . It seems like you chose a high level of compression which is a bit too distracting here for me.

Very good composition. Most of the detail in the building is lost due to compression or focus?

desertdave · May 31, 2010

Yea I believe compression. The raw processed,saved tiff is awsome. I will try and save it at a diffrent size and re-post when I get home.

Yea, really nice shot of this impressive highrise. There is a bit of a greenish cast on the right foreground railing not sure if that was there?

Can you post some other pics?

It's funny because digital photographer magazine didn't rate dubai so highly for photos, but it would definitely be an intriguing place to visit and I'd love to see they were wrong....

No problem. I've got quite a few. Unfortunatly I did not carry a tripod w/ me for the really steller shots, (I'm on the move and have to travel light) but i will see what I got thats worthy of the forum.

And another, night shot. Once again no tripod

The worlds tallest building, the Burge Kalif

Yes there is a problem w/ sharpness.....No tripod. Also need wider angle do get the height then would have to crop. Possibly a vertical panorama next time ......W/ tripod!

Unfortunatly I did not. I would have had to make the appointment for the following day, and unfortunatly I was flying out then. I will be back there in AUG or SEPT and will hopefully have enough time. I think I need to pack my light weight tri. on the next go around. Unfortunatly I am limited to around 22 KG total baggage weight, and about half that is camera gear! I will figure something out though.:thumbup:
