thought i would start a topic where i can put all my city pics etc, so u can see what a tough life it is over here

we have had very hazy days lately, so the pics have not come out anywhere near good enough, so i have not even ps'd any of them
that said i still want your opinions on how i can improve next time



the famous Burj Al Arab on the left, and Mina Al Salam on the right
my aperture here was way too open (but i had to sneak the pics as you are not allowed to use "pro" cameras here)




Palm Jumeirah and the Atantis hotel (copy of the Atlantis in the Bahamas)

hope u like them, more of dubai to follow

I'm not sure i'm too fond of the first shot.. the rather "cold" purplish tone of the Burj Al Arab with the "warm" Mina Al Salam clash in the photo.

As for the second shot, i really like the lights in the horizon and the framing, but there are some serious.. and i meant serious distortions in the photo.

the lights on the burj change colour constantly, its awesome when its a deep purple

yeah i know, shouldve zoomed in a little and taken a lot more shot but in portrait mode to make the panorama
e: and paid mor attention when i was lining the shots up
i know the allignment etc can be straightened etc but i really do not knpw how to do it anymore, can some1 point me in the right direction pls

Wow, building changes colors.. that's a first for me.

As for alignments, i have no idea.. I'm a complete noob at photoshop, i'm sure someone else can chime in.

2nd shot is ill , really feelin it. how do people shooot so that its so thin ??

Pano shot. They stitch multiple images together.

i like them wery much. keep posting pics.

Very neat place. Wow you can't take any professional photos there at all? Or only in certain places?

Thanks for sharing the photos, looking forward to a lot more!

You can also have lovely shots at Burj Al Arab on an aerial view where you can take photos of the sea also.

i was just in the 1 hotel



yeah that does make a good shot, but thats if i ever do an aerial tour
i dont really like shooting the burj, as its all been done b4 and way too often


oh and btw these were shot with the crappy kit lense
