Dubai Metro #1

December 26th, 2008

Not a lot of things I could say about this shot. Taken the same evening as the panorama I posted a few days ago, this one is a closer crop of the new Dubai Metro line being build alongside Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai.

    Great shot, engrossing. Like out of a dream, or maybe a nightmare.

    Brilliant! Where were you to take the shot? I’m also in Dubai and would love to be able to get some good pics like that!

    Hilary, this was a bit of a difficult (and dangerous) shot to take. I had to walk over a flyover, trying not to get hit by the incoming traffic…

    Catalin, I’m curious what software you use for HDR’s.

    Pius, I mostly use Photomatix although sometimes I switch to FDR Tools (usually when I do hand-held HDR). However, all the shots usually have parts from the original exposures blended back over the tone-mapped images.
