Apparently just over 850 meters is high enough! Although there have been lots of rumours going around Dubai (one of them being that the top pole can be raised even more!) it seems that the final height of the Burj Dubai is standing at around 850 meters. That height creates plenty of problems when you’re trying to photograph the tower while including some of its surroundings, like the very impressive, just opened, “largest fountain in the world”.
I hope you’ll enjoy this one since I spent quite a lot of time on it blending two landscape shots into one vertical photograph and doing a lot of perspective adjustments in Photoshop. I know it’s quite a tall image and if it doesn’t fit in your browser I recommend using the CTRL- (Apple- for those of you on Mac) shortcut in your browser to zoom out.
