Souk Al Bahar
Yesterday afternoon I decided to go out and shoot around the Dubai Mall and Souk Al Bahar, braving the Dubai heat and turning into a human sweating machine. The reason I chose this place was because last time I went there with David from Chromasia, the weather didn’t cooperate and the results were fairly disappointing. This time around, I spent a lot more time looking for good locations, got a few “blogable” shots and didn’t even get chased away by the security guards!
Now to the first image… It’s an HDR panorama made out of two landscape shots (each made out of 7 exposures) blended in Photoshop. I wanted to go for a more natural look as opposed to the usual high-contrast HDR shots so I kept the sliders to a minimum in Photomatix. I would be happy to hear what you think…
UPDATE:Â For those of you that can access Flickr (yes it is still blocked in the UAE!) I have uploaded a bigger version of this photograph here.
