Landscape Pictures
I visited Dubai recently after a work-related meeting in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates recently. Amidst news of the financial troubles Dubai is facing currently, we took in the sights of the amazing skyscrapers and construction within the city itself. This is a view of the Burj Dubai, which has surpassed the Taipei 101 as the tallest building in the world for now.
Apologies for the lack of updates as I have been away in Sydney, Australia, for a work-related trip. In between work, I did manage to capture some nice pictures… To start off the series, this is a picture of the iconic Sydney Opera House that I captured at dusk from Circular Quay. I was rather pleased with the way the colours of dusk turned out on the shot. As I did not bring my tripod with me on this trip, I had to push the ISO to 1600 to comfortably take a handheld shot. Lightroom did a great job at reducing the noise to a pleasant level 🙂
Taken during my trip in April this year, at an earlier time prior to this post. I like the somewhat mysterious mood of this one with its broody colours.
