For today, I chosen a photo I took of the entrance of the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. I would have really like to do a more lower view, showing the whole entrance here, but it was never empty. So instead, I looked more up, and focused more on the details on the wall. They really look wonderful.

This is a HDR from 6 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop. I needed so many exposures, as the outside wall was very dimly lit compared to the inside.

To break a little from the photos from Austria, Budapest and Prague, I looked back through my photos from the United Arab Emirates, and chosen another one to edit. So today, a photo from the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.

This is a blend from 3 photos, created in Photoshop.

Technique: Manual blend, Number of exposures: 3, Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D mark II, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 16mm, Aperture: 8, Middle exposure time: 0.4s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 24.413264, 54.475468

And to end up with 2014 :) Tomorrow I will be back with a new shot from 2015 :)

Another one of my favorite photos from UAE. This one is from the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.

How about a new photo from Abu Dhabi today. Ok, not new, since I took it almost a year ago. But it’s new as I haven’t published it yet :)

This is a single exposure blended a little with HDR created from 2 exposures in Oloneo Photoengine.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 2, Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 16mm, Aperture: 8, Middle exposure time: 1/6s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 24.412637, 54.476093
