I feel so sleepy when it’s raining outside. And it has been for the whole day today. But still, to keep up with the blog, how about another photo from Dubai, taken right at the moonrise.

This is a HDR from 5 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 4, Camera Model: Canon 5D mark II, Lens: Canon 70-200mm F2.8 IS II, Focal length: 160mm, Aperture: 5, Middle exposure time: 2s, ISO: 400, Tripod used: yes, Location: 25.227072, 55.253572

I was not yet in the mood to get back to my more recent photos, so today, here is one more from Dubai. A blue hour view of the Dubai Marina from very high up.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 5, Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D mark II, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 16mm, Aperture: 5.6, Middle exposure time: 4.0s, ISO: 200, Tripod used: yes, Location: 25.085954, 55.145367

For today I went a chosen one of the older photos, from my trip to Dubai in 2013. I do really have to go back sometime :). This is a 2 shot panorama, each shot from 5 exposures. I had to do a little more editing here, as somehow I managed to cut off the top of one of the skyscrapers while taking the shots. But since I wanted it there, I had to use a part of a different photo, taken from the same spot, and also expand the sky (as described in this tutorial) to have a place for it.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 2, Camera Model: Canon 5D mark II , Lens: Canon 24-70mm F2.8, Focal length: 54mm, Aperture: 10, Middle exposure time: 1/80s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 25.071577, 55.132860

I already got home from Austria, but after three days of running around during very sunny days (up to 35 degrees weather all the time) I’m crazy tired. So no new photo today yet, but hopefully I recover until tomorrow and post a new one.

For today, one of my favorite photos from Dubai.

If all goes well, I’m going back to Dubai this year. Still so many photos I want to take there :)
