Using and ND filter can give photos a very interesting look. Especially if you shoot next to water as it nicely blurs it and you get reflections where you normally would not. It’s always a good idea to give it a try :)
This is a HDR from 5 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine and finished in Photoshop.
I took a photo of just the tops of the skyscrapers here, but I thought it was quite boring. So I played around with the rotation here, and took another photo like this. I think this rotation made the photo much more interesting. In the least, it made it more unique :)
This is a HDR from 4 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop.
I don’t really like these fake reflections that much. But as I was editing this panorama, I just tried it out, and I quite like the result :) Even if I know it’s fake, I like how it looks (but will also post the normal shot sometimes later anyway :) ).
This is a 4 shots panorama, each shot from 4 exposures. Panorama created in PTgui, with the exposures combined in Oloneo Photoengine. The image finished and reflection create in Photoshop.
You can see an even bigger version here.
I hope you are not yet bored by the Dubai photos :) I don’t have anything other new recently, but hopefully soon. Until then, there will be many more skyscrapers on this blog. Ho here is another one from the Dubai Marina :)

One of my most favorite views of Dubai. I was quite lucky to get to this spot, even if we only had a hour to take shots. But as I knew exactly what photo I wanted, I focused mostly on taking it. I haven’t used my regular tripod here, but the Manfrotto tabletop one instead. The small wall around the roof area of the building was just too high for me to get over it with my tripod. Actually that was a recurring problem I had during my whole trip. I just need a higher tripod. It’s the first thing on my list of needed upgrades :)
This photo is a vertorama, created from 2 shots, each one from 5 exposures. First the exposures were combined into a vertorama in PTgui and then into HDR in Oloneo Photoengine. It was finished in Photoshop after that.
