Architecture
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.
Another of the shots that I took in the brilliant evening lighting at the Sydney Opera House. For this particular one, I had to apply selective darkening / gradient filtering to the sky to bring out the colours and details in the clouds. I like the unusual perspective I managed to achieve in the end.
A break from the recent fireworks shots (although I have got at least a couple more new ones from last weekend to post up)… I picked up these reflections along a building in Manchester while we were walking towards Old Trafford on a tour to Manchester United soccer stadium. I have deliberately kept the road sign towards the right of the frame to distinguish what is within and without the “zone”.
