Architecture

The Setting Sun

240 sec, f/8.0, ISO 100, 10 mm, EF-S 10-22 mm

Took this image on the 2nd of December 2014 when I saw some nice drift in the clouds on Jumeirah Beach. Decided to go a bit under exposed here to give a bit of a silhouette feel which would highlight Burj Al Arab at the backdrop. 

I decided not to clone out the people in the backdrop as well since I like the ghostly effect it adds to the image. 

Hope I get to see more clouds in Dubai! 

FORGIVENESS I

Starting off my 1st blog post with the image that won 2nd place in architecture, buildings category in the International Photography Awards 2014. 

This image was made in collaboration with my very dear friend Michal Klimczak who is one of the best photo manipulation artist that I know of. This very image defines our visions when we collaborate. 

The initial vision was thought by me for replacing the floor with sand to symbolise simplicity and peace. I helped out in setting out the right black and white tones in the image till the final stages. Michal Klimczak helped me out in composting the sand into the picture which was taken by me in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
