Private Parking

Explored #1. Thanks you all and Boby for the screenshot!

LARGE View (Contacts only - sorry). I sincerely apologize to the flickr members who regularly visit my stream but are not in my contacts list. I will gradually add them to my contacts list.

Another shot from the newly opened Dubai Marina Yatch Club with the huge Jumeirah Beach Residence complex in the background.

Wish you a pleasant week end!

My usual Digital Blending formula: About 4 exposures at f/8 ISO 200 and one exposure at f/2.8 ISO 800 for the boats. All exposures pre-processed with Adobe Camera Raw (White Balance, Clarity, Vibrance, Saturation). Then manually blended and post processed with CS4.

    Depuis que je vois cette marina elle a quelque chose qui m'attire, sûrement les couleurs et le rendu des textures...

  14. Leo Druker (41 months ago | reply)

    Wow - another fantastic shot Daniel. I love the symmetry in the boats on either side of the pier. Great sharpness and the blue tint really works well here.

    Nice work!

    great scene and fantastic processing =)

  25. Rob Robbins (41 months ago | reply)

    Again Daniel, your prowess with the camera is simply OUTSTANDING. You and your bud Rags are setting the standard that many of us only dream of reaching... I have a nephew in Lebanon who visits Dubai frequently and tries to explain the beauty of these places that you bring into my computer to see

  26. Joep R. (41 months ago | reply)

    Awesome work!

    Beautiful lights all over the place. I love how some of the buildings are dark and others have external lighting making them a golden color. Your digital blending technique is pretty awesome, and shows none of the halo/glow effect that often plagues standard HDR.

  30. Diego Tabango (41 months ago | reply)

    amazing work daniel.

  31. Seoulwoman (41 months ago | reply)

    Another fantastic shot!
    So clear and the colors are so crisp!
    Gorgeous!
    Thanks for the Digital Blending info.
    It will be fun to try it.
    Have a good weekend.

    Brilliant Daniel! I should try that method because my boats are always in motion! Have a good weekend buddy!

  38. david.richter (41 months ago | reply)

    Très joli mon ami! Les couleurs sont magnifique!
    Ces nuances aurifères foncées tranchent sur le ciel bleu clair.
    Je te souhaite une bonne fin de semaine!

  39. romvi (41 months ago | reply)

    beautiful composition, nice perspective

  40. vedd (41 months ago | reply)

    I wouldn't mind having my own private parking space here bro! Would be awesome indeed :D

    I don't know about ACR but I can't really get the colors that I like with it when compared to Canon's DPP. Any way with your skills, it wouldn't be any problem :-)

  41. Ash Lourey (41 months ago | reply)

    yet another great shot of that 'famous' marina!! WIsh I had something as picturesque so close to me... let alone sky like that. I haven't seen the sky in over a week and half now Horrible UK weather!

    awesome daniel

  45. 5ERG10 (41 months ago | reply)

    wow! when are they going to rename it DanielMarina?? brilliant as always! maybe i would have cropped some of the bottom and let the frame open up a bit more on the sides of the boats. but hey, a masterpiece already! ciaoo. Sergio

  46. NadeStyle (41 months ago | reply)

    Stunning as usual!

    Love your pictures Daniel, there is nothing ike them on the net!
