On the terrace by momentaryawe.com

On the terrace

I am writing this post as I’m waiting for my flight to Bangalore where I will be for the next few days shooting a 3 day Indian wedding. I will then fly back to Dubai for a couple of days and then again head back to Bangalore to shoot a second 3 day wedding. If you’re wondering how come I’m shooting two weddings in a row in Bangalore, I can tell you that there are 2 sisters getting married in consecutive weekends. While I’m sure it will be quite hectic to shoot 3 full days followed by another 3 days, I am also convinced that it will be very interesting, colourful and exciting. I am also taking a couple of days off in Bangalore to see the sights so hopefully I will have some good shots to post in the next weeks.

As for the image below, this is yet another shot I took in Bab Al Shams, the luxury resort in in the middle of the desert close to Dubai. I got there early and there was nobody on the terrace so I had the whole place to myself while waiting for some friends.

Lablung-La Pass by momentaryawe.com

Lablung-La Pass

This is a panorama I took in the summer while traveling from Kathmandu to Beijing over land. The view is from the top of the Lablung-La Pass, a pass that reaches 5050m at its highest point and where every move you make reminds you that there’s not that much air this high up.

Lablung-La Pass is about 4 hours from Nyalam, the first town after the Nepal-Tibet border at 3800m. In contrast with Nepal, after Nyalam the land becomes quite barren, but the feeling of open space is incredible. There are mountains everywhere you look, which makes you realise how small you are in the midst of all this.

I really recommend seeing the large version of this to appreciate the landscape.

Quiet night by momentaryawe.com

Quiet night

I haven’t posted a black and white shot for quite a while and I thought the scene below fits to black and white particularly because of the texture of the walls. I took this photograph a few weeks ago at Bab Al Shams on the outskirts of Dubai and at the time I wasn’t quite sure if it was worthy of a blog post. In the end, processing it in black and white changed my mind and I decided to share it with you and hear what you thought of it.

Lights on by momentaryawe.com

Lights on

As I told you a few days ago, last Saturday I went on a shoot with Dominic and most of the shots we took were of the National Bank of Dubai (now known as Emirates NBD) building on Dubai Creek.

As those of you that live in Dubai know, it’s quite an impressive building and at sunset, on a clear day, makes for a great photo with the sun reflecting from the glass facade back into the water. When we were there clouds moved in and I didn’t get a good shot of the sun reflection, but I did snap the shot below right after all the lights were turned on. I’m quite happy with the way it turned out, particularly with the actual Emirates NBD building (the one on the left) which I think has a nice 3D feel to it. I would be happy to hear what you think…

Dubai panorama by momentaryawe.com

Dubai panorama

I’m always worried when I post panoramas here on the blog because they are really difficult to appreciate as they’re too small in this format. Like before, I suggest you view the large version of the shot below. This particular panorama is taken from the top of the flyover at Mall of the Emirates and it’s made out of 7 frames stitched together with Photoshop.
