Two more days to go here, not sure what I'll get up to when I finish work.

Thanks :)
 
Abu Dhabi or Ferrari World? ;)

Abu Dhabi is alright.....don't think I would come here on holiday though. Not much to do. Desert ride, shopping, sun bath, more shopping......that's about it!

I am always amazed by your pictures, how do you always get such sharp pictures and such good colours? Do you do much post processing?

Anyhow great work as usual :D

Not much post processing at all. The black and white shots were obviously converted, but most other shots have some re-cropping to adjust horizon etc.

The last shot of the mosque had a bit of editing in RAW to bring out detail in the darker mosque itself.
 
Few more from a stroll near the hotel today....wasn't up for doing much...pretty knackered if I'm honest :(

Riding the Formula Rossa.....front seat.....in the dark = top 10 experience in my life! Awesome!
 
How do you get your shots so crystal clear and perfect colours?!

Even the one through the car window is superb!

Easy....shoot Nikon! ;)

Seriously though....I'm not sure....I'm just doing minimal processing, then resizing for the web.

Wow! Is that a single shot or have you HDR'd it? The colours are amazing.

No HDR. I HATE HHD, unless it's done properly which I can't do.

It was about 5 portrait shots (panoramas are better done in portrait as you get less distortion) stitched together.

Thanks

Fair enough :) I know what you mean, my attempts have been a bit gash, but I can't even get a single exposure looking like that shot yet :-(

Practice, practice, practice I think :)

Some amazing shot of Abu Dhabi, makes me want to drive down with my camera, its a pity you never got out to the Rainbow Sheikhs car collection its housed in a pyramid in the desert not too far out of town its a great place.
