few months ago, i took a self-portrait driving towards the petrol station for a car wash. this was one of sessions i’ve been doing for another timelapse project. mounted on a tripod at the back, i set the camera on a continuous shooting mode for countless number of frames. white balance, focus, aperture and shutter speed were set to manual.
i felt i was lost in hyperspace. time flew so fast!

there are times that you can’t/want to bring your bulky and heavy dslr on a daily basis. chances of taking a nice photograph; let’s say a nicely presented food from resto will be a missed opportunity. and most of the time, i take snaps of my food before devouring it.

once again, we were able to visit to the dubai museum. located at the heart of bur dubai, the fort turned museum showcased different dioramas of life in dubai.
it was fortunate for the tourists to take pictures during the visit and advantageous for me to handle such low-light conditions. inside the dark corridors, we saw one of the life-like dioramas. the wax figure of a boy portrayed was selling dates and trying to attract customers. due to low-light conditions, i bumped my iso to 3200, leaned against the wall to get a steady focus and captured his sinister smile.

the days during summer are getting longer and so was the time spent in the office. as mentioned before, i have been very busy with my work and extra curricular activities were affected. sometimes, i managed to get a few clicks around.
it was almost 7:30pm when i took the busy streets of karama and monoliths of sheikh zayed road from our office window. mounted on a tripod, i set the camera on a continuous timer setting before going back to my pending task.
