dubai trek - camel market

last monday's trek with fellow pinoy photographers here in dubai was fun.

paparazzis on the move. the star? a camel.

shutter speed: 1/20 secs, aperture: f/4.5, iso: 200, focal length: 18mm, wb: auto, af-s nikkor 18-70mm dx, kaiser 67mm uv filter, manual focus

everybody's eager to learn and met face-to-face with fellow members even the time of the meet is at dawn. fifteen of us went out to trek, capture and share memories and later on, to share other members from other places (as well as here).

first off, we went to a camel market and racetrack in nad al sheba.

first shot of the day. i almost got trampled.

shutter speed: 1/40 secs, aperture: f/4, iso: 200, focal length: 22mm, wb: auto, af-s nikkor 18-70mm dx, kaiser 67mm uv filter, auto focus

the place was full of... err.. camels, in caravans waiting to be either as food or winning breed for the race.

a classic camel trader. he thought the speedlight was the camera.

shutter speed: 1/160 secs, aperture: f/10, iso: 200, focal length: 24mm, wb: auto, af-s nikkor 18-70mm dx, kaiser 67mm uv filter, auto focus, flash fired using nikon speedlight sb-800

is that the same guy who almost got me trampled?!

shutter speed: 1/250 secs, aperture: f/10, iso: 200, focal length: 25mm, wb: auto, af-s nikkor 18-70mm dx, kaiser 67mm uv filter, auto focus, flash fired (wireless mode) using nikon speedlight sb-800

next stop, dhow building yard in jadaf.
