looking back in 2010
another year has passed and just like any other photographer, we highlight the year in pictures. as we look back, these are bits and pieces that occured for the past twelve months. it has been a quiet year for me in photography but to say at least, still was a blast.
happy new year everyone!

season’s greetings
nikon d300, 27mm, f5.6, 1/125sec, iso200
this was taken last year when im doing some test shots using off-camera flashes. i used one shoot-through umbrella as main light and the computer chair as background. i could not find any santa hat that can fit into our pet raby’s head. i’ve been naughty and decided to do a composite of the hat instead.
merry christmas and happy new year everyone!
shiba bar

it has always been busy for this time of the year. closing deals and accounts, annual reports, final pitches and other work-related stuff must be done before the new year unfolds. most of the people have gone for the holidays and parties. the “unlucky” ones usually have to take the burden to keep the ball rolling. over-ty (thank you) and last minute deadlines were part of the game.
i wish i could relax after a day’s work… probably a bottle of beer or a shot of jack in a bar and unwind with friends.
this was taken during our site visit at the meydan with my colleagues. i wasn’t really paying attention to our tour guide at that time and just keep taking photos. i never knew the name of this bar until i uploaded it and found the information. the location was dark and i don’t have a tripod when it was taken. i bumped the iso to 800 (noise was evident in the shot) and leaned against the wall hoping to get a less blurry image.

it was quite unusual to see a heavy equipment parked in the middle of the desert. this crawler was probably waiting for a parcel of land to be moved and built for a new man-made structure. dubai at that time was expanding. construction sites are everywhere and this lonely dunes of bawadi was not an exception.
