Dubai, Cityscape - Nightshots: Photography 02

Can you guess where this is in Dubai??! 


Looks bustling yet magnificent right? Very well lighted. Ahhh ~ Dubai, the city of dreams.. This is yet another 'beaten' track for many. Of course, where else could this be?! It's Sheikh Zayed Road - Up close! Tower here. Tower there.

Do you still remember what it looked like from above? Here's the previous post for comparison: http://kharensarroza.blogspot.com/2012/02/cityscape-uae.html

This post was inspired by my friend. We both share the same passion in photography. This is to show that "it" can be done! Nightshots can be a little difficult and tricky but with practice, great shots are definitely attainable.

Have you got your camera too? Here's for you.


The principle here is to use long shutter speed. The photos shown are no less than 6 seconds. Use a tripod. Use a remote control if possible too. If you don't have the remote, set the camera to self timer. Never ever shake the camera (touch) when taking night shots! Keep a low ISO for lesser megapixel cameras. Set the ISO setting not to Auto. Set it instead to say 100 or 200 so that the picture will not be grainy :)

So there, have fun viewing! Let me know once you tried it, ok?
