This one was taken from the same building as yesterday's, but from the 24th floor rather than the 34th, and the angle of view is about 90° to the right. Personally, I prefer yesterday's, but I thought I'd post this one too. I also have one, shot from a bit higher up the building, but I'm going to post that one on Monday.

Disgustingly gorgeous contrast. That lens is incredible, detail is kind of just pinging out of my screen..... csj

Another great shot - I'm just amazed at how little haze there is in these images - I'd expected clouds of dust from the combination of construction, traffic and the desert...

csj: yes, it's a good lens, but RAW Developer does an excellent job of extracting detail from RAW files - it's much better than ACR.
Garry: there was quite a lot of haze, but a couple of Curves can do wonders :-)

Absolutely stunning. Gorgeous details and lighting.

This is one incredibly awesome long exposure shot.

David -
This photo is INCREDIBLE! SO striking, and don't get me started on composition! Truly a marvel.
I work for a rigging company in the States (just outside of Chicago) - we move & install heavy equipment and use cranes all the time, so the building going on in Dubai is of particular interest to me. I was just Googling crane pics and came across yours. I've now going over all the thumbnails on your website. Your work is, simply, perfection! WOW!

rambohoho: no, just a few Curves to adjust contrast.

That is a great shot and title!
Stunning!
Another gorgeous shot in the series
Inredible shot! This was a dust bowl only three and a bit years ago...
Awesome!! I definitely prefer this to yesterday's. I love how each of the buildings seem to have their own personality!
Difficult to choose between the two. I like the skeletal feel of the structures here. Amazing shot, world class! :)
Loved the 1st but think this just pips it for me.
This is even better than the previous photo. Great !
Wonderful shot. Did the lights were this cold or you set it with the white balance?
Thanks all.
E y e V i s i o n: the colours are accurate.
very cool!
My god, I love this photo. The idea of all those buildings going up at the same time is mind boggling.
Very nice view! Colours!!!
I like this one.
wow! brilliant.
Stunning panorama! The thing i love in this photo are the "star lights" and the overall lighning too
Wow! incredible man!!!!
I love the simplicity of your photoblog too!!!
This is one incredibly awesome long exposure shot.
