As many of you who follow chromasia know, I don't often post architectural shots, not least because there aren't any especially striking buildings in Blackpool other than the tower and the piers, neither of which are typical buildings.
While I've been over in Dubai though I've had permission to photograph the DIFC, so have made the most of the opportunity and have quite a few shots to put up. Most are HDRs (as I shot from underneath the structure) and all of them were processed with Photomatix Pro.
I'll put another one up tomorrow, but then will post some different material after that.
Oh, and as this is an HDR I haven't put the EXIF data up, but the sequence was shot with a 15mm rectilinear fisheye at f/8.0. The one I'll be posting tomorrow was shot from a similar position, but was taken with my 16-35mm, so looks quite different.
Finally: Jennifer pointed out that I forgot to mention what had caused the blur on the shot I put up the other day – sorry about that. It was taken through a waterfall.
Another fab shot from Dubai, I've enjoyed them all.

Awesome shot!!.
Una simetría perfecta, incluidos los reflejos. Siempre he pensado que los HDR en b&w quedan geniales.
Esta ultima serie arquitectónica me está gustando mucho.
Saludos

Wow, you're having a fun trip! These hdr images are great. Sometimes hdr can become cartoony and not real-looking - you get them spot on. Great in b&w - you blend them in colour then convert to b&w later?

Great shot and angle. Do you feel using HDR captures more details in the refections like in the photo?

Great series - I love the symmetry in this one as well.

Yeah - I got it right - thanks for putting me out of my misery! Loving your Dubai work - I bet Photomatix are too ;-)

I'm getting a starwars feeling with this one, I think it is partly down to knowing the scale of the object. I must admit to not knowing how the merging of these HDR works but I am going to find out - thanks

Love this as well as all the other architectural shots. But can't help thinking that is not your sole purpose in visiting Dubai. I keep picturing a Dubai wedding perhaps?
...al El Jefe- estoy de acuerdo con usted hoy dia. :)

Thanks Jennifer for double checking! Sent the link to a friend of mine in Dubai who wants to purchase the Emirates Tower print. Love this DIFC shot! Perfectly centred ;-)

These Dubai photos are fantastic. I've been a lurker for a long time, but these most recent ones have inspired me to finally comment. Keep up the excellent work.

Your Dubai work has been absolutely fantastic. This one is glorious.

Magnifique symétrie !

Now that is a very nice shot of symmetry. great job. and the discoloration works wonders.
