May 2014 United Arab Emirates (UAE) | Dubai Astrophotography Recce Trip
I kicked off my 5D4N astrophotography recce trip with a classic sunset shot (below) and a blue hour image (above) of Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, taken in Dubai. To be honest, the rooftopping experience was far more exciting than getting the shots itself, especially so for a first-timer like myself. And once you managed to get to the top, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view of the most populous city in UAE, which made the efforts to get to the top all worthwhile. I haven't been doing panorama and cityscape shots for the longest time and I thought there's no better time to do it again when I was at the rooftop.
The cars were removed, not by cloning them off of course, in the above image to show a near impossible sunset view of Burj Khalifa taken during the golden hour.
I didn't plan to visit Dubai as early as May initially because I know I might be going there on an assignment in August 2014 but when the news of a possible 'meteor storm'...
