Cyber-exhibition No.19 "Food for Thought"

 
Taking a photo of one’s dinner plate before consuming it I guess is what’s called ‘modern art’.  The inspiration behind the shot was Dr. Seuss’ 1960’s book “Green Eggs and Ham’, although on my plate has yellow eggs, black beans and fried plantain. Not such a great book title as Seuss but far tastier than his green eggs and ham!

Cyber-exhibition No.20 "Sun in the Sands"

 
‘Sun in the Sands’ was taken in the desert somewhere between Al Ain and Abu Dhabi. Here the sand dunes are so big and wide that the only way to do them justice is with a 180 degree panoramic camera.

Panoramas are tricky to take, even with a camera such as mine with built-in panorama stitching, which takes a series of photographs in successive shots as the camera is panned across a scene. The difficulty is keeping the camera in a straight and aligning the previous shot with the next. Doubly difficult in the desert where there’s no obvious landmarks to align with.  However, this is one of my best efforts.

Cyber-exhibition No.21 "Tails of the Unexpected"


It always pays to have a camera with you like on this occasion whilst driving through Sharjah. The sight of these 2 locals with their camels in tow made for a great Kodak moment. However, it’s not so easy taking a photo from a moving vehicle. Fortunately there was little traffic around so I was able to slow down enough to fire off a few shots.

Cyber-exhibition No.22 "Message in a Bottle"

 
"Message in a Bottle" was taken on one of the 200 desert Islands off coast of Abu Dhabi. It’s a classic textbook composition following the rule of thirds, adding balance and interest to the photo.

Cyber-exhibition No.23 "WaterWorld"

 
Taking photographs of architecture is pretty straight forward. However, making them attention-grabbing is the real challenge. One of my favourite photographic techniques for cityscapes is including something of interest in both the foreground and background. This picture, taken just after the extention to the Corniche demonstrates the method perfectly.  Composition is also key and you will notice I’ve balanced all the important elements here.
