Photos: #EarthHour 2011 in #Dubai

I haven't seen a decent image of Earth Hour 2011 in Dubai anywhere on the web.

Less than 30 minutes after having taken my shots that evening, they were with a photo agency, who sat on them for 24 hours before doing anything with them, by which time it was probably too late for anywhere to pick them up.

Rather annoying really.

So here are a couple of samples for your enjoyment!

#Gigapan: #Dubai Creek

Not the clearest of days, but I thought I'd put it up anyway.

#Photos: #BurjKhalifa before and after curves adjustment @Chromasia

Practising some of what I learned from David Nightingale earlier in the week.

I've got a long way to go, but I think it's a start. All done with four curves and masks.

If you ever get a chance to attend one of David's workshops, I cannot recommend it highly enough. I was lucky enough to be able to spend a whole day with him on a 1:1 session.

David also a whole range of online tutorials available for just 25 quid a year, or 75 quid for life. Which, quite frankly, has to be the biggest bargain you'll find in photography.

You really should sign up now, before he comes to his senses and puts the price up!
