It is hard not to be impressed by the World’s tallest building here in Dubai. Just one of many fabulous buildings. It’s like they have gathered together the World’s most impressive architects and let them loose in one place at more or less one time.
This time with the 5D Mk 3
Dubai….impressive architecture and they are still building out here….
This is not exactly what I was expecting when I opened my Dubai hotel bedroom curtains this morning. Nothing if not different!
Arrived in Dubai 3am. First images (taken using iPhone + a bit of Instagram magic):
Here’s some school girls in Kampala, Uganda carrying out a Mexican Wave when a nosey photographer poked his nose into the classroom. Wonderful children.

Some more girls form Uganda. Cheeky Girls!
I missed International Women’s Day by 24 hours but here are some young girls I photographed in Uganda a while back. So many smiles!

More fun with textures and Photoshop:
I took the background image (flakey paint) from the previous post and mixed it up with a bit of a helicopter in Photoshop.
For interesting background textures, you just can’t beat flakey paintwork….
Some of our images from Belgium…
Be careful you don’t get socked in the jaw in London!

It is always interesting to see what comes up on John Nack’s site.
Zooming in photography and video has always involved using a mechanical lens but here’s something very new and interesting – a clever system involving two fixed (non-mechanical) lenses and some very clever software. This could very much alter the way we use lenses on all cameras.
Here’s the aircraft and cars images in slideshow format
Some images and aircraft and cars I’ve come across….
