Dubailand

Construction, tall cranes, dust: must be Dubailand....

Overcooked?

I went on my first ever photography workshop in Dubai last year. It was a "landscape" workshop with David Nightingale (www.chromasia.com) . It was a bit odd, a dozen photographers descended on the beach and started snapping away. Dubai 'aint Blackpool, so no moody overcast skies, just hot haze. I wandered over to the nearby fisherman's hangout. The final session was on the computers - lots of post-processing, more than normal for my workflow. Are the results a tad overcooked?

Went to a charity polo match a couple of weeks ago on the outskirts of Dubai. Cranes still visible as they build another -city. The first match was with camels, which tend to go where they please. The polo games with the horses were v. impressive, great horses...

... and this post wouldn't be complete without a pic of a tall building ...
