Here are three from the Souq in Muscat, very photogenic and not a Dubai plastic souq but almost the real deal.
Aladin's Lamp
105mm Macro,
f2.8,
1/30s, AP Mode
ISO200, any more and it's grainy
Also hand on a 100mm held hence it's a bit soft :-(
Gourds
Sadly Ramadan so no meed or other beveage.
105mm Macro,
f2.8,
1/15s, AP Mode
ISO200, any more and it's grainy
KanJars
Following from Pauls :-) all in camera no PP, hence want a nifty fifty.
105mm Macro,
f2.8,
1/8s, AP Mode
ISO200, any more and it's grainy
Also hand held on a 100mm inside at 1/8 hence it's a very soft :-(
Need to get a nifty fifty would have been great for these.
Hmm another lens to add to the wish list !
Here is another three from Muscat but from my more normal enviroment.
Found Nemo
17-70mm @33mm
F5.6
1/60 sec
ISO 100
Twin off camera strobes.
When I get time I'll also post more wet and dry photos, however trust these meet the THREE criteria this month ;-)
The rest of you a few days left so get snapping, or start working on your excuses (and the "I've done it and it's in the camera" excuse will not be accepted ;-)
Comments, critique and abuse as always welcome.
Cheers,
Richard B.

I like Aladdin's Lamp and its two friends. I do like the bokeh, but isn't the shot a bit over-cropped, losing the spout off the right-hand lamp?
ReplyDeleteAs you point out, all photos are 'a bit soft' which is disappointing. Personally I'd have gone with a grainy image in preference to one that's patently out of focus. However, each to his own.
Yo can slag off all of my efforts on Wednesday night if you like!
