Well, I'm not trying to capture seven astronomical bodies with a humble 18-55mm nikkor. That would be hard to do. An easier way to capture seven stars would be a few minutes drive from home. The best part of it was diong it with friends from work who shared the same nikon addiction.
Burj al Arab. The only hotel on the planet to boast a 7- star rating was a sight to behold. Although we were not able to enter the premises because we didn't have time, (time is gold, if you know what I mean) we were allowed to shoot from the main gate. And shoot we did!
A short walk from the gate passing Wild Waddi adventure park and Jumiera beach hotel (another sight to behold) brought us to an open beach right next to the dubbed luxurious beach. Actually, they had the same sand and sea water. It's the fence that defined the boundary between the luxurious price of basking and swimming and the free-for-all beach.
We spent a goot 2 hours draining batteries and filling memory cards while exhausting creativity.
The sun's heat made us decide to go the the Mall of Emirates to cool down and from there, we parted ways. The photowalk was a success and we plan to do it again.
