My photo collection

for everyone

Although My OPPPS family have agreed to go to Abu Dhabi that Friday but my main purpose was to see a my former boss in Brunei who arrived Thursday night. I thought it will be a good idea to show him around the RED BULL AIR RACE competition but seems he's not interested so we visited this grand mosque.

There are lots of crowds around the area hence quite tough to do your composition I was just lucky to be blessed with beautiful cloud before sunset.

Enjoy and your comments for improvement will always be appreciated.

no..it's allowed to take pictures inside the mosque. I just failed to bring my tripod. Those ladies wearing the black robe are not necessarily Muslims, they have to wear it upon entering the mosque.

Salamat naman sir sa pagbisita. Actually, na distort ko eto ng konti using LENS correction from Photoshop.

anong picture eto sir, parang mali yung setting ko ah. He he he.

South Wall sir

royramos wrote on Apr 13

well if ur settings are wrong, then I dont wanna be right hehehehe ganda nga ng exposure

ceslou wrote on Apr 13

I guess the setting is not supposed to be F/3.2 , I should have used a smaller aperture (higher number, just in case you forgot), I also forgot to return the ISO to 100 after shooting inside the wall.

ganda ng buong set sir... kuhang kuha yung intricate details.

Salamat Ma'am Rosey. I was browsing your page and was surprised, asawa mo pala is Ximo. I have yet to buy the book in June, uwi kasi kami. Have browsed it from a friend's book rack and my wife was impressed.
