#4. «TheAddress»

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

My photographic interest in contemporary architecture
is becoming an obsession. Too bad for my wallet:
A full-frame camera and a tilt-shift lens
are looming on the horizon...

That, Jim, would not have been a problem: the setting sun, in this case, illuminates the building. Thanks a lot for another friendly comment of yours! ~ db.

Perhaps my favorite.
With a sunset, you might lose some of the focus on the building.

And I like the quote : You can't be a tourist and a photographer at the same time.

The problem here, K, is that I don't really know which one of the two I like better myself... BTW: *You can't be a tourist and a photographer at the same time*, is a lesson a professional photographer friend taught me long, long ago; and my experience meanwhile has proven her right more often than not, at least when one doesn't travel all by oneself. If you're not prepared to put your marital happyness into jeopardy, you might want to think twice before stating "I must be back here at 7pm, darling" ;-)) Many thanks for commenting on all my entries! ~ db.

Very nice night shot, I may like your pending image better but this is rather a question of personal taste. Keep here what YOU Like better. For me, the best one would be shot around 7pm or whatever is sunset time in Dubai?

Thank you, Shu, for your kind comment. I wondered whether I had overcooked it; therefore, I've uploaded an alternative image into "Pending":http://www.pbase.com/cichallenge/image/149961225. What do you think? ~ db.
