Dubai Traffic

Dubai Traffic as seen from Sana fashions signal, with the Dubai Metro, Etisalat building, Trade center, Emirates Towers and Burj Khalifa in the background.

Possibly the most common sight in Dubai -- the tail lights of several cars in front of you, that is. :)

Post-processed in the GIMP, using some of the GEGL Black & White Conversion Method I've outlined here, while keeping th original colour layer, adding in some more on top and generally freewheeling it until it looked right.

Wow ... I need some tips on how to select appropriate PP for Photos. I can NEVER decide what is right enough.

Heh, damned if I know!

Heh, damned if I know! Mostly I've found to do what you feel looks right, then dial it down by 10 or 20%. :)

Hi.

What a photograph! Even though you tweaked it a bit, I think the picture is very convincing.
What really strikes me about it is the perspective. And the vetor lines defining distance and height in a metaphorical manner. You know the long curve of the road and the colour- red, grey, white- and the curve of the building in the background. Perfect.

:) Keep clicking!

Regards.
Neo.

Thank you! :)
