Pic(k) of the week 21: Business Bay bridge

Last week, I finally managed to take my brand-new Nikon D800 on a night shoot in Dubai.

2012 Pic(k) of the week 21: Business Bay bridge
The image above of the latest bridge across the creek was taken about 30 minutes after sunset. The 510m long Business Bay bridge officially opened in 2007 and is great place for night photography.

The four Sheiks displayed at the bottom of the bridge, are the present and past leaders of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates as a country.

I particularly like the starry effect of the street lights, achieved by using a relatively small aperture of f11. The amount of detail, especially with quality lenses like the Nikkor 14-24 is amazing.   

Image details:

I'm planning to take my new D800 really through its paces during a brief visit to Belgium next weekend. More, early June...
