Simply Abu Dhabi XII

3 0 2 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I This photograph earned Beno 2nd place in the 3rd season of the prestigious 'Spaces of Light' photography competition held each year in Abu Dhabi. It features the iconic Emirates Palace Hotel at 'Blue Hour', a short period of time that starts after the sunset and ends right before the sky goes completely black. 'Blue Hour' is perfect for architectural and cityscape photography as it reveals the glory of architecture in perfect synchronicity between the artificial and natural ambient light. Beno was scouting and planning to shoot from this location for two weeks. He took multiple photographs that were assembled into one seamless panoramic image. Post processing took one full day before the raw photograph turned into the image he had envisioned. EMIRATES PALACE - THE JEWEL OF ABU DHABI
