Saqr Al-Jazeera Aviation Museum

Got a chance to visit it with my wife and children, we enjoyed our visit and took some photos. My daughters loved the airplanes so much, just like their father. :)

Not very good quality, cause I made a mistake by setting the HS10 on DR200 and Chrome, where in low light condition, it's likely causing noise and detail lost. Very minimalist PP, only noise reduction, sharpening and some exposure adjustment applied, and some level adjustment on some outdoor pics.

At least, I hope they worth seeing...

Shadow/highlight adjusted. Nice clouds.

Riyadh Spring Expo (Rabee' Al-Riyadh) 2011

Riyadh Spring Expo 2011, was ended last Friday, April 15th. It was a nice flower exhibition. Nice to see colors here. Here some pic of it. Light post-processing: exposure adjustment, reduce color and sharpen on most of the pic, except mentioned.

"Replica" Kindom Tower, nice idea.

This one is Al-Faisaliya Tower

Flowers in and around our greenhouse

Some flowers in the greenhouse, I think they belong to someone, kind of research. Nice flowers, still. 

Cloudy sky

Last week, weather here in Riyadh was overcast, cloudy and some light shower several times. And this is how the mosque in King Saud University looked like yesterday. Taken with my TZ3.

Exposure adjusted and shadow/highlight adjustment, then noise reduction and sharpen.

And beautiful sun rays the day before. Little bit level and contrast adjusted, denoise and sharpen.

Beach Trip - Jeddah

Still during the student conference, the organizer facilitated us to enjoy a beach trip on a boat. Initially I was interested in visiting the old city, but it was canceled, might be because of lack of interest. So instead, I joined the beach trip.

Here some pics of it. Only slight crop and sharpen on some of the pics, except mentioned.  HS10 is really convenient for this kind of activity.

 

King Saud Mosque - Jeddah

Given a chance to deliver a presentation in a student conference in Jeddah. Near our hotel (Radissonblu) is a beautiful mosque, named King Saud ibn Abdulaziz Mosque. An old and grand mosque. Here some pics of it. Captured with my TZ3 and HS10. Processed a little bit, some shadow/highlight adjustment, denoise and sharpening.
