Dubai Photography Walks

Hello everyone,
A fun way to learn more about Photography is with Photography Walks!
It is always more fun to learn something with other people that are just as enthusiastic as you are yourself. I am just about to start this seasons Photography Walks. Tomorrow we are off to Bastakiya and on Friday we are walking around Heritage Village. I still have a few spots available for both days if anyone would like to join in.
I also still have a few spots available for 13 and 14 November 2014 and 8 and 9 January 2015.
Send me an email or call me if you are interested to join. info@shippeyphotography.com Mob. 055 107 89 88
We will walk around for 2 hours and photograph every time will be a different location so you can join in all of them if you like. I already have a few bookings for all of them which is lovely. The groups are small to ensure that I can assist all of you with capturing the photograph you have in mind. I am at hand the whole time to answer any photography related questions you might have. After the photo walk you will be invited to a closed FaceBook group where you can continue to ask photography related questions if anything came up once you got home and looked at your photographs as well as upload up to 5 of your photographs that you took during the photo walk and I will critique /give you feed back on them, everyone will see all the comments and photographs so we can all learn from each other as well.
To participate is only AED 150 per Photo Walk, if you book more than 3 at the same time you will receive a discount, so each Photo walk is then AED 125. No prior knowledge of photography is needed. All you need is to have your own camera with you. Can be any camera.
Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Hope to see you at one of my Photography Walks!
Happy snapping everyone!!

Dubai night photography

Hi,
I had the pleasure to go out with 3 Swedish ladies and photograph out on the Palm Jumeirah the other night. We all met at the end of one of the outer palm leafs opposite Anantara Hotel. I have started to organize photography get togethers for the SWEA members in Dubai this was our third outing together.
We started a little bit too early but it was all nice to get together and have a nice chat only thing was its getting very hot outside in Dubai so at least I was quite uncomfortable just due to the heat and the humidity. There was absolute no wind out, well at least at our first location we swapped on the way back to another location and we had a slight breeze there.
We wanted to get the colors of the Dubai Skyline which we did in the end we just had to wait for it to get dark outside.

ISO 100 F 7.1 TV 1/80th of sec.

I shot this while we were waiting for the sun to set and it to get dark. 

The evening was not very clear unfortunately so I would like to go back to this location and photograph again another night when the sky is more clear and when its possibly cooler :)

 ISO 100 F 7.1 TV 6 sec.

This is our second location: So we saw JBR and Dubai Marina

 ISO 100 F 8 TV 6 sec.

                                                          ISO 200 F 6.3 TV 4 sec.

If you or your organization would like to take part in a photography outing with me please don't hesitate to contact me and we can set it up to suit you guys. Let me know what kind of photography it is you are interested in to take part of.  Just send me an email at info@shippeyphotography.com

I also do photography workshops if you are looking for more in-depth knowledge. 

Over and out for now.

Dubai Photography Walk About

On Monday we are heading over to the fruit and vegetable market in Dubai fo rmy next photography walk about.
I still have a few spaces available if anyone are interested to join in. Please send me an email to info@shippeyphotography.com
I went to the fruit and vegetable market the other day to check it out, and boy was I popular :) everyone wanted to have their photograph taken so it is a great place to go if you want to practice to take portraits of people. The fruit and vegetable market is also covered so you do not have the harsh sun straight from above and it also makes it a bit cooler which is very nice.
As requested from participants at my last photography walk about you now also have the ability to upgrade to an exclusive photography walk about package. Where you afterwards have access to a FB group that are exclusive to people attending my photography walk about where you can upload your 5 best shots that you took on your photography walk about and I will give you feedback and critique your images. Everyone will be able to see everyone elses posts so you will be able to learn from each other as well. For the full Photography Walk About Package where you have access to post critique on your photographs I charge AED 150, you also have the ability to just participate in the photography walk about where I assist you on the day with help of how to best capture the image you would like to capture with your camera for AED 80.
Here are some snaps I took the other day at the fruit and vegetable market.
Looking forward to show you around the area on Monday November 11.
For more details regarding time and where to meet send me an email.
See you all later!

Dubai Photography Walk About

Back by popular demand are my Photography Walk Abouts.
The first one will take place on Monday the 28th of October between 09.00-11.00 in Dubai.
I only have a few spaces for each Photography Walk About to make sure that we are a small group so everyone get the assistance they need. We will walk around in Dubai and capture its beauty as we see it. I am at hand to help you to capture the photograph you have visualized in your mind that you want to take. I will help you out with taking your camera off the Automatic mode and start using the creative modes that you have available for you. All you need is to bring your own camera, comfortable shoes and plenty of water it is still warm out there. I charge AED 80 per person for the walk about.
If you would like to sign up please send me an email to info@shippeyphotography.com
I will put together a schedule for all the photography walks and they will be at different locations so you can attend more than one if you like and capture Dubai one frame at a time.
It will be a fun filled morning for sure. I will start it off by just giving you some hints of what you should be thinking about when you photograph in order to take a better photo.

Hope to see you on the 28th of October 2013 at 09.00

All the best.
