Omega Dubai Desert Classic Tournament Day 1 2012

I had a great day out at Emirates Golf Club today. The weather was perfect with a thin layer of clouds hanging about most of the time. It did get hot though I must admit. I will definitively rethink my wardrobe for tomorrow :-) Shorts it is! Today in black trousers and a flannel shirt was a bit on the warm side....
Did any of you hear me chat with Suzanne Radford on Dubai Today 103.8 between 11.00 - 12.00?? I am sure there will be a podcast online later of it if anyone are interested to listen to it but did not have the chance to hear me live! We were broadcasting live from The Omega Dubai Desert Classic Village Area. Dubai Eye will continue to broadcast live from there all weekend so you can go and have a chat with them or just listen in. http://dubaieye1038.com
It was fun being on the radio I enjoyed that so if anyone else want to have a chat with me on the radio please give me a call :-) hint, hint!
I also had the pleasure of holding and fiddling a bit with the New Canon EOS D1 X that is not yet out on the open market. The body I was holding was the first and only one in the Middle East right now! They will be out for general sale later on in May. It looked and felt fantastic. I will tomorrow take it out for a test spin which shall be great fun.
Today I photographed with a Canon EOS D1 IV and a Canon 300mm f. 2.8 lens I borrowed from Canon for the day. It is great to be able to borrow and test and to try other products before you purchase them to see if they work for you or not. This combination definitively worked for me today I love the photographs that I took today.
Here is a sneak peak for you all of what I saw out on the course today.
 Love his facial expression.
 Another fun facial expression.

Omega Dubai Desert Classic 2012

Practice day 2 for the European Tour Golfers at Emirates Golf Club.
I have a very busy week ahead of me, yesterday I met with a lovely Norwegian Wedding couple that I am photographing today. They are getting married here in Dubai at the Norwegian Seamen's Center. I will start with taking some photographs of the ceremony then we will all head to one of the beaches in Dubai for some beach shots, once you guys see the wedding photos you will know exactly where we were :-) Just like last week I have the great pleasure of Caroline to assist me during the photography shoot! Thank you so much for the support Caroline!
Well like I started saying I met with the wedding couple yesterday after that I headed over to Emirates Golf Club to snap some shots of the golfers in action on the golf course. For those of you that don't already know that I am Swedish might understand that once you guys see who I photographed yesterday..... :-)
Since I have your attention I might as well mention that I will be on the radio live tomorrow on Dubai Eye at 11.00 together with Suzanne Radford. We are broadcasting from the Golf Village at the Emirates Golf Club. So please tune in to 103.8 if you can. We will however not talk about golf but about ARTE Souk that takes place on Friday at Time Square. www.arte.ae
