Photographer’s Note

I've taken this shot from the Burj Al Arab in Helicopter about 400m heights which is not far away from the buildings height: 321m.
Translated the name means Tower of the Arabs and the hotel is located in Jumeirah Beach where you can also find the Jumeirah Beach and the Madinat Jumeirah hotels.
The water is fantastic for swimming in the beach but it's not good for diving as everything was overthrown with sand.

Hi Edouard,

Like this i've seen this famous building never before, thanks for uploading because it's gives a complete new and interesting pov to it. the road leading towards it looks great, just as the colours, rich and deep.
Maybe my eyes fool me, but is there a small tilt in the image?
Anyway, looks great from the helicopter pov....

Regards,

Henk

Well done shot, the inclusion of the buildings in FG creates a nice depths in the image and nice classic 2/3's placement of the burj in the frame too. Well composed.

Bonjour Edouard,

Cet hôtel est impressionnant. La prise de vue permet de voir avec précision les détails et les couleurs de l'architecture de l'hôtel. La bonne luminosité met en valeur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.

It is an amazing building, a prove that the petrodollars still works, but I usually ask to my self about what is going to happen when the gas is over.

About the picture, this is a different POV of the building, here looks closer to the beach.

Best regards Edouard.

Wow.. amazing like right out od a dream. So much volume.

Nice wide capture Edouard with cool shades and hues, I like the way you have the entire building in the frame. I am sorry I couldn't write earlier since I was travelling.

Hello,

It is the first time I saw this point of view to present this tower. On an other hand, as it is taken from an helicopter, it is normal.
This building is very nice and well designed. The town just close shares with us the huge size of the tower.

Yves.

A remarkable building and a very good composition. Spectacular is just the word! fine intense colours in spite of the haze. curious how there is no separation between sky and sea.
how did you find the social atmosphere?
An excellent work.
TFS,
Donato

Hallo Edouard!
Ein wirklich imposantes und atemberaubendes Gebäude - von einem außergewöhnlichen Standort fotografiert. Ein sehenswertes und eindrucksvolles Foto - ohne Zweifel!
Aber bei diesem Anblick frage ich mich immer wieder, ob unsere Welt in ihrem jetzigen Zustand so etwas braucht...
Grüße aus dem nasskalten Westfalen!

Amazing view of this amazing building. To my eyes, it looks as if the base of the building is floating above the sea.

Hi Edouard,
An amazing capture of the worldwide famous Burj Al Arab. This image seems to get a better improvement when making the building vertical. I like beautiful tone on the facade and warm color.
Best wishes, Hisashi

smarcell (14519) 2009-05-27 6:28

Hello Edouard,

this is unbelieveble !
I had never seen it before. It looks like a toy !
I don't know what to say about it. It looks to me like a horrible object. Something like "what can be done with money ".
Very interesting anyway
ciao Stefano
