Not many changes I've seen in Doha since I left it in May 2010. I'm back here again in Doha since 9th October 2010 attached to a new company. Hopefully this time can achieve my target insyaAllah.. That is why I call it a new beginning lah.. hehehehee..
Ok to cut it short, lets have a look in this few picture below showing about Doha.
This is Doha taken on 29th January 2010, showing of the West Bay area where it held all the high rise building of Doha. The above picture is taken around morning 6.48am during one of the morning sunrise outing with friends. The above picture is taken using Nikon D3s + 24-70mm f/2.8 lens at ISO100, f/22, 1/4sec with one single shot at maximum zoom of 70mm.
Whereas below picture are taken using Olympus Pen E-P1 with kit lens 14-42mm with maximum zoom at 42mm. It is taken section by section from right to left of camera then later post process it in Photoshop CS5 to stitch it to make panorama of West Bay. Further enhancement have been done, crop & re-size it to make it just nice for the header of this travel log lah.. hhehehehehee..
The above picture is in HDR (High Dynamic Range) converted from a single RAW file using photomatix. Just ignore my old logo. I have a new logo by the way, which carry the new identity of the company to avoid conflict or misunderstanding between me & my past story. Alright.. shall we continue with the night scenery picture.. hehehee..

These 2 location are not from the same angle, as you can see from the 2nd picture, there is more high rise building coming up & fill up the area of West Bay.. Maybe next time, I should try it from the same angle roughly that I could remember from the 1st picture.
The 2nd picture was taken during the 3rd day of Eid Al-Adha 8th November 2011. It was a very clear sunny & breezing day. I was hanging out at Corniche from around 10am until 2pm enjoying the scenery & take a look of peoples behavior. Will tell you guys later of the some rules and regulations here in Doha. Which I think does not in favor for the "bachelor" (its either you are single means single or you are here alone - single package, without your family) here.. Ok.. lets see some night scenery as well that I took previously when I was here in 2010.

Both night scenery picture above was taken from the 40th floor of the Al-Bida Tower at West Bay. The 1st night scene is showing the road near Corniche (on the left) and some part of Rumaila Park and some construction site. Whereas the 2nd night scene picture showing more towards the city inside area, where you can see Ezdan Tower on your right & the Khalifa Tennis Stadium on the left & one football stadium near the centre. Both picture are HDR generated from one single RAW file converted using Photomatix. If I get the opportunity again, I will try to take from the same angle of this shot or take some few shots & stitch it to make it as panorama so that we can have a better view of the area here.. Will try to search my old hard disk of the original picture, maybe can find some of the picture taken section by section to make it a better Panorama.
That's all for tonight, my eyes is getting tired.. hehehehe.. signing off for tonight, good night, sweet dreams to all.. Good night Doha and all over the world.. Good morning Kuala Lumpur.. rise & shine..
Asinqs,
Doha, Qatar
