Avoiding SALIK

Today as I headed home I tried avoiding SALIK by taking Business Bay Bridge. As I passed under it I decided to stop in the mud nearby and take this shot. It's one of the best shots I've taken. SALIK ain't that bad to think of it now!!! ;)Anyone else got any positive SALIK-related stories to share?

Very beautiful photo. Must have taken a lot of time to get down there and share your talent for all of us to appreciate.

Forgive my ignorance.

How do you take the Business Bay Bridge exit if you're coming from Jebel Ali to Sharjah through Sheikh Zayed Road?

i*maginate...Thanks...Didn't take me too long, was in my brothers 4WD. Got to the edge - set up my tripod - clicked away for a few minutes - packed everything up - got back home - downloaded pictures to pc - stitched them up - fixed a few issues here and there - uploaded the picture.... ;)

As to the actual question, well thanks to Salik dodgers, I know someone whose working hours have shortened! Beat that for a positive ha! ;)

Nice pic - definitely yes.

Nice Salik - no bloody chance. :)

i*maginate said...

stained, the description sounds like you're the james bond of photography lol - well done...I do love that view...when B Bay first opened I thought it's the best view from the top... you should head down to the festival city to get good photo ops too .. :) ciao for now

Stained said...

Thanks Bridget Jones, the lady

i*maginate....James bond :D
I've got some good shots from festival city. Only problem are those security guards that eye me like I'm going to do something wrong....Anyway what I would like is to go the roof of crown plaza hotel (apart from getting a job as a photographer)...wish I had the contacts...
