The tallest tower
Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest building, piercing the futuristic skyline of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
It’s a wondrous structure which shimmers and glitters at night across the city. It was quite a challenge to fit the entire building into a frame from quite close quarters. Crouching on the ground and some extreme tripod angles were the only answer – a sweaty job in a very sultry 35C.
This is the first image from a trip to Dubai and the Indian Ocean island country of Mauritius. Further posts inspired by captures from these travels will appear here regularly.
Wow… I tried my best, but I couldn’t make a pic of the Burj Khalifa that’s anywhere close to yours in quality.
Thanks so much! Yes, it’s a devil to capture because it’s so tall. A low tripod with the camera pivoted right back was the only answer.
WOW… What an impressive photograph. When I saw it in the Reader, I couldn’t believe it fit in a frame! Thanks for all the sweat equity in this one! :-)
Thank you very much, George. It’s 2,723ft (829m) tall, so a heck of a lot to squeeze in!
Tallest tower and a great panorama! :)
Thank you :-)
