We were in Marina crescent on thursday for the GulfRun event. There was a car show and a lot of really cool cars on display. I didn’t know it was an annual thing and that this year is it’s 4th.

“The GulfRun was first created in 2005 by a group of young Kuwaitis’ who wanted to practice car racing in a professional and secure environment. They wanted to avoid street racing, reduce car accidents, and prevent spreading fear among public, therefore, they rented the world renowned Bahrain International Circuit to be able to achieve their goal, strengthen their driving skills and learn the capability of their cars.

Three years later the GulfRun has evolved into an annual friendly racing competition. Under the guidance of professional-racers and instructors, racers are able to push their cars to the limits in a regulated and secured environment. At the Bahrain International Circuit, full safety will be emphasized as multiple instructors will be present along with a full safety staff, commonplace in F1 races.”

I just placed my order with Amazon which contains the folowing:

Lenses:

Canon EF-S 55-250mm ( I will try this lens for the first time but i read about it a lot of positive comments)

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro ( This lens is a MUST! )

Sigma 10-20mm ( I tried Yousef’s lens which was AMAZING ! and also i’ve tried Ahmad’s Canon wide angle one but i liked the Sigma one coz it bend the objects less than the Canon plus it cost less.)

Accessories:

Canon Lens Hood

Bounce Diffuser

Canon Remote Switch

Gorillapod SLR-Zoom Flexible Tripod

Anyway i just want to thank Ahmad & Yousef for letting me use their Lenses :)

 





We went to Alwafra on friday where our friend rented horses for us to ride for an hour around the farm. As much as I don’t care for horses, I ended up having fun and the hour went by pretty quickly. Right after that we went to Alwafra’s veggies Market. It was more like the friday market where everything is being sold from animals to plants to veggies.

I’ll let the pictures speak for the rest of the post now.

The sunset was absolutely gorgeous yesterday I had to stop the car and take some pictures.

We went back to ALThuba3iya Runway and saw some pretty neat 3D action. I think it is called 3D because the plane floats in the air, suspended, and feels like there is a little invisible thread keeping it up in the air. Or they call 3D for a completely different reason. I don’t really know.

The ‘Great Kuwait Sunset Challenge‘ has been launched a few days ago by our fellow blogger, intlxpatr. If you have good sunset photos and you wanna participate in this challenge, you can do so by sending her an email and she’ll post your pictures and we’re all gonna vote, somehow, and she’ll decide which photographer has the best shots.

I’ve learned that photoshopping an image is considered cheating, and I also learned that I don’t have a single good sunset photo! except the one above, but that is photoshopped to death, so..

I will try and take some pictures of sunsets. You do so too!

For more information on the challenge or if you have a question, go to intlxpatr.

Few days ago i got my new mini studio, and since our electricity is similar to the UK’s i’ve decidedo to order it from Amazon UK to avoid any of those bulky converters, and today i decided to assemble it.

What surprised me was that it came with a bag! so its portable! yousef ya3ni agdar ayebaa 3endekom sahala :P

and here it is fully constructed :)

It costs around KD 36 (KD18 + KD18 for shipping with Aramex)

Here is the LINK if you’re interested.
