After having a breakfast like this one here and lying around doing nothing for awhile we got a bit.. bored.

So, Me and HKR decided to go out and take some pictures with our cameras. One thing led to another and all of a sudden we were 7 people packed in 2 cars going for a , I’m not sure what to call it, they wanted to go ge79ing in a sandy area Is there any better opportunity to try out my new lens? I used the 28-135mm for the most part and my friend used his Macro 100mm.

I loved using a quicker lens as it allowed me to take pictures in a more relaxed manner, I used to try to breath carefully while i click on the, uhmmm, clicker? i don’t know what its called, but it was annoying to be so careful. That wasn’t the case last weekend at all. I had a nice experience with the camera. Near the end I tried my Macro, but I didn’t like it in that setting, I think its better with objects that tend to stay in one place and do not move however my friend used the Macro and nothing else. and his pictures turned out great!

I’ve been wanting to buy a lens for awhile now, I asked around a lot and been given lots of great advices (thanks btw), But as always, I spend a lot of time in hesitation. Around a week ago I finally settled and knew what I really need. I needed to buy 2 lenses and a good camera bag to contain everything! I went to amazon and placed an order for a canon 28-135mm with IS & another canon but this time a macro 100mm. The first one will replace my current lens and its probably going to be the one I use the most. The macro on the other hand is a stone winner! it turns every dull little picture into an achievement in photography! yeah i’m sad to admit this but the camera does most of the magic.

I’m loving both lenses at the moment and been taking some good picture in the chalet (a good post with our infamous wrangler is coming up soon ).

I need to buy 2 more essential things, I need a great cleaning kit and another battery. maybe a bigger CF card too.

Here are some pictures I took while playing around with the Macro lens.

I’m posting this from Chabd right now with 2 of my friends. (Allah i3afy itaqnalogya)

Today i went with Abdullah and Ali for dinner and then i decided to buy a coconut! (don’t ask!). I like to eat fresh coconut. So my friends suggested to go to souq sharq coz we were near by.

Before heading to the vegetable market we decided to take a look at the fish market, look around & get some pics.

It was around 10:00 pm and the market was so crowded with people!

After we were done going through every fish, we went to the vegetable market and started searching for MY COCONUT

Me and Ali searched every shop! The weird thing was whenever we asked anyone about them, the answer was like “Are you kidding? Men sejkom intaw yayeen edawroon ehny coconut??”

Finally some one heard us and told us its available in Sultan Center.

This is not bread its Baqsam!

Finally we found our lovely coconut @ Sultan Center! and they r selling it for 350 Fils/Piece.

Thanks Abdullah and Ali for joining me in my search for the coconut!

I want to buy some accessories for my camera. first i want to buy a nice bag that’ll contain everything i have and will have in the future. then i want to buy a good lens with better zoom and with image stabilizer, this one is going to be a bit expensive for my taste, but oh well. then i want to buy some CHEAPER lens just becoz they’re cheap (u know i’ve got to fill the bag i’m gonna buy).. and last but not least, i want to buy a bigger CF card.. i’m not sure why i want to buy a bigger one now.. but it just doesn’t feel right to have a 1GB CF card… does it?

We went to ALQasr Hotel in Dubai, we wanted to try new things! we’re tired from the same old same old cafes and restaurants. we went there and stayed in the lobby, I drank tea and my friend ordered their marshmallow Hot chocolate… they ran out of marshmallows, so he got none.. he he he..

Anyway, I took some pictures with my new Bayotiful camera, and I would really like your input. feel free to criticize and I’ll feel free to edit your criticism

So, Mishary… does this look familiar?
