Dubai shrouded in mist
Very beautiful photographs of Dubai shrouded in mist taken from high points by Daniel Chong seem surreal. And all because the photographer likes to show in his pictures not reality, but an idealized world. And he does it excellently. See for yourself!

2. Daniel works for a telecommunications company and his job involves frequent travel around the world. He currently lives in Dubai. (Photo: Daniel Cheong).
3. He says about himself: “I have always loved photography, but I started taking photography seriously after I bought my first DSLR in Singapore in 2006. At the same time, I created my Flickr profile and discovered the world of High Dynamic Range photography (for dummies, these are photos with deliberate image brightness). (Photo: Daniel Cheong).
4. The photographer then used the Digital Blending technique to maximize the dynamic range to emphasize the visual impact of light and shadow. It makes the pictures a bit surreal. (Photo: Daniel Cheong).
5. About his work, Daniel says that "I do not pretend to show reality, but only an idealized version." (Photo: Daniel Cheong).
6. And he adds that the concept of “straight from the camera” is not familiar to me. He takes several frames with different exposures, after which the resulting images are combined into a single one. And then the world around him in his pictures seems so fantastic. (Photo: Daniel Cheong).
