I always wondered what Downtown Dubai would have looked like at night from bird's perspective. When I finally got a chance to fly above it, I wasn't disappointed. The amount of light and colours as well as the detail or architecture and the intricacies of the urban planning were a joy to behold.
Photographed with Canon 5dmk3 and Canon TS-E 24mm lens.
Note: I thought it would be impossible to get a sharp shot in near darkness from a moving chopper. My camera handled this difficult scene with ease.
