Even the cranes and the construction are dressed up in Christmas lights :)

Now thats a lot of cranes. They say that about 75 % of all the worlds cranes are in Dubai at the moment, now thats what I call heavy construction. :-)
Claus Petersen @ 2008-12-19 16:53:10
Splendid construction... Excellent realization, but the most podobaja me oneself light reflexes...
beanow @ 2008-12-19 17:01:19
I just can't tell you how much I love your pictures. I love HDR photography and this is the site for it. Perfect shot. amazing light and detail.
João Mourão @ 2008-12-19 17:06:14
stunning picture John!! I love the soft light coming from the windows.. great night shot... here the cranes are dressed up in Christmas lights :) have fun on your hike! hope the weather is good!
Elaine- @ 2008-12-19 17:21:23
WOW! Where do you find these incredible construction projects. And they're still going on..in spite of the economy's woes?!?!? Wonderful image. Love the twinkling lights..and the night sky. The water has such a soft velvety feel. Peaceful..in the midst of a busy construction site!!!
Marcie @ 2008-12-19 17:47:20
Just massive. the "hive-like" detail here is intense. I'm reminded of my favorite toys of childhood - The Transformers. Your capture makes me think this thing could recollect itself and walk away. Very nice!
Chris Cardelli @ 2008-12-19 17:48:34
Indeed. The atmosphere is awesome -- the effect is a little horror-movie creepy :) love it.
Joe @ 2008-12-19 18:53:46
Yet again I am in awe. Your HDR work is second to none. It's not just the processing but the subjects you choose.

I am both inspired and frustrated but I think thats the best way to be, you are making me try harder!

Silas Collins @ 2008-12-19 19:43:04
How could cranes and construction be so pleasing to the eyes! Just amazing, John.
Ginnie @ 2008-12-19 20:08:20
I love your construction site photos. They're so surreal.
613photo @ 2008-12-19 20:45:42
Amazing detail and incredible scale you've captured John - brilliant twinkle and glow of the lights - especially of the cranes towering in the night sky!
Kevin from OrganicPIX.com @ 2008-12-19 20:57:45
les quartiers de Santa Claus pour 2010
lasiate @ 2008-12-19 21:02:20
yes this is a really cool site - or you make it look cool. it's fun to see your progress shots!
michele @ 2008-12-19 21:10:23
my, my.. that's a lot of cranes.. they're working really fast.. must be scheduled to open this summer.. :) love the clarity and crispness in this one.. the details are just superb.. nice work.. :)
Rian @ 2008-12-19 21:16:12
I really like he color/temperature of your lights! And neat reflections.
Nick @ 2008-12-19 21:18:35
The site is certainly growing, the lighting is superb, I look forward ot following the growth of this building through your stream
JJ @ 2008-12-19 21:59:25
Hey John another great one!
Wishing you Merry Christmas, it has been great year full of great images of yours. All the best, and I will see you around.

Anna :)
Anna @ 2008-12-19 22:46:00
Awesome details, I know its been said before, but those cranes are cool. They give me some cool associations. Excellent work!
Ivar @ 2008-12-19 22:54:05
Lavishly presented, such incredible processing that really brings your images to life, John.

The lighting here is exquisite and the detail simply awesome
EYES WIDE SHUT @ 2008-12-19 23:43:27
The array of cranes and lights reminds me of an assembly line in an automotive plant. Impressive detail and composition; great shot.
Sean @ 2008-12-20 00:04:48
This building is really coming along. Another stunning angle of this structure.
Mike @ 2008-12-20 01:28:50
such excellent tones on this HDR photo. the lights sparkle very well!
Liang @ 2008-12-20 02:19:27
John, another stunning work ... like the clearness in the captuere. One day .. i hope you show us your secrets. Have a nice weekend.
klaus @ 2008-12-20 05:05:39
depuis que j'ai croisé tes photos de grues, je ne les regarde plus du tout de la même façon, je les trouve d'une grace que je n'aurais pas soupçonné...je n'ai pas encore testé de les photographier mais cela se fera un jour j'en suis certaine
mangifique photo!
aurore @ 2008-12-20 05:19:11
A fine night scene. Your exposure seems spot on to get the lights nicely controlled and still pick up the ambient light of the setting. Well done.
don @ 2008-12-20 09:55:02
another amazing work, like atmosphere and lights, nicely done ...
Mohammadreza @ 2008-12-20 10:29:06
Another wonderful capture. Your night images make me drool.
Toni @ 2008-12-20 10:50:49
It is beautiful! Very industrial and a bit like something out of a sci-fi thriller!
martie @ 2008-12-20 10:58:18
Awesome, I so want to get into HDR, just beautiful.
Bob @ 2008-12-20 12:10:33
industrial stars! well done again
elaine @ 2008-12-20 12:19:41
fabulous detail of course! the fact that this site is at the water's edge is a big part of what makes this worthy of your vision john :)
robin @ 2008-12-20 12:24:41
Wow. All these lights floodlighting the dark night. Very beautiful shot with many details and reflections. Another great work, John.
Giorgio @ 2008-12-20 12:43:27
That is another wonderful use of the lights. I think I like the colours in the water most of all.
Michael Rawluk @ 2008-12-20 12:50:54
Constructions, Constructions, Constructions! :) Nice image...
Sumedh Prasad @ 2008-12-20 13:07:03
Fabulous, the lights are sparkling like the stars in my Christmas tree,
wonderful colours, you are truly a great photographer, thanks for this joy you give me, to just look at this picture.
Astrid @ 2008-12-20 14:27:31
somehow, the added levels have enhanced the beauty of the structure. can watch this shot all night long, great work John. you should prepare a tutorial for all of us on how to create such beautiful night HDRs
Ankush. @ 2008-12-20 14:27:34
Fantastic tones and lighting. Great atmosphere and superb processing.
NarB @ 2008-12-20 14:32:27
Excellent excellent shot of a series of great photos! I love it - well done!
Avi Revivo @ 2008-12-20 15:59:06
It's funny, John - with the giant cranes and light and open frames - it looks far more like a refinery than a casino. With the economy the way it is - they might as well just stop and call it art! Nicely done!
Stephen Phillips @ 2008-12-20 18:15:03
It amazes me how they work on this structure around the clock. Beautiful lights and reflections on the water.
sherri @ 2008-12-20 18:51:43
John I can come to this site and know that you will always bring the heat! Absolutely beautiful work! As always! Keep up the good work and I will keep following!
Raffi @ 2008-12-20 20:01:27
You can make anything look good. I'd bet the people working there would be impressed by what they were building. Gorgeous. Great detail. Great light.
Michael Paulison @ 2008-12-21 03:10:32
I really like this series. Looks so professional and cold but in the other hand I see your passion for photography in it. Nice job.
Csaba/EyeVision @ 2008-12-21 05:14:33
Wow, just amazing. I love the subject, I think industrial scenery has something very attractive and can be beautiful - as we can see. thanks :)
Joanna @ 2008-12-21 09:31:08
Great shot.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Ashish Sidapara @ 2008-12-21 10:02:18
amazing shot!
Olivier Jules @ 2008-12-21 10:13:36
This is absolutely impressive! Almost a sci-fi atmosphere in this image. Great work John!
Giovanni @ 2008-12-21 11:02:12

Regards Ade!
aadesanya @ 2008-12-22 07:45:42
It is a construction site but you have made it look majestic - a castle on the river. Amazing night imaged...
daina @ 2008-12-22 10:22:50
That's a pretty interesting concept...not only will you have stunning pictures like this but you'll have a history chronicling the construction of this building. Nicely planned!
Hess @ 2008-12-22 10:30:40
perfect captured image
yiannis krikis @ 2008-12-22 11:27:21
Amazing and other-worldly. A huge spaceship? The cranes seem to be dancing.
Mindy @ 2008-12-22 12:07:51
This is just amazing.
Laurie @ 2008-12-22 13:05:10
beautiful light, John.
Otto K. @ 2008-12-22 13:09:29
it s really surreal, i always think to a marine landscape ... a huge boat
vera @ 2008-12-22 14:02:59
Amazing Sci-Fi feel to these cranes! Nice shot!!
Andy @ 2008-12-22 14:12:21

Great processing to bring out all that brightnes yet maintain the dark areas. The geometrics are great.
harry @ 2008-12-22 15:52:43
Again such an impressive shot. I like this area as well. Starting to feel attached to it. Keep us posted about the progress ;)
Ilger.nl @ 2008-12-22 15:55:17
Will they finish it now we are all in recession I wonder? Great shot John, thought I'd seen this site before
bill Phillips @ 2008-12-22 16:15:55
Your night shots are amazing John. There is so much to look at here with all of the small details throughout the image. Very well done. When you do the long exposures are they done Mirror up? They always are so nice and detailed. :)
Tom Sheehan @ 2008-12-22 16:35:30
Again an excellent night shot with wonderful details and lighting.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Reiner @ 2008-12-22 16:40:03
That is a busy building site! All those cranes! And these lights are just perfect! They could just continue building at night with so much lamps :)
Arjan - PlasticDaisy @ 2008-12-22 17:20:24
What a beautiful night shot ! It's so crisp and the lighting is perfect !
namaki @ 2008-12-22 17:20:54

This is an astonishing picture, it sparkles with light and teh detail is superb.
Ellie @ 2008-12-22 18:34:42
Great work, again. First it seems to be HDR, but there is no differnce to see! You are a magic behind your cam, well done!
Nicki @ 2008-12-22 18:47:38
Fantastic work here!
Stunner @ 2008-12-22 20:02:54
The construction site does make for some awesome shots in the hands of the Master. Fantastic John!!
Terry H. @ 2008-12-22 20:58:43
Tient donc, je croyais avoir fait mon commentaire sur cette photo...
J'aime les grues qui voltigent par dessus le chantier et leurs lumières qui brillent comme des lucioles.
JMS @ 2008-12-22 21:36:10
What a magnificent shot !! Very nice post processing, as always !
Merry Christmas and good new year to you and your family.
One @ 2008-12-22 23:41:12
A silver night. Nice the line shining "stars" on the building
Oeilonirique @ 2008-12-23 02:50:08
Fantastic shot. You've made of this construction site a Christmas ornament!
standley @ 2008-12-23 02:58:16
Nice night shot. Almost Christmas lights… :-)
Calusarus @ 2008-12-23 03:59:09
Magie de la fée électricité reflétée dans les eaux !
petitlouis @ 2008-12-23 04:41:38
Simply beautiful... I cannot imagine what it will be when they will finish it! (-:
Cranes gives to the pic a soft movement in contrast with the strong structure of the building and the sea reflect the lights giving to the all pic a sense of shining. Congrats!
Leila @ 2008-12-23 04:52:48
great clearity
Chantal @ 2008-12-23 05:53:27
Ce ballet des grues en arrière plan est formidable !

Como siempre, espectacular, John! Magnífico en todos los sentidos!

Alex Caballero @ 2008-12-23 15:42:27

I can only say: FANTASTIC IMAGE.
Did you shoot multiple exposures to construct a HDR image?
LightningPaul @ 2008-12-25 16:41:04
Outstanding lights, cranes, action behind this still picture. I like it !
