This is a photograph I took this evening of Dubai from the 148th floor of the Burj Kalifa, the tallest building in the world. I wore a black shirt so I didn't reflect in the glass, and even though I angled the camera downward which degrades image quality because I had to shoot through more glass, I wasn't disappointed with the resolution upon close examination. I used a 24-105mm lens, and the settings were 1/60, f4.0, and 3200. No tripods are allowed here hence the fairly high ISO. I includes part of the building structure on the right side of the frame in an attempt to provide a sense of depth.

Jim - It's amazing, Jim. The place oozes money. Money plus. unbridled imagination has produced an incredible city. Doing a photo tour there at the end of next year.

Jim Steadman - Terrific Photo. Obviously money is no object in Dubai.
