Thanks guys, appreciate the love :)

I didn't use a DSLR, I used my point and shoot Panasonic ZS3 (great little camera) and the timer function (no tripod yet!) for most of the shots.

The secret is a tripod or the timer function and in situations when you can't use a tripod you should try continuous shots mode or burst mode and take like 3 shots at a time and keep your hands steady.

I also notice a lot of people ignore ISO and shutter speeds, you should experiment with those and forget about the automatic mode.

This is my first (semi-real) camera and this is actually my second attempt, the first night I used auto mode and didn't use the timer function and the shots looked great on my 3" camera screen but on my computer they looked awful. The next night I tried experimenting with my modest manual mode, played with the ISO and shutter speeds and took multiple shots of the same scene and the ones I posted are the best I got out of hundred or so shots.

I used Photoshop to correct the gamma and to fix some crooked horizon lines and resized them, that's it.

Location 4 is at the beach next to the diplomatic club.

Location 6 is in the corniche exactly next to albandar seafood restaurant.

I will post more as soon as I go on another shooting spree :)
