You were probably meaning, 'photographically".

I, however, had the chain-saw, jack-hammer and 3-phase 450 volt supply to hand.

Now that's what I call a test

Can you tell I'm a wee bit jealous ???
Yes, photographically (my instinct tells me that I am missing something here).

Dear fellow Pentax Users,

I need your advices! I bought a few weeks ago a Sigma 300mm f4 APO Tele Macro and haven't tested it yet. Do you know where near London (West of London even better) I can find some interesting subjects to test it?

Thanks Smeggypants. I had a look at your pictures of Dubai in the 80's. You looked so...80's

I posted the same pictures at pentaxforums. But I thought that it would be nice to share those photos here as well The first 4 pictures have been taken with a MX/Velvia 50/Voigtlander 20 or Pentax 31. The other ones have been taken with a K-7.
Enjoy!

I travelled to the UAE last month and during two days I decided to visit the so called "Arabian Fjords" of Musandam.

The better (only?) way to travel there is the 4x4, you drive up the mountains, the place is arid, desertic, hostile, a few goats survive here and there. But it's worth going there, the landscape are stunning. You can imagine the forces which created this mineral chaos. You feel humble facing the nature.

And suddently, around a corner, the sea appears between the orange-brown of the stones and the faded blue of the sky.

The water of the Strait of Ormuz are calm. In the morning, only the cormorants break the monotony of the blue.

Musandam is somehow disturbing. Water, Earth, no interface. Life struggles here and it's just incredible to discover that the Humankind found a way to survive here!

But it's time to enjoy the place and swim with the dolphins, let the camera apart, jump into a dhow, say hello to the captain and let's go!
