Image of Around the World

On TV4U is a programmed called Around the World. This is about travelling around the world. Below is the image representing the show Around the World.




The Scenery
I took this image when I had a once in a lifetime chance to go to Sharjah. Sharjah is near Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The United Arab Emirates is made up of 7 states. I wanted to take the image when it was the most beautiful. I wanted to capture an aspect of Sharjah which was beautiful and would connotate the beauty of the city. This image is of Al Qasbar. This is where all the restaurants and bars all, down the central part of the Al Qasbar is a river. This image was taken at sun set which connotates beauty. The sunset shining down on the river connotates peacefulness.
The components in the Image
At the back of the image is buildings being constructed. This, however, does not ruin the beauty of the image. The reason why I wanted to capture the buildings being constructed is because I wanted the buildings to connotate the development of Sharjah. Also at the back of the image is the Sharjah Wheel, I captured this in the image as well because I wanted to show what the tourists are attracted to. The main component of the image I focused on however, is the river going down the central of Al Qasbar. The river was so mesmerising, with the sunset reflect off it. The river is meant to connote the natural beauty of Sharjah.
Lighting
The only lighting in this image is the natural sunlight. But on the right-hand side of the image is the lights along the sidewalk.

I captured this image whilst I was on holiday. I used my digital camera to capture the image. I did not edit the image in any sort of way because I felt it did not need to be edited.
