Checked out the Dubai Global Village and later spent a week staying in Deira while working across the creek at the USCG. It’s rare to feel ok shooting street in the UAE-worked out ok thanks to a super busy night market. My little Sony a6400 is turning out to be more enjoyable as a street shooter given its size and I picked up the excellent Tamron 17-70 (25.5-105) f2.8 and that’s a big step up in optics. Very sharp across the range and the extra brightness really helps when the light gets low. Edited in DXO Photolab.
