1)Something blue using rule of thirds

Location: Dubai

Thing in Frame: Lamborghini Huracan

This photo was taken on my first day in Dubai. Being a car enthusiast, it is kind of disappointing how cars like are not commonly seen in Pakistan. Looking at this made me feel like a child again and I just had to take this photo.

2) Something yellow using rule of thirds

Location: Miracle Garden, Dubai UAE.

Thing in Frame: Sunflowers

Sunflowers have a certain attractiveness about them although they do not smell good like other flower kinds. This whole patch of sunflowers triggered something in my that I just had to take this photo.

3)Fill a Frame

Thing in frame: Iranian Pottery

Location: Burj Dubai

Many people would think that Dubai is all about tall skyscrapers, roads and other modern architecture.

Contrary to my belief as well,there were old market place and buildings dating back to before Dubai was a commercial and tourist hub. I spotted gorgeous Iranian pottery with intricate designs on them. One of these items is shown in the photo.

4)Interesting photo of a building from below

Building: Wazir Khan Masjid, Lahore.

Lahore is city of heritage and culture dating back to before the Mughal Empire. One of this cultural sites is Wazir Khan Mosque. The way to it is pretty congested with traffic and a busy market place alongside, but the serenity of the mosque and the history stored in the walls of it are breathtaking,

I was able to capture a photo of the mosque's dome from the inside, showcasing all intricate designs and how time has affected them.

5) Leading Lines

Location: Karakoram Highway, Gilgit Baltistan.

One of the best views I have ever had the privilege of seeing.Karakoram highway is the peak of what the human species can achieve.Stretching for about 400-500kms up to the China border, this smooth road cuts through valley's and along the foots of mountains. This specific stretch of the road is dead straight and was worthy of a photograph.

6)Leading Lines

Location: SADA Canopy,C1,NUST

One of my favorite place inside NUST.The view from this canopy in the rain is just unparalled.

A hot cup of tea and a few friends added up to me making some of the best memories here in NUST.

7)Vertical Portrait of Friend

Location: NSTP Garden

This location is the best to wake the photographer inside of you. In the fall season, tree leaves turn yellow and orange and can be shrugged off the branches to create amazing effects. I was able to capture one of the best portrait photos I have ever taken at this location.

8)Horizontal Portrait of Classmate

Location: Main Office,NUST

This photo is of my friend who recently graduated NUST, we shared a minor course once.

Convocation days are special.Working and waiting for four years in university, people hesitate to accept that they are growing up. Convocation day marks as a celebration of successfully getting your professional education and it is a day where parent's are most proud of their children.Happy moments with the family should be cherished.

9)Creative Photo of yourself

Location: Baluchistan

While on my travels to the south, we visited a sea side on the border of Sindh and Balouchistan.

I witnessed this stunning reflective effect of the beach after sunset. The color combinations was just too good for me to not take a photo. I am not really fond of taking photos of myself but some occasions call for that.
