Untitled 200812055

This is one of my favorite photos, not only because of the amount of care I put into the HDR post processing (compared to the rushed editing of the other ones) but because this is one of my favorite places in my hometown, Damascus, the oldest continually inhabited city in the world.

The Young King

There's very little to say here. It's the most favorited of all my deviations, and the only that received most comments.

And it's the most adorable, and most spontaneous, and probably the luckiest photo I ever took. I couldn't even look into the viewfinder. It was a one-chance deal, and I am glad it turned out like that.

To think I could achieve this on the Canon S1 IS when I couldn't even do anything similar with my Canon 450D now just proves to me that the best photos are the ones where you can't ever replicate through natural means.

d'oh

There's nothing absolutely phenomenal here. The other lionfish deviation is technically better and is clearer, but there's just a certain charm about seeing a smiling - no, laughing! - fish.

And did you notice its baby teeth? It's almost human!

Critiques


I agree with =thetopcrusader, what differentiates this from other spirals is the strong contrast between red and white, when other spir...


Are those your wishes? It seems though! I think that the deviation is great. The colors match well and the gradient change from orange...

Though quiet most of the times, I am a fun-loving guy who enjoys nature as much as a thriving metropolis. Living in Dubai I get much of the latter, which makes my moments with nature special and spiritual.

Like many people, I do my best to find beauty in everyday things, and being on deviantART has exposed me to wonderful people with their unique perspective on how to view life.

And that's a blessing!

People You Inevitably Meet in the Gym

Journal Entry: Sun Jun 28, 2009, 9:29 AM








There are streotypes about almost everything in the world, but, let's face it, some things are stereotyped for a reason: They're only "politically correct" short of being facts.



The list below presents some of the people you will inevitably meet in the gym. If you have more to add, please do!






Ms. Cleavage







post-cleavage


There is no doubt about it: It's probably the number one reason why men are in the gym. Namely, it's the number one reason why they tend to do cardio - because she is doing cardio. No one will ever get her, not even the most well-defined muscular guy. To us, she is a Goddess. To her, we are nothing but white noise. The worst part of all, is that she knows it.









Mr. Muscle Man







post-muscle-guy


This guy eats his mom for breakfast. There is a whole range of men - from the flabby to the very fit - but this guy has tried every hormone and every protein shake to date. He's your ultimate source of info (whatever he says, don't do it), and the best guy to call when that barbell is gonna topple over.









The Ghost







post-ghost


For girls, it's a guy, for guys, it's a girl. The Ghost refers to a gym member who you can see enter the gym, but suddenly disappear. They're no where to be found, not even in the locker rooms. They're probably in a secret workout facility - that's when you suspect that your "premium membership" isn't quite as premium as you would have hoped.









The Loser at the Treadmill







post-loser


It's also a phenomena if your gym sports a lounge, seating area, or PC terminals. The Loser just happens to jump on the treadmill/sofa/PC next to you, only to strike up a conversation a couple of minutes later, and asking you to add him on Facebook. And when you don't, he would ask why the next time he happens to bump into you.









It's the 50's







post-gossip


This is a group of women who work out for 10 minutes then spend the rest of the hour or two gossiping in whatever clearing they find. They discuss everything, from The Ghost to Ms Cleavage to their husbands to their idiotic maids or children. To avoid talking about each other behind each other's backs, they all leave at the same time.









The Woman You Thought Was a Man







post-gym-woman


Ever had some tough weights to lift, and you go ask for help, and when the person turns around, lo and behold, it's a woman? Yes. She's usually a bit short, sports a boy cut and is quite muscular (for a woman) and can carry as much weight as any guy in the gym. She's definitely not one to get upset.









The Hijabis







post-veiled


The Hijabis are an interesting bunch of girls. They're always in their 20s, and almost always come in packs. If it's a single Hijabi attending, she wears dark colors. If it's two, they were moderate colors. The larger the group, the greater the variety in the clothig. They're almost always occupying cardio, or in the stretch area carrying small weights, all while gossiping about something. Then post-exercise they replace the "It's the 50's" group in the clearings.









The Guy Who Know's He's Too Hot







post-hot-guy


This guy is worse than The Loser. He knows he's too hot that even guys ogle at him, and hence he's the most snobbish person in the gym. If you ask him for advice to get his great physique, he replies in obscure monotony. If a girl makes a pass, he ignores her existence. He's after Ms Cleavage, who is also unaware of his existence. It's the battle of the egos.









The Water Cooler Attendant







post-water-cooler


There are two types of people who attend the water coolers: Sweaty men with bulging biceps and panting women with tight asses. The former usually target incoming ladies; he pulls out a plastic cup, fills in water, and drinks like it's his business, all while flexing. The lady attendant, on the other hand, is almost always busy leaning down to tie her shoelaces. You'd think she's making braids when you visit the cooler for the 6th time during the hour.









The Groovy Personality







post-groovy


It's usually the overweight people who can be quite jolly. The woman walks in - loved by everyone - and yells to everyone at the gym "how's it shakin y'aaaaaaaaall?!". She has so much self confidence she can pole dance without a worry in the world. She's got amazing stamina but just can't seem to lose weight.









The Guy With Severe Fashion Issues







post-tight-short


This guy needs to buy new training outfits. He turns up always with a really, really tight shirt you can actually see the skin pores, and, more disturbing, a really, really tight swimmer's shorts, with no underwear, and if your eyes are not skilled enough to avoid the nether regions you will be scarred for life.









The Narcissist







post-narcissist


This is the person who, in the locker rooms, takes his/her clothes off slowly and deliberately, making sure everyone sees their bodies and curves. After a shower, they admire themselves in the mirror for prolonged periods of time. They check their newly upgraded bodies, their face, any new zits or freckles or left over lint. Then they smell their armpits, and carefully deodorize it. Then they blow-dry their groin (yes I saw it happen), and put on their well-ironed and well-folded clothes, also slowly and deliberatley. Then they pamper their hair and face and put on aftershave and whatever. It takes them more time to groom than it takes them to work out. To them, they're the only people who exist in the gym.









The Hopeless







[hopeless to provide an image]


They're a peculiar bunch, a category I belong to. The Hopeless are people who have been going to the gym while getting slow results (gain or lose weight). We're hopeless to strike a conversation like The Loser. We're hopeless to be groovy. We're hopeless to have an ego war with Ms Cleavage or the Guy Who Knows He's Too Hot. The only reason we go to the water cooler is to drink, and we don't have people to socialize with - for us, gym is a business; you walk in, pump iron, and walk out. For a hopeless cause.
