Shooting in Lebanon!

Whoa! It's been like a month or so since I've posted anything here, this is because I've been extremely busy with a couple of things.
I finally found a chance to sit at home and do absolutely nothing, which means a new blog post :D I think I'll have to thank the weather for that.
The title of the post might give you the idea to go and stock up on canned foods and candles but no, nobody is going to shoot anybody (at least I hope so!). The only shooting I'm talking about is with that "real camera" I've been talking about for ages, which I finally got two weeks ago after a long long research on many forums (and annoying the hell out of my friends). I think I'm really getting into this thing, photography is awesome, I still have a whole lot to learn tough!
So without further ado, meet the first few pictures I took with my Nikon D5000!

My first attempt at bokeh, this is our chandelier



My Keyboard



My Mother's Bemyeh In The Making :D

 

Oranges in our fruit basket




Some pomergranates on our kitchen table



Byblos shot from Al-Maaisra





Mount Lebanon from Manara





Saint George and Ain El Mreysseh area, I first wanted to crop the picture but decided to leave the people (and the bullet ridden Holiday Inn) as they add that unique life in the Corniche to the picture

I was planning to go to Byblos and Batroun this weekend to shoot more before it started raining cats and dogs so for now I'll stick with these pictures :)
