I was testing a really interesting photography method tonight called HDR. Check out this link for some really interesting examples ( http://www.2expertsdesign.com/inspiration/85-examples-of-beautiful-hdr-photography )
I went to the mall parking lot, and then to the the starbucks. After getting a coffee, I took a bunch of shots of the Al Kout Mall from the balcony. I then went to this tower at one end of the mall and took a bunch of shots of the Al Kout Mall, then the Al Marshar Mall, then of some boats in the marina.
After walking down the beach a little, I checked out this restaurant I've always been interested in visiting. Its a shisha place (which is just like hooka, which is a water bong with flavored tobacco) that also has some food and drinks. After enjoying a strawberry flavored smoke, and a chicken shwarma (which is apparently a grilled chicken sandwich) I started reading a little. A few minutes later two cops showed up with some Kuwaiti guy.
They asked for my civil ID and wanted me to get into their cop car. After asking if i did anything wrong a couple of times and making it clear I wasn't getting into the car, they called a few more cops, and luckily one of them could speak english. Eventually I figured out the Kuwaiti guy thought I took pictures of the oil plant that was behind and to the left of the mall. Oh yea, I forgot to mention I took a more pictures of the mall from the shisha place.
Eventually I went with the cops to the police station and after showing some guy all the pictures, they let me go. I showed them all the pictures while at the shisha place when they first bugged me, but apparently the complaint had been made, and someone higher up had to verify it. I was never cuffed or anything, and the cops were nice to me, but the whole situation was pretty dumb to me.
Luckily I made it back to my apt just in time to place SC2 with Tay.
I've only been able to play with the HDR a little, but below is one of the pictures I took. (click picture to see large view)
