    @Christian Andras @Mus_hus78 @Rizwanm2 @Denizzalbayrak @GauravSoni @luwaimn Thanks for signing up for this challenging drive in one of the most extreme terrains UAE has to offer. A few words of caution though: 1) Make sure your vehicle is in top notch condition, check your fluids and battery. Recovery in this terrain is very challenging. 2) Due to the nature of the terrain, you will need to push your car to the ultimate limit several times throughout the drive. If you are not comfortable please refrain from joining this drive. Moreover if you have a genuine fear of heights this drive will be too much for you to handle. 3) Make sure you have completed sufficient Fewbie drives recently so you are still on top of your game. The plan is to explore the entire area and keep a high pace throughout the drive. This can be mentally challenging so make sure you are up for this. This Fewbie+ level drive will be much more challenging and enduring than a regular Fewbie+ drive in Dubai or Sharjah area.

    Have a look here: https://www.techpout.com/best-free-monitor-calibration-software/ I usually analyse photos with my Macbook, but often at work too. So i don't have a perfect calibrated screen on hand. Furthermore it also depends how you want to adjust it to your own liking. I personally don't like oversaturated images that make everything appear unnatural.

    As a proud husband, what can i say ? From the very early stages she has understood the Carnity DNA, by mastering her own skills and at the same time supporting other Offroaders to take the journey together. Carnity has become for both of us a big part of our life, from the first year i was in Carnity she would often complain i would come home covered in sand, while now we both come home covered in sand and laugh about it every week. Her main strength is the ability to overcome any situation and come back stronger, and her ability to grasp the drive planning, support, and entire organizational structure behind the club. I mentioned many times to her that becoming a Marshal is not an endpoint, but only the beginning of many new adventures and challenges !!

    Good point, agree on the Light room as it is much easier to work with.

    Hi @Mikhail Lukichev Canon Eos 5D Mk2 with: - Samyang 14mm 2.8 - Canon 24-105mm 4.0 L series Will also do some trials with Iphone 12 Pro Max (night mode). Apparently this phone is quite capable for night photography too.

    The 3.5 Pathfinder is a great off-roader, @Rahimdad will be able to tell you all the nifty details about it.

    "not pushing the living snot out of our vehicles".... we should put this on a banner of our homepage 🤣 Welcome to the club !

    Hi @Niki Patel don't get me wrong but camping with others in the middle of COVID is not my preferred choice for the moment. As soon as our lives can go back to normal a bit it will however be on top of my list

    If you are camping in Al Qaa please take some night shots and share them as this is the darkest spot of UAE Have fun !

    Hi @Niki Patel yes i will definitely try the iphone as well. Have tried playing with Camera+ app but was confused. I will be trying Night Mode as well:

    I found this online: https://photographylife.com/landscapes/how-to-focus-for-star-photography Not sure if its helpful. I have very little experience in shooting stars, and using manual focus will take me a while too. Love to engage in talking with others and learn a lot that evening ! I have my eyes on a Samyang14mm 2.8 Ultrawide lens i might be picking up secondhand (inshallah).

    According to the Moon Cycles, @Mikhail Lukichev found out that the evening and night on 12-13 Feb 2021 is going to be excellent for night photography! We will have an almost new moon which will hide below the horizon right after the sunset. The plan is to have a meetup with max. 10 members to practice and enjoy the art of night photography and learn from each other. Bring whatever camera you have and have a look at the advisable settings in your camera manual or ask in the forum. After the event you can publish your photos in our gallery ! Location: Faqa- https://goo.gl/maps/PF1YQ8DSDwxo7QzaA There will be no need for deflation, but please bring your offroad tools as you would do for a regular offroad drive. (pressure gauge, deflator, compressor). What to bring: headlamp and/or flashlight, warm clothing, camping chair, Camera or Smartphone, tripod, film/memory cards, extra battery, Recommended Lens(es).

A tripod is recommended for night photography, but you can also be creative and put the camera on the roof of the car. Note: This meetup session is COVID compliant, hence we strictly ask all members to wear their masks, keep a social distance, and not to share any food.

    Mira community where I live are doing regular desert cleanups on the weekend. Unfortunately my weekend is filled with Carnity drives, but they collect hundreds of trash bags and work together with DM.

    Cool shots @imranaasghar81 !!

    You might have imported it twice in Gaia

    Glad to hear that ! I was not sure if this trick would work for the X as well, so that’s really good to know and I agree it makes just enough difference sometimes to get a little bit of traction to wiggle yourself out.

    First time I see Dobinsons compressors. Build quality looks good but haven’t heard or seen any reviews about them. If your budget is in that range, consider the Mean Mother compressor and Bushranger models as well, and check which warranty you get (1y vs 5y)
