A quest for the Arab Startup Formula - what does it take to create the most successful startups in the Arab Region? I work at EcommerceSea startup in Riyadh, trying to create the Home for Modern Saudi Fashion at Vanilla.sa - a platform for designers, manufacturers, and products that have a global appeal with an Arabic character.

Magical HDR images
Our eyes see a huge amount of light-shades, but digital cameras can save only few of them at a time. The problem is exaggerated when an image has dim spots and strong-light ones. If the camera focuses on the dim spots, the strong-light ones are too white. And if the camera focueses on the strong-light spots, the dim ones are too dark.
A solution by HDR Soft company is to take several pictures with different exposure time/intensity, and then use their plug-in to merge them. Thus, the image will have 3x (or more) the number of light shades in a picture.
The resulting images are MAGICAL. Check this guy's album of China.

Pic of Wadi Rum
A picture of Wadi Rum. One must always wait for sunset/sunrise in any natural place. Pictures like this do not come with perpendicular rays.
