Sharjah resident Mohd Mazin loves taking pictures in strange places, which is why he was experimenting clicking this selfie under water in Al Ain.
Visiting the Grand Mercure Hotel in the mountains is an annual family staycation to beat the heat, said Syrian expat Mazin, 34, a computer lab administrator at Sharjah University.
He said: “We go there every summer, the weather is much better in the mountain compared to the city, it feels cooler and the place is very refreshing.
“I have a weather proof camera, which is like a Go Pro.
“I tied it to my car and drove into a lake full of rain water this January. I may not be a pro, but I love experimenting with my photography skills.”
His photo is the weekly winner of the 7DAYS My Summer campaign and other top entries include the snap above by Instagram user Mytraveldiary, who captured two girls playing with water at the beach.
We have teamed up with Gulf Photo Plus and FujiFilm to offer weekly prizes as well as a grand prize of a FujiFilm XE-2 camera, 27mm lens and a leather case , which will be given at the end of the summer.
