Jakarta Sunrise Photo

Photographer’s Note

I shot this view at sunrise, around 5 o'clock in the morning, in Ancol Beach, Jakarta. Never planned to take any photos, I just walked along the pavement in the beach after morning prayer, when suddenly I saw the reddish horizon. I ran back to the cottage to pick up the camera and tripod and captured it. This red-orange horizon lasted only a few minutes. By the time I was done with a few frames, it was already gone. I consider myself lucky, because I've never seen this view before in a higly-polluted city like Jakarta.

Hello Ayono
I really liked this photo of yours ... I liked the gradient of colors in the sky ... palm trees ... nice shot
Sarju
PS: I was in a similar situation once .... I was coming back to home from university when I saw northern lights in the sky ... it does'nt happen that often in the part of canada that I live .... but I decided to just stay outside and enjoy the lights rather than running to home getting the camera and taking the shot .... as I knew that I would have missed the good part
ciao
