Night at sea. Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hello friends in TE,

As we were waiting for the sunset on the bridge, we spotted many boats leaving the estuary heading for the sea in Kuala Kedah. Most small boats like this will spend the night at sea and will head home again in the morning.

Thanks for viewing and have a wonderful weekend.

Hi Jusni

I know that's Kuala Kedah ... It's a a very nice shot of a boat traveling into the sunset. I guess that was a movie title, never mind. I's a very good atmospheric shot right before sunset. Well composed and executed

Best regards
Urs

Hi Jusni

The solitary boat in the fg makes a good focal point. I like the high vantage point & downward pov. Good sharpness & framing. Tfs! Bagus sekali!

Hello Jusni,
Your criticism on my photo taken with the OM2n was the reason to discover your very interesting gallery in IB's websites (TE, TL, and TN).
I used to shot with that camera for 25 years and is still working but now I use a D90.
The light management is excellent and the composition beautiful here. The film and the very good scanner gave us a lovely colorful photo.
Best regards, Vasilis.

Hi Jusni,

Just the right amount of light to highlight every thing, Nice wake behind the ship and lovely color contrast. The sharpness and details are well done, Great job Jusni.

Best regards
Jason.

hi Jusni

When I look at this view, my mind thinks of a journey and life comes to face the sea of chances. Full of expectations, hope and dream. For the fishing boat, dream of a good harvest at sea. Making a good living.

Then it is coming home to enjoy moments of life.

Repeat the cycle.

Cannot have 3 boats together splitting up the harvest? Or yes we can?

Looking closer into the photo, it is a lone boat. Sometimes in life, solo has to be. Due to competition? Selfishness? Natural way of things? We are on our own.

This is what your photo invokes me to think.

tfs, bill

Hello Jusni,

You capture a fine diagonal movement as the ship set out to cross the harbour!
Fine details in the ship, but still hard for me to figure out what kind of vessel it is...
The buildings ashore make a fine background for this nice maritime scene!

Greetings,
