Timah Tasoh Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Hello Friends in TE,

Timah Tasoh Lake is a man-made reservoir in Perlis, Malaysia. It got its name from two rivers, Sungai Timah and Sungai Tasoh, which provide the main catchment to it. Construction began in 1987. Completed in 1992 at a cost of RM67 million, Timah Tasoh Lake supplies water to the Perlis population as well as prevents floods from occurring in the state. The lake is 1300 hectares in area, and can hold 35.3 million liters of water. It was created when a dam was built on Sungai Korok, about 2.5km below the confluence of Sungai Timah and Sungai Tasoh.

This was shot this morning after my talk at the motivational camp close to this site. It is about 50km north of my village.

Regards,
Jusni

Hello Jusni,
Lovely and sunny landscape. Perfect exposure & light management. Optimal color saturation. Wonderful subject & composition. Everything is there but I would clone out the bird or sensor dust in the cloud. Well done. Regards. Latiff.

Hello Jusni,
I like the image but for one reason that disturbs my view into the entrance of the scene. I would have liked to have seen the mount on the right as a backdrop, and not hidden by the Big Bush, even though there are houses hidden in the scene. This would have made a much better pleasing scene of the lake and landscape surrounding its proper...

Beautiful shot, Jusni and a great note.
I like the POV with the taller hill to the right and the foliage framing the foreground. Gives a nice view of the water and that sky is fabulous. Wonderful light and color and excellent detail. This is a marvelous shot! Many thanks and warm regards,
Shelly

Hello Jusni,

This image is very nice. The colours and the sharpness are excellent. I like natural shots like this one because they show me a lot of the natural elements of countries. Good framing and capture of this dynamic sky...And yes, 80's music will always play in my ears! Thanks for sharing :-)

Hi Jusni,
Although it is man made, it qualifies as a nature picture! Simple but efficient photo with good technical parameters (colors, expo, sharpness)
Clean, honest job

Hello Jusni,
A quick view on this scenery, and you could make me believe it is in my place!
The lake, the hills and some of the vegetaion can pass, hehehe...
A simple but effective composition, with some emphasis to the lovely sky!

The sky is wonderful here but the greens in this shot lack a little impact for me, they seem a bit dull. Still, a well composed shot, well taken.
