Fisherman on foot Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hello friends in TE,

During low tide along the coast of Perlis, you can see fisherman walking around looking for cockles in the mud. A good catch because the price of this cockles can be rather steep at times. The place is also well known for good seafood restaurants serving freshly grilled fish and sea products to the visitors.

The shot was taken with low light with the aid of the tripod as the sun was closing down the horizon.

Thanks for viewing!

Hello jusni,

The fact that the clouds had eclipsed the sun has given you a marvellous effect in the fg of this shot..a very very good compo with wonderful colours and clarity..!! I just loved the distant mountains and the fore ground in this shot..!!

great work

Hi Jusni,

I like very much this balance composition, with the sun on the left and the small rowboat so well settled on the Thirds intersection. A lovely lighting and fine sharpness too. Excellent take!

Best regards,
JR

adores (15527) 2008-10-05 14:14

Hi Jusni!
Great sunset you captured here! I really like the light here, the colours and the composition with the boat, the net and the fisherman in background. Good moment and good exposure!

parbo (10970) 2008-10-05 19:12

Hi Jusni,
Beautiful golden tones and reflections, excellent compo-cloud-covered sun, foggy mountains at the horizon, distant little silhouette, lonely boat on the FG, textures of the water...

It has the wonderful simplicity. A beautifully atmospheric captured.
Best wishes,

jorgi (3798) 2008-10-06 2:04

Hi Jusni,

so, you captured the golden moment. :) Light is simply fantastic and with combination of mud and water its beauty is doubled. Distant silhuette gives us a feeling how far this scenery goes and gives this image accent of life. It is marvelous shot.

Kind regards,
Jeri

trekks (14314) 2008-10-06 2:54

hi Jusni

This time you are really at the sea side to find this golden glow of sunset which is most exciting for a photographer.

Because of its tone, this scene may also look like sunrise color although it is more like for a sunset. I like the style you frame this FG feature of the boat and shallow water. The reflected light tone on the water is much attractive too. The best part if the fan-light behind that dark cloud. Great work. tfs

Wow, just fantastic! I love the colors and wide vista here.. Really excellent image! Regards, Doug

zmey (7250) 2008-10-06 8:03

hello jusni
i like the mood in this one. the exposure is perfect in my opinion: nothing seems overexposed despite you shooting directly against the sun and i like the composition with the boat longingly pointing towards the sun.

regards,
kristaps

Hi Jusni,

Outstanding and just a breath taking sunset you took, The gold in the sunset is wonderful and so is the depth of this shot. Great low light shot and a great job Jusni.

Cheers
Jason.

yaya13baut (2305) 2008-10-06 11:33

Hello Jusni,
a fantastic sunset shot like I appreciate : a boat, wood sticks on water, a large horizon and a rich sky.
congratulations,
Yannis

rodgerg (24091) 2008-10-07 6:40

Hello Jusni,

A very nice sunset.

The good use of the light give very nice colors. I like especially the play of the light in the big cloud.
A composition well balanced too with a POV well selected with the boat and a great prospect too the mountains in the BG.
Congratulations
Best regards of Belgium,
Roger

Hello Jusni,

You can see the F/20 gives a wonderful result on tripod.
One of the most beautiful picture out of your gallery.
Very high quality the fact that the clouds had eclipsed the sun has given you a marvellous effect.
This is one of my favorite. TFS.

Best regards,
John.

cfreire (11647) 2008-10-08 7:31

Hi Jusni
Wonderful lights and colors. The boat and its reflections added more interest for the picture and completed the fishing's mood. Good job. Best regards, Consuelo

batalay (20940) 2008-10-08 19:59

Hello Jusni,

It is a dramatic image with the cloud completely obscuring the sun and causing a sunburst effect. The golden hues are surreal in their effect. The Nikon D80 is an impressive camera, and the photographer demonstrates unusually good skills in its use. Warm regards,

Bulent

testmaniac (12118) 2008-10-08 20:01

Hi Jusni,again very good shot! Good composition and colors! Good job my friend and TFS!

PixelTerror (86124) 2008-10-09 3:08

Hi Jusni,
A nice and well balanced composition over which the sun throws nice golden light, you have captured the rays well and the details on the water surface are great.
Have a nice day JY

Ciao Jusni,
Che terra meravigliosa la Malaysia, spero tanto un giorno di poterci venire, io sono stato in oriente nel 1986, in Thainlandia. La tua foto esprime al massimo i valori naturali della tua terra, dove il mare ed il cielo sembrano orizzonti e spazi infiniti. Bellissima la luce e magica l'atmosfera.
Saluti dall'Italia, Nino.

The mud is a good place for catching cockles. Sometimes in our country arise problems with bacteriums. The fishing then is another, the authorities behind those who do not respect the interdictions. I prefer to eat the ones caught at cleaned sand and not in the mud. But in the restaurants I cannot see anything. When I walk at the beach and find them I use to throw them to farway to save their lifes. So I would never catch them for boiling them. Every being deserves to live. Perhaps I have been a budha in a past life!...Despite all in a restaurant I do not feel responsible for the killing and eat as a normal person. But never Kill. Is a task for others. In my country people are crazy for snails. Did you know that? And in Tailand ? Best regards. Domingos

AiresSantos (42120) 2008-10-12 2:14

Hi Jusni
Beautiful composition with the boat without the fisherman.
Marvellous reflections and details. I like the silhouettes and the sunbeams
Lovely sky and light well handled
TFS and have a nice weekend
Aires

Angshu (33645) 2008-10-17 23:54

Hello Jusni
Magical light you've got here! The sun masked by the clouds provides the radiating rays which adds to the beauty. The golden colour is superb. Excellent placement of the boat to the right of the frame. This is quality stuff Jusni...superb!
Best Regards
Angshu

jmcl (13809) 2008-10-24 11:39

Hi Jusni,

Beautiful color and tone .. wonderful contrast .. wonderful sense of stillness and vastness .. great moment .. well composed .. very nice .. immediately striking and thoughtful when contemplated .. take care, John

pablominto (40712) 2008-10-27 23:46

Hello Jusni,

The golden touch of sunset makes this an attractive and soothing view!
A balanced composition with fine details, and where the light reflects so nicely off the water and wet sand...
A good imaginary diagonal between boat and the cloud that hides the sun!

Greetings,
Pablo -

jaywalker (12190) 2008-10-30 1:42

Hi Jusni, Very beautiful golden colour radiating right through this photo, there is a lovely peaceful feel & wonderful composition with the little boat nicely positioned in the corner, the horizon is striking with the mountains flowing past & a truly great sky, TFS, kind regards Wilson.
