Hello friends in TE.

This picture was taken on may way from my in laws house in Alor Star. A quiet night with very few people around this mosque created a photo opportunity with the tripod in the trunk.

Al-Bukhari mosque, located slightly far from town center, nearby the north-south expressway exit, big and grand.

Regards.

Jusni

Hi Jus,
What about making a postcard ha?
Great shot, maybe you have to wait for the full moon.If the grand dome is fully lighted, then it would be an astonishing shot..la. Anyway Kedah now is fully lighted with a new moon.
Thanx.

the black background let the rest to come very good.

Hi Jusni, your control of exposure in this shot is very good. This is a difficult shot, yet you've maintained good detail in the shadows through to your highlights. Colour is very good. This is often the first loss in a night shot, but I like how you've kept the colour with the transition from the warm oranges through to the blue light in the building in the back. The composition is a good symmetrical one. Nicely done.

Thanks, John

Hi Jusni,
all your photos are great really
this one is wonderful night shot with excellent exposure and sharpness
well done
regards

Hello my friend,
I like your scene, great pov and colour
the exposure levels are also good, you might have picture it a little earlier during the blue hour, but the black version is also attractive to the eye :)

Well done
Many Regards

Hi Jusni,
It's a beautiful view, extraordinarily clear and sharp for a night shot. Wonderful colours and architectures. Bravo, TFS.
Regards, José.

Excellent night shot. I like the two different light colours and the symmetry of the image. The wide DOF has ensured you have captured plenty of detail.

Jusni,

You have a really good shot here, I imagine that it was difficult to capture it well. I like the contrast between the warm colors in the foreground and the cool colors in the background with the pitch black sky. I'm surprised that the lamp in the foreground didn't cause you any trouble by burning out more of the area. My favorite dome is the one on the far right. I think that it has the best coloring, and the pink-looking painting makes it even more attractive.

Good capture,

Brian

Hello Jusni,
It is good to see another photographer who see the great value in using a tripod. I consider the tripod to be our most indispensable tool. You created a very good phtograph wiht excellent sharpness. I have stated many times before when I have critiqued mosques, that I am always inpressed with the grace and elegance that these structures have. I especially like the cool blues in the background contrasted with the reds in the foreground. Excellent!
Stan

Some problem of level of the horizon but place and light are great, well seen and done Jusni, compliments.
Ciao
