Photographer’s Note

Hello friends in TE.

A view of the Kuah Jetty in Langkawi with the distant view of Pulau Dayang Bunting.

Pulau Dayang Bunting, or the Isle of the Pregnant Maiden, is the second largest island in the archipelago. The island gets its name from a legend that surrounds the freshwater lake, Tasik Dayang Bunting (Lake of the Pregnant Maiden) The large lake, set in tranquil surroundings is suitable for swimming. Its waters are also said to possess magical powers that will enable barren women to bear children if they drink water from the lake.

Thanks for viewing!

Hello Jusni,
incredibly ble colour of the sky - and such a bright golden area of light! On the one hand, the blue colour seems too blue, but on the other hand, it's well balanced by the golden light below, thus making the photo look like a postcard.
I like this composition and the deep contrast: it adds depth to the scene.
best regards,
Elena

Well, this is why this moment is called the blue hour. I like the contrast between the blue tones of the sea and of the sky and the golden line of the road. The white modern building seems to dominate the scene and the distant silhouettes of the mountains add a mysterious note.
TFS,
Andreea

hi Jusni

You invest heavily on optics! 10mmFL is something I have never done, but it looks promising here for 15s exposure. The fine details of the view are not picked up but I suppose the overall view is great.

CPL for evening shot? I wonder what would the effect on the foilage?

tfs, bill

Hi Jusni,

what a splendid evening view of the Kuah Jetty. This blue is fantastic...so vast and hypnotic. Indeed you choosed perfect time of the day to make this shot. I specially prefer the building...it connects with the sky with its bluish light. The golden road is a nice accent to whole most lovely panoramic view. I wish I had time to go out taking shots like this but i'm affraid my work is rushing me lately too much.

Warm regards,
Jeri

Assalamaulaikum Jusni,
a great nite shot of this excellent island.
