~PARADISE~ Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This picture has taken in Pasir Panjang (LONG BEACH) Pulau Redang, Terengganu.

At the end of October the monsoon started to comes in and now what is left in the island is the people who lives there and people who work there. That really means there will be no tourist anymore. Sounds perfect for a very relaxing place to be. It makes me felt I have just taken ownership of the entire seaside.

During the monsoon season there will be no flight to this island until March of the next year. There will be boat service but if the sea is too rough, one may get to stayed in Kuala Terengganu just for another night.

Kind of lucky enough as when this picture was taken the monsoon is a little late.

Hi Adam,
first of all i'd like to congratulate you for the title. It tells every thing about your shot. The POV , you chosen and the composition over all conveys the feeling of peace and calmness through out frame. Only thing IMO, the frame may be shot at slightly under to get the full drama of the sky.

regards,
sumit

hi Adam

Amazing pattern of the clouds that you have captured here, really rare to see the full stretch over the blue sky.

I like this clean shot, very crisp and a wonderful scenery from this POV. Not easy to shoot in mid day light but you managed very well for this one.

Very nice beach view!

tfs, bill

Hi Adam,

The different tints of colors of the sky and of the sea are assets to the composition. The point of view takes our eyes toward the horizon whgich is giving depth to the photo. The rocks and the trees are framing well the beach. The intensity of the light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.
