Artist's Comments

One of my favorite shots from Langkawi - this was at a different place called 'Mutiara Burau Bay Resort'. As the name suggests, it was a much more 'resort-ish' place and I wasn't that keen on it, so the next day I moved back to Tanjung Sanctuary. But not before spending a stunning afternoon/evening on the local beach watching a simply staggering sunset. No filters were used on the lens, and no filters were used in photoshop. I also left this photo completely unsharpened.

(I wasn't sure whether to file this under 'waterscape' or 'sky', but eventually went with sky.)


Lens: EF 24-70mm f/2.8L

oh wow nice set. yeah i think if you use filters on it you would loose the nice orange glow thats so natural in it. i usually compare the fixed levels image to the non-fixed levels to see which one looks more real/beautiful. wonderful shot though!

Hi Miriam - thanks very much for the kind comments! I took this in Langkawi, a small-ish island off the coast of Malaysia. I was there for 11 days or so, back in January. Truly a remarkable island which I hope to go back to one day. :)

Thanks Nabi, appreciate the comment! I've been living in Korea since 2001 so getting out to a much more tropical place like Langkawi and seeing some pure sunsets again was so good. Glad you like the shot and I agree with your thoughts on filters. I've uploaded a photo ages back, in which I used a graduated pink filter in front of the lens - interesting effect! All other photos I have uploaded here are filter free, or occasionally I screw on a circular polarizing one.
