Sunset at Yong Peng

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

I went down south to Yong Peng, Johor for a site visit and meeting with my colleague about 2 weeks ago. There is a site near Yong Peng that I wanted to photograph for a long time especially during the golden hour.  And I saw an opportunity to do so as the golden hour was just around the corner, I waited for a while before proceed to the site.

I reached the bridge crossing Sungai Bekok around 7 p.m. and the sun still smiling above the west horizon. The view was fantastic, the sky was clear with some clouds hovering near the west horizon and the sun sometimes hiding behind the clouds curtain.

Preparing the camera, ISO100 was set with aperture f/9 and exposure compensation -0.7 while the camera set the shutter speed. Metering was set near the sun. The following photos are some of the photographs taken that day....

Please enjoy the photos....       

We can see the light rays penetrating the clouds and some reflection from the heavy vehicle add in  a little bit of drama in the photograph....

View of Sungai Bekok, the clear and calm water reflecting the yellowish evening sky...

As the sun started to touch the horizon, reddish colour appeared.....

This photograph was taken during my way back towards Air Hitam. After a while, when the sun hidden behind the horizon, I noticed reddish glare appeared behind the trees. In a glance, we may think there was fire behind the trees....

Thank you.
