The haze shrouding Penang Bridge gave it a diffused glow at night. At 13.5 km (8.5 miles) long, it used to be the third longest bridge in the world.

Staying Level
When one is awed by a seaside sunset, it is easy to overlook a basic rule in photography. Keep the horizon level. A tilted horizon is especially noticeable in pictures of the ocean. Unless it is intentional, make it a habit to level properly whenever the horizon is visible.
Even without a levelling gauge or grid lines, you can level by getting the horizon line parallel to the top or bottom edge of the viewfinder (or LCD).
Although an image editing software can rotate your image to correct framing error, it is better to get it correct in-camera. Each time you level with software, you lose part of the picture due to cropping
Make a conscious effort and after a while it will become a subconscious effort each time you pick up the camera to compose a picture.

Girl In The Bubble
In the background, a spectacular sunset over the Straits Of Malacca. In the foreground, children playing with bubble blowers. Some of the things you chance upon on a lucky day.
But with the sun already that low on the horizon, it meant I had only a few seconds to get the shot. I was luckier when one bubble flew towards the lens. By the way, Morib Beach now has a nice esplanade.
