Lovely orangey sunset today. I was driving in Selayang when I saw a giant egg yolk through a gap between some shrubs and trees. Pulled over into a side lane and shot this through the passenger window. The roof is that of a condo in the distance. When you see the sun that low on the horizon, you have a window of 20 seconds or less. If you are driving, don’t bother unless there is a safe place nearby to stop.

Tanjung Sepat is a quaint fishing village that enjoyed a tourism boom of late, thanks to a new phenomenon. Hundreds of day-trippers flock there on weekends with single-minded purpose. The urbanites’ primary intention is to get a picture of themselves complete with thumbs-up or V-sign pose. This is due to the intense competition to post pictures of themselves camwhoring at rural settings for their Facebook or Instagram account 🙂

Past 7:30 pm, the beach at Bagan Lalang looked very dark to the naked eye. It was so dark, I didn’t even realise there were still beachcombers around. The camera saw the lingering sunset differently with an exposure of 1 second at f 1.4.
Don’t carry a tripod when you are on vacation. Make do with any solid surface you find around you. I parked the camera on some rocks by the seafront embankment. The 2-sec self-timer was used to eliminate camera shake during pressing of shutter release button.
In the background, the chalets of the Golden Palm Tree Resort (Sepang Goldcoast) extend from the coastline into the Straits of Malacca.
