At dawn later, fasting begins for Muslims observing the month of Ramadan.<\/p>\n<p>As a non-Muslim, I look forward to joining my Muslim friends for &#8216;breaking of fast&#8217; meals on some of the evenings ahead. I try to fast on those days to make it more meaningful. Not always successful but I try. There will be many bazaars selling all kinds of food and I hope to share some of these images with you.<\/p>\n<p>Photography Notes: The sun is so powerful that even with an 8-stop ND filter attached and at 1\/4000th sec, it was barely enough to reign in its intensity. I was using a mirrorless camera with an electronic viewfinder. Never look at it directly or through the optical viewfinder of a d\/slr. It can damage your eyes permanently.<\/p>\n<p>Olympus OM-D, ISO 200, f16, 1\/4000 sec.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ramadan_sun.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7375\" title=\"The Sun Sets Over The Dome Of Gombak Mosque: Ramadan Begins\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ramadan_sun.jpg\" alt=\"The Sun Sets Over The Dome Of Gombak Mosque: Ramadan Begins\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ramadan_sun.jpg 1080w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ramadan_sun-113x113.jpg 113w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ramadan_sun-169x169.jpg 169w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ramadan_sun-450x450.jpg 450w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ramadan_sun-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Near dusk just now, the sun sets behind the dome of the Gombak Mosque&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/dawn-to-dusk\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[377,10,563,25,519,9],"tags":[737,1639,517,110,719,1046,518,1120,561,560,1045,520,114,107,457,1637,1047,169,1638],"class_list":["post-7374","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-culture-festivals","category-geography","category-instagram","category-news-commentary","category-omd","category-photography","tag-dome","tag-eclispe","tag-em-5","tag-fasting","tag-gombak","tag-islamic","tag-landscape","tag-masjed","tag-masjid","tag-mosque","tag-muslim","tag-nd-filters","tag-olympus","tag-puasa","tag-ramadan","tag-ramadhan","tag-religion","tag-sky","tag-sun-solar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7374"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7374\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7380,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7374\/revisions\/7380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
