Shot for the Day (6 June 2015)

At the end of 2014, just prior to Christmas, I spend a few days with my family on the beautiful island of Langkawi, on the northern end of Malaysia, very close to Thailand.

I got up early each morning to enjoy the silence of surroundings, a far cry from the bustle of Singapore. This shot was moments before the sun rose to my right, as the light wind stretched the clouds across the sky, with the two yachts bobbing gently in the water ahead of me.

A few monkeys in the forest behind me we on an early morning scout to find breakfast and were eyeing up my camera bag a in a furtive manner, wondering if I had some food hidden amongst the lenses. Finally, a sea otter walked out from the shelter of the shrubbery to my left and wondered over to take an early morning bath.

An early morning slow sunrise over the channel in east Devon. There was very little movement in the water and yet the clouds moved at a quickened pace above me.

This shots was taken about 30 minutes after dawn had broken, just as the sun finally cleared the bank of cloud hugging the horizon.

Still getting used to mixing light levels between graduate ND filters and a Big Stopper. This was a 2 minute exposure on the Devonshire coastline, as the afterglow of the sunset dwindled just long enough to be captured on film. To the naked eye, the scene was almost devoid of colour, verging on the black and white.
