First try on sunset shoot at Teluk Kumpar Penang.
All C&C welcome.





Thank for view.

White balance is weird

I can never get tired with sunset pics. They are the best things in landscape photography.

For #2, I can see a human subject as a dark sillhouete, but if the person could be positioned somewhere to the left part of the scene as a foreground shadow, the pic could have look stronger.

Thank for the CnC give.
The WB is weird mean too red n yellow?
I use auto WB for this shoot; may need more explain on how the setting should i set for the shoot? Thank.

Yea, agree with you, if the girl can be more left and get full ppl shadow, the whole photo may look complete. Just the girl is just somebody walk and stand in front when i on the shoot. Hahaha. Dun know is funny or plus for me.

Too much yellow to me, and it looks like only one colour tone (yellow) only inside the picture.

Hope you don't mind:



Adjusted WB and strong contrast with LR 3

sure i dun mind. as get comment here.
But is that the adjust lose the sunset feel?
With the adjust pic you attach "Adjusted WB and strong contrast with LR 3".

To me is more the personal preference, I found more colour in a pic will make it look more interesting

Let's see what is other sifu's comment

Thank for your comment so much.
i have feel the pic is too yellow and red tone, but when adjust, the sunset feel is lose for my view.
As this shoot take without any filter, just direct setting and 18-200mm lens.
1st pic set: ISO100, focal Length 18mm, 1/250 shutter speed, aperture f11.
2nd pic set: ISO100, focal Length 18mm, 1/250 shutter speed, aperture f11.
3th pic set: ISO100, focal Length 18mm, 1/200 shutter speed, aperture f11.

Colour is weird and not interesting enough. Model could've made a jump or something, though.

Didn't know Teluk Kumbar has this interesting place to get sunset :/

Is behind the thai seafood restaurant. But the view not much to take.

i prefer as yip punya

WB is a subjective matter, some prefer cooler WB in the pic, some prefer warmer.... there is not such right or wrong, just a personal feeling on the picture.

For me, your picture #1 under expose at the left side. If you could give up the left side, shot in longer focal length, that might give other impact.

picture #2, just like geekster129 said, ur human subject was block by the tree, move the human to left side, or just dunwan to put human in your picture

And, lastly, shooting at seaside, try step down aperture, shot in longer shutter speed (given you have tripod, or something to support your camera), and see the different.

Ya, thank for the advice. will try to learn more with aperture and longer shutter.
My friend also add to me need to takecare of 3 rules for landscape shoot.
