[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken today while visiting one of the very famous mosques in Brunei. I have come here so many times but never carried my camera here as normally I go there for the Friday prayer. Today, I took a friend from New Zealand who came to visit us to explore this architectural marvel of SE Asia and decided to bring along my camera. I was trying to do something different as there are lots of pictures of this place and they all start to look so cliche. So I went for a framing shot, literally. I decided to shoot through this wooden arch and used my CPL filter to reduce glare off the golden domes and enhance the blue sky. Shot in A Priority mode and did some minor cropping to eliminate some FG distractions. Then I resized for TL upload. Any comments/critiques/Workshops welcome and thanks for dropping by,

Regards,

Dilshan

What a superb capture with wonderful focusing, Dilshan! I like the POV in the shot with great colors. The sky with great pattern of clouds adds immense mood and the golden tombs of the holy mosque, look just wonderful and highly divine.

A great work, my friend!

my best regards,
Paras

Hi Dilshan

Superb use of the overarching fg lattice to frame the bg Mosque. Good sharpness, & I like the warm cold colour contrast between the yellow gold cupolas & the blue sky. Terima kasih untuk foto ini bagus sekali!

Hello Dilshan,

I like much the colors which come out from this composition.
The choice of framing is as well selected to highlight this beautiful mosque.
Good work.

Nicely framed shot Dilshan - good light and colour.. A pity you don't have the Sigma 10-20 to get a slightly wider shot and include the base of the mosque too :-)

Brunei and Malaysian Borneo are definitely on my 'to visit' list..

David
