[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
An afternoon beach walk that had given me a very good heal and relief over the stressful Monday morning work load. As a continuity of my previous shot of Cirrus cloud, I am hunting the same subject again, a cloud. This time it is a cumulus cloud shot from the Tanjung Aru Beach.

Cumulus clouds usually have a puffy cotton-like appearance, with noticeable vertical development and clearly defined edges. This type of cloud has the appearance of floating cotton and has a lifetime of 5-40 minutes. They can be found alone, in lines, or in clusters. Factors like instability, moisture, and temperature gradient, make cumulus clouds precursors of many other types of clouds, e.g cumulonimbus clouds. In some cases these clouds can be associated with dust devils, landspouts, waterspouts and tornadoes. Cumulus means heap or a pile in Latin.

While on the beach, thousands of dark spots seen on the sand were burrows of sand crabs.

As seen on the exif data, is another silly mistake of proper ISO... so to share a reminder, please keep checking our ISO setup before doing the shutter clicks
Happy shooting,
Ramdan.

You have captured them very well!

Stong color and good composition is a plus of this shot, Ramdan, and taken at midday showing high resolution. Very sharp and superb DOF.

Hi Ramdan very nice view , excellnet shot clors and composition great

Assalamualaikum Ramdan. The ISO 200 here is just fine. My D40 can only go down to 200. I have always like the digital image and you can see some of my shot went up to 1600. The sky is brilliant with that puffy white cumulus. The low angle capture spreads the sand crab burrows with nice river like lagoon making the perspective. Pleasant landscape with green foliage on the left making this a balanced composition. Regards. Jusni

Hi Ramdan,
Beautiful seascape and beachscape with a wanderful sky and lovely colours and sharp picture, Excellent POV. and details of the beach, nice place to relax..

Hello Ramdam
How beautiful all these colours are together.
You did an awesome job with the composition of this shot.
Bravo
Dot

This combinations of earth, foliage, sky and cloud in different light conditions are always my most difficult part to do. Thanks for this the tips.

Assalamualaikum,

a brisk-walking at the beach in mid-day's heat that pays off, Ndan.

puffy cotton-like clouds in a wide blue sky & thousands of dark spots of crabs burrows on a brownish beach are the "things" in this beautiful shot.

remember your spot, re-visit & re-shoot when there is an aircraft approches or takes off at the runway at the BG there.

TFS

Agoes

excellent depth, attractive colours thanks to the well captured light

Terima kasih komen foto aku "INSECT 1"

Hi Ramdan - I do like your photo for the beautiful beach, strong colours, POV and interesting cloud formations. The light is well managed, too. It seems to me that the dead (looking) tree on the left makes the picture more interesting still. - Cordelia :))

Salam Ramdan

Cantik pemandangan pantai nie... awan pun lawa.... aku pun ada lens nie nantilah aku cuba kehebatannya... apa2 pon memang cantik

Hi Ramdan, This captures the essence of Malaysian beaches which are so beautiful generally. Only thing i'm not keen on is the heat around mid day. Good POV and colours. TFS. Murray.

Hi Ramdan,
Wow....what a awesome view! Great contrast without overexposure of the clouds. The bush on the left is a bit dark though, but the overall brightness is fine. Really an attractive panorama well captured my friend!

This is a beautiful scene! A very lovely beach. I like all the colors and the lighting is very nice. TFS and have a good day!

Lovely image and great notes. Your definition of Cumulus clouds is well seen in this shot.

Hi!
Great shot, the sky is amazing with those cumulus clouds... and the blue color!
The tone of the sand give a nice contrast to this photo!
