Deep blue sky and white clouds at mid-day. Drive 1-2 hour from Kuching towards western tip of Borneo and you will come to a beach near to Lundu having a typical tropical look. Polariser to saturate the colors. Search for a foreground, background and compose your view. Set higher f/13 to get good depth.

Finding a good weather and sky is always an important part of outdoor landscape shooting. Sometimes, just a storm comes, or after heavy rain, perhaps even better if the sun breaks through the clouds by then. Just sharing landscape at tropical zone of Sarawak. Thank you for viewing. Regards, Bill

Beautiful shot, I love the midday light at these kind of locations. Got to get me to Malaysia cos the skies are never like this here in Dubai.
Well captured Bill

You certainly know all the techniques to show off a tropical beach such as this. Nice and bright and great composition.

the compo is just nice i.e doing justice to the main elements - the greneery, the sky & the beach. colours are great too.

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Tamar Tides VI’

Very nice tropical scene, Bill! Love the height of the coconut trees. You framed it very well. Very nice coloring and exposure is well managed.
Cheers!

Hello Bill.
Yes its hard to get a good and not overexposed picture on midday in the far east. Have to delete many with to white clouds of white dressings.
This idelic scene is good enough for showing here on tl. Well done.
Regards from Jan

Very nice composition Bill, lovely saturated colours, the tall palms and the quite of the beach make a great scene.

Thanks

Hi Bill
I just took a tropical vacation by cruising your gallery
your shots are amazing!

this one jumped out at me... the perfect blues and that beach!
Oh yes very nice

Tricia

Hello Bill,
My ultimate flaw is to capture landscape. How I adore beautiful landscape shots, but how I hardly ever get any descent ones. I had to pick this one out from your gallery. Amazingly beautiful with awesome view of the sky. Great colors. My last visit to Kuching was more than 10 years ago. Never been to the beaches though.

Simply beautiful.

Best regards,
Sharina

Hie Bill,

This is really so blue..the skies and the hills..but I would want to see some of the blue ocean as well. Maybe it's lowtide at that time?

TFS,
Hong
