Picture of the day - April 25, 2009

"A rather unusual sunset"

Photo courtesy of Bryan Loh.          (Click on the photo for a larger view) I have featured a lot of sunsets as "Pictures of the Day" over the years, but I have never seen one quite so intriguing as the one featured above. It almost looks as if the Creator drew a vertical line in the air and placed "night" on one side of it and "day" on the other. Intriguing indeed, and quite beautiful as well. Here are a few words from photographer Bryan Loh about the image: "I captured this sunset at Malaysia-Morib Beach (Pantai Morib), which is 1 hour and a half to 2 hours driving distance from Kuala Lumpur. I reached the beach around 5:30pm, then started to shoot around 6:30pm after dinner. I didn't miss any shoots, until the right moment at which time I got the shoot that I was satisfied with. Wow, this is the shot I got for the day. Thanks for viewing"   --Bryan Loh Here are the camera and settings used to capture this image: Camera: Canon EOS 40D Focal length: 17 mm Shutter speed: 1/160 second Aperture: f/4 ISO: 200 You will find many more of Mr. Loh's wonderful images in his Flickr gallery.     Visitor Comments...
