Another 2016 image that could have been processed a little better the first time round. The air was filled with smoke at the time from farm fields burning in the neighbourhood which gave off a pinky orange cast in the sky but through my heavy handed use of contrast to retrieve the details I lost the original tones during the processing when I first captured it. The colours in this version, however, are much closer to the original raw file which I prefer. Don't ask me why I couldn't see this on my first attempt..*SIGH!*

I was also quite proud of this image after capturing the fast moving longtail boat successfully with simple manual focus. No, I wasn't being clever, I just didn't know how to use the overly complicated Sony auto focusing back then with the technology bearing very little resemblance to Sony's current auto focus features (which are staggering by the way!). In fact, my dependency on manual focus back then was probably the reason why I got into landscape photography to begin with, I was hopeless at capturing moving objects!

Thank you for hobbling by :)
