a dramatic sunset in Phuket, captured with the soft surreal waves as sun sank into the sea.
did a bit of running around with the tripod, trying to find good angles and better spots amidst all the rock and what not, ended up losing my IR remote no thanks to my clumsiness, washed away by the waves. drats.
more to come =)

For those who are wondering:
this was taken at narrowest aperture possible (f32) using a series of 3 frames exposed at 4,15,30 seconds respectively. this was done to give the water a soft silky smooth texture. a CPL was used in the process as well.
Later they were combined into a HDR piece using Photomatix, and slight curves and levels adjustment was done in photoshop.

Welcome to Phuket Town
Long before flip-flops, glossy resorts and selfie sticks, Phuket was an island of rubber trees, tin mines and cash-hungry merchants. Luring entrepreneurs from the Arabian Peninsula, China, India and Portugal, Phuket Town (เมืองภูเก็ด) became a colorful blend of cultural influences.
Today, the Old Town is a testament to Phuket's history, but it's also the island's hipster heart, attracting artists and musicians in particular, which has led to noticeable gentrification. Century-old hôrng tăa·ou (shophouses) and homes are being restored, vibrant street art is popping up and it can feel like every other building is now a fashionable polished-concrete cafe.
But Phuket Town remains a wonderfully refreshing cultural break from the island's beaches (easily reached by sŏrng·tăa·ou). Wander down streets lined with distinctive Sino-Portuguese architecture, arty coffee shops, experimental galleries, boutique hotels and incense-cloaked Chinese Taoist shrines, before sampling the island's most authentic Phuketian cuisine and Phuket Town's very local bar scene.
