The evening photography session in Tunamaya Beach and Spa Resort - Tioman island

Supposed to a cup of coffee and enjoy the surround scenery...but the sunlight remind me of the sunset! Quickly finish my coffee,  grab the tripod and camera, run towards the jetty! Just hope to capture a nice sunset of Tioman island...

There were 2 gentlemen already at the jetty waiting to capture the sunset too...

Once the tripod setting up, I tried to captured the surrounding and waited for the right timing...

The jetty...

But...it was a disappointed sunset of that evening because of the weather...can't blame the mother nature even....

The dusk of the South China sea

Waited for 20 minutes, the sky didn't turn orange or gold, only be able to captured the blue moment...haiz...

The sunset without the glow...

Too bad, I had to turn around and snap whatever I can during the blue moment...

The jetty (5 sec exposure)

The photos turn out to be quite satisfied. This was unexpected!

By walking back to the restaurant of the resort, I tried another long exposure for 10 sec to capture the resort included the mythical Twin Peak as a backdrop. Well, I like the photo!

By looking at the Twin Peak that moment, I felt some mysteries behind and understand the reason peoples in the island call - Mythical Twin Peak.

I joined the party at the restaurant after the above photo taken...

Kuta beach of Lombok island - Indonesia

Less than 5km (10 minutes journey) from Ashtari Restaurant and Lounge, we visited the nearby beach - Kuta beach (S8.89492 E116.28319) of south Lombok island (there's another Kuta beach in Bali which is different).
According to Pak Uji, meaning 'Kuta' is gateway at the south, therefore there's another gateway in Bali too.

But we arrived at Kuta beach in poor timing, it was cloudy and low tide...

Despite the weather, all of us just simply shoot surrounding to satisfied our cameras...:)

The beach is full of volcano rocks, and the major different from the others beaches we visited was the sands...it's not actually 'sands', there were formation of round tiny stones! This was really special!

Along the Kuta bay, the area is full of hotels and resorts, there's also many activities area like cafe, restaurant and shops. I believe the night activities hear must be happening too, but I'm yet to experience it.

Beside taking photos of the beach, one of our tour mate - Noelle who was enjoying playing with the children around and taking nice photos.

Noticed there were children and women walking along the beach selling souvenirs and hand weaved cloths...I didn't ask for the price...

Before we leave the beach, I found this nature beauty standing alone on the volcano rock...it's the only outstanding rock along the beach...

There was nothing much, we left the beach after 30 minutes and continue our journey to the next destination...
