Scattered Shower At Lake Toba

The weather of Lake Toba is unpredictable. It was a wet period of the year during my visit. Nevertheless, such a weather condition provided me with an opportunity of capturing a landscape image with a different mood.

Low light in the late afternoon is one of my favorite lighting angles for landscape photography. Especially when the light shines through an opening of cloudy sky. Such a situation usually created good contrast for the scene. The overall saturation of image is also intensified by such lighting condition. I think it is essential to use a small aperture to achieve sufficient depth of field for such an image.

An image that I captured during my last visit to UK in April last year. I like the contrast lighting of the scene. I waited a short while before one of the sea gulls started to depart.
We have just entered 2011. I would like to wish all fellow photographers a good start for the coming year! Happy & A Prosperous New Year!
