Having captured yesterday's shot of the dipping sun illuminating the fishing boat in Loh Dalam Bay I faced my camera the other way towards the sun. Since I'm working with a slide scan and was too lazy to re-scan it with different settings, I'm stuck with the colors captured in the slide. The challenge here is that there was no obvious neutral mid-tone from which to correct the color balance.

Having photographed the fishing boats tied up in Ton Sai Bay I walked back across the isthmus to Loh Dalam Bay and took this shot. The sun is on it's way down - certainly within and hour of sunset. The boat on the left is the same boat I photographed earlier that day from the lookout point in my photo Loh Dalam Refractions.

So here's the detail view of the classic three view coverage of a subject. The first in the series was the overview, the broad expansive view of the scene. Yesterday I published the vignette, the honing in from the overview into a particular zone of interest. And here is the detail - a further narrowing of the vignette to a specific detail within the view.

I usually try to capture at least three views of a scene: the overview, a vignette and a detail view. Yesterday's shot was the overview - a wide, all encompassing view, typically taken with a wide angle lens. Today's shot is the vignette.

The relatively short dusk duration is captured in this image with the yellows of the setting sun to the west and the darkening skies of night to the east.

The image below was taken a few minutes after yesterday's shot with the sun bisected on the horizon. The film stock was Fuji Provia 100 ISO. I'm not sure if the film now 23 years old, is suffering from aging or original reciprocity failure.
