Beaches For Your Sunset Pics – Part 1

Beaches For Your Sunset Pics – Part 1

Sunsets are almost always fabulous from the seaside. KL is landlocked. So what do we do? We can travel to a beach. Where can we go that is near and practical? In this series we look at three beaches I have captured beautiful sunsets previously. They are west coast sites facing the Straits of Malacca and the setting sun.

We start off with Morib beach. It’s fairly easy to get to if you can get on the SKVE which takes you to Banting.

On the Morib esplanade, Carmen was photographed showing off her IKEA cardboard camera known as KNÄPPA. It was a one time issue, was not for sale nor did it require assembly. Just insert the two included yellow IKEA batteries. Memory is built in. You can see the USB dongle jutting from the side. It is fully functional albeit the brutalist design. I like that it uses a peep hole as viewfinder.

The blurry images should make it a sought after hipster collectible. Is there a tripod screw hole? IKEA wants you to buy a chair for stability.

She won it in a contest and it was also given to the media as gifts. At the beach, we need not worry about rust from the salty air and sea spray corrosion. Be careful with your regular camera at the sea unless your camera is also a cardboard. At home. you might need to worry about silverfishes and other bugs eating your cardboard camera..LOL.

Seaside sunsets are unpredictable because of the travel distance and can fade fast became of changing weather. Always carry a flash for fill in light if you plan to do humans beside landscape.
