Muar, Johor | liewwk

Muar, also known as Bandar Maharani is a town geopolitically situated in Muar District in the region or area of Muar in northwestern Johor, Malaysia. It is the main and biggest town of the bigger entity region or area of the same name, Muar which is sub-divided into the Muar district and the new Ledang district, which was upgraded into a full fledge district from the Tangkak sub-district earlier.[1] Muar district as the only district covering the whole area formerly borders Malacca in the northern part. Upon the upgrading of Ledang district, the Muar district now covers only the area south of Sungai Muar, whilst the northern area beyond the river is in within Ledang district. However, both divided administrative districts are still collectively and fondly called and referred to as the region or area of Muar as a whole by their residents and outsiders.

simply a photo ?

many of us understand before we press the shutter , we should plan for technical/art compo, horizontal, 2/3 …. etc ….

but there is something more important for landscape photographer

UNDERSTAND the NATURE and PLAN for the shot …

for landscape lover, it is not just photography but there are more to understand/know … e.g. tide, direction, timing, weather … etc ….

if you want to be serious then start ask yourself

1. must facing east for sunrise ?

2. is good to shoot this at low tide ? or high tide ?

3. what’s the tide level at beach near by ?

4. what time moonrise/moonset/sunrise/sunset

5. are all countries having same sunrise/sunset/moonset/moonrise time ?

etc ?????

e.g. are these plan or just shot what I see while I was there ?

Pantai Jeram high tide

 

tide coming up slow ...

 

no moon light - Milky Way

 

so do you think planning is important for a landscape photographer ?
