Double Track Sunset

Sunset near Stasiun Gadobangkong (Gadobangkong railway station) in Cimareme area in the west of Bandung.

The double track you see in this picture connect Bandung and Jakarta. Only until recently, there used to be paddy fields here. Now they are gone and have been replaced by a housing complex called the Amani.

Skywatch: Bandung Sunset January 02, 2008 - How to Take Golden Sunset Photograph with Your Digital Pocket Camera

This is what Bandung sunset looked like today.

This is a fresh (as is) photo from my 3.2 mega pixel digital pocket camera. I did no post-capture enhancement whatsoever to the photograph. I took this photo from the parking lot of Borma Supermarket on Jalan Dr. Setiabudhi in the north of Bandung at about six o'clock today.

Perhaps you're wondering how an old, cheap digital camera could take a picture as good as this?

Well, here is the simple tip for taking a golden sunset photo:
To take a golden sunset like this, set your camera white balance to "sunny" (usually symbolized with the sun icon in your camera button). This way, the warmth glow of the sunset sky will be rendered most strongly on the camera sensor. Try it. You'll be pleased at how your golden sunset photograph turns out.

Bandung's December Golden Sunset

Many times this month we had a golden sunset like this in Bandung.

This is a straight photo: except for resizing and watermarking, I did not do any editing on the color on my photo ediditing software.

The object on the bottom left corner of the photo is UNISBA (Bandung Islamic University) water tower. UNISBA is one of the most prominent private universities in Bandung. Its campus is located on Jalan (Street) Tamansari. I took this photo from Jalan Tamansari Bawah (lower Tamansari Street) at about 6 PM last week.
