At the peak of the gold mining activity in December 2007, many gold-diggers camped out on the beach. The price of woks and frying pans in Mersing town shot up like nobody's business.
The bay has now returned to normal. The beach itself is not really that pretty when compared to other beaches on the east coast of Malaysia. Nonetheless, it is a good spot to practice with some sunrise and sunset photography...

Bravo! What great shots...cantiknya!!
Beautiful, Oldstock, thank you. Shame on me, being a Johorean and have never been there!
Oh wow! The beach may not be very pretty but your photography is excellent! You captured the essence of the place beautifully.
oldstock is getting better snapping picture. sudah beli dslr ke bos? :)
Ooooo geramnya..cantik2 betul! You guna which mode bila you ambil gambar2 ni? Ada tukar certain2 setting ke..ISO ke aperture ke? Do share please...
Rasanya gambar2 ni jauh lebih cantik dari mana2 poskad gambar pantai yg ada kat kedai..
Subhanaallah! What a magnificent shot! You wouldn't know how many times I 'aahs' and 'oohs' at every photo! Hehe... ;D
Good job, Oldstock!
Nice :)
mamasita,
Tq. Sunrise and sunset shots depend a lot on luck as well. When I stayed at a beach hotel in Kuantan recently, I wanted to shoot the sunrise too but the light and cloud formation was not good.
NanaDJ,
No need to be ashamed lah... Teluk Iskandar ni dekat dgn Kg. Sri Pantai. Not as famous Air Papan.
You asal Johor kat mana ek?
Kak Kama,
I was inspired by the Dungun sunrise photo on your sidebar :-)
Moira,
Err.. what do mean, getting better? Was I not good from the start... wakaka!
Udah ada dslr... tapi yg paling basic, setakat buat permulaan. Sekarang ni mengidam nak tambah lens :-)
Hliza,
Generally I used the P setting but sometimes I switch to A setting to control the depth of field. Cuma small aperture in low light means slow shutter speeds, so a tripod is recommended. But I only used the tripod for the first few shots when the light was just breaking... after that is was just steady hands.
Some shots were taken at the preset landscape mode, just to see how it turns out. That's the beauty of digital photography, you can shoot as much as you like and try all the different settings available.
Lili,
I'm still in the learning process and trying to understand the capability of my camera.
If you wish choose any pic you like and I'll email the original file. Those shown here are already compressed.
Puan Saya,
Lama dah tak dengar khabar puan. I guess we share the same interest in photographing the sky. Love those shots in your blog too :-)
thanks :)
Oh the pictures are stunning!
imagine you can see the blue sky with blue sea..
beautiful white sand.. :)
Wow, really Oldstock?
Hmm...with my frequent 'turbulent emotions' (hehe!...no, no..lawak jer).. my choice would be the second last and third last photos!
Looking at these two pictures set me in the right mood which I can't explain!
Thanks in advance.

Oldstock,
Beautiful pictures. Been busy with Mr. Nikon huh? I was just thinking of putting my sunset pictures too.
Amazing.
It takes certain eyes (blessed ones) to notice and capture these scenes too :)
Salam Oldstock...
Great shots... You are a pro now..!!
miezarra...
Salam zafi,
The sky is most colourful at dawn and at dusk. The sand at this particular beach is not actually white but more dark grey... therefore not that pretty to take a photo of during daytime.
Lili, check your email inbox.
My personal favourite is the 2nd last pic.
As,
Kebetulan cuti balik kampung, that's why I got the Nikon to do extra work.
Looking forward to having a look at your sunset pics too!
Puan Chahya,
I do hope to be blessed, but I do not have eyes as lovely as yours... :-)
I'll be missing you. Do drop by sekali sekala bila ada kelapangan.
Salam zarra,
Long time no see... kat FB pun dah takde.
Belum pro lagi, setakat hobi je. Still cannot quit my day job, hehehe..
..beautiful pics, guv..reminders all, of the Creator..that His creations are not in vain..
