Edit: Updated the captions for the pictures post trip.

Good place to chill at when we first arrived at semporna jetty from Tawau airport & while waiting for our boat to arrive.

Night sky at the beach resort isn't that clear considered the amount of lighting around the resort.

Q: Are the moon shots on the phone nowadays fake?

A: As you can see every shots are unique when there are some dark clouds flowing past the moon.

Staying on this lovely island for 3D2N.

During the noon time water level was the lowest and corals become visible on shallow water.

Kayaking on the glass boat is a must-try experience here.

Beautiful corals during the low-tide day time.

Starfish collection.

Saw alot of sea turtles around here but were lucky to catch this shot while it was swimming near the shallow water at close range.

This shot was captured at 4pm ish while the sun is still relatively hot.

Look at the glowing sky a few minutes before the sun sets, the sun was too shy and was hiding behind the thick clouds, just right above the horizon.

Amother shot just before the sun sets, as the crew were working on parking the last boat arriving at the island.

Lovely view from the balcony of our room at about 9pm. Moon rises from the horizon.

Only bright stars are visible here. Sirius & orion's belt are particularly noticeable.

Nice shots 👌 did you shot it in auto mode or manual? The sunset shots looks like manual setting

[AntoinneLichtenborg]

Its actually auto photo mode... but usually by default it is over-exposed when you point at the sun(picture too bright) so I always tap on the brightest part and then pull down the exposure for quite abit.
I edited the picture in the native photo editor (slightly adjusting brightness/ exposure/ contrast/ shadows/ highlights)

Great 👌👍😁😄
