liewwkNature Photohunters : 2017 Aug Bali

another photohunters trip to our favor location Bali, Indonesia. as usual we had chasing non stop SUnset, Sunrise and Milky Way … glad we had very good weather , colorful sunrise, sunset, rays , clear sky for milky way ..

due to peak season and room availability for the first day , immediate after wet and lovely sunset at Tanah Lot. We move forward to Jatiluwih follow by Milkyway chasing , the sky cover by clouds when we arrived and very soon it open up for us capture the beautiful of Milky Way with lovely paddy terrace.

 

With less than 3 hours sleep, everyone wake up for sunrise. Glad that we have lovely sunrise .. after the sunrise, everyone grab a quick rest before travel to another beach for sunset ..

 

After a “egg yolk” sunset , going for dinner than continue our Milky Way chase . today the sky is obviously clearer so everyone should have good Milky Way.. one of the participant say : it is my first time capture Milky Way and it is so easy and clear ! 😀

 

Next Morning , we decide walk ~1km for sunrise with our favor spot .  “Yes” it is fill with water in the paddy field , what we need just beautiful light to have WOW reflection + sunrise + terrace paddy

instead any beautiful color, we given long shining Rays and allow everyone changing their angle for the beautiful all direction rays

After beautiful sunrise and breakfast, we travel 3 hours to another favor spot Mount Batur . We do not have very good angle for sunset, so we decide to make a sunrise spot for sunset (reverse sunset) . When we arrive at the place , the sky show another hour of lovely RAYS ! not much foreground but we still trying best to squeeze in the plantation and small hut for the lovely RAYS … follow by chasing Milky way for varies locations … sky is clear too . Some start say ohhh we shoot Milky way too much now :p

 

With another less than 3 hours sleep, we move to Lake Batur for sunrise. Here, change a lot since my years first visits. Rubbish any where, wooden boat changed to fibre etc but it still a beautiful sunrise spot and YES again we have lovely colors sunrise .

2011 Jul – Indonesia, Bali Photography Outing

I spent 7d6n at Bali, Indonesia for photography outing…
a tired trip as we travel most of the tourist spots and non tourist area to find
out more about this beauty Island …. thanks for our Guide (Agung for brining
us around to what we call photographer interest places)… he know what
photographers (Landscapers want and need) , and we managed to visit
1. Kintamani area round the Mount Batur and Batur Lake
2. Ubud area which include riceTerrace Ceking Tegalalang, village with paddy field and
Sanur Beach
3. a Old Palace belong to Puri Kesiman (Agung Grandfather was King and owner of
this)
4. Kuta – Blue Point Beach, Uluwatu and Jimbaran
5. Jatiluwih – not just the main tourist area but he brought us to few “appetizer”
spots (think most of Landscape photographer will love this place a lot)
6. Tanah Lot – beautiful place with so much of tourist
7. Serengan Island – beautiful place but not open for tourist
8. Seminyak Beach – not really a plan destination but due to traffic he brought us
to this gem beach ..
I will be sharing pictures for above trips for coming weeks, and also slowly
share some info on respective place …
Let start with Mount Batur,  a cooling and
beautiful places… while we step in hotel the view immediate make us WOW … at
night while we look at the sky millions of stars are up there , Batur Lake is a
good place with some human interest and beautiful lake view …
The hike to the Mount Batur is moderate, but the view along the hike simply amazing …
the stars, Milky way were like standing side by side with me … the sunrise view
with Mount Rinjani is simply awesome . But need to have local guide to bring up
~Rp200-300k per person and ~2-3hours hike for slow people like me.
this was 1st panorama capture while we left our thing into our room and walk out to the hotel walking path …
