after years , i revisit this place twice and here is recent one 2017 Sept visit
I managed to do batch order for this timer remote control .. I tried my for pass 1 year ++ went to salt, wet, jungle… with me without any issue. Even once it seem not function after fall into sea .. but after dry , it seem working now .
while I started my landscape, many of forum friends had share with me all the “guidelines”/”rules” e.g. 2/3 horizontal line …etc …. appreciate that and I learn fast from everyone inputs….
as for now, I trying to share as much that in my mind to my gang, friends, workshop participants ..etc …. all the “guidelines” but I always emphasize .. while we trying to think and follow the “guidelines” , we can still capture what we love to capture as snapshot or follow own preference as this will make us enjoy the photography … rather stand there without any shutter press even the view is great ….
e.g. of this … I can’t make any good decision while the light (cloud on left top) moving real fast and if I still move myself to look for better angle then I definite will miss this beautiful sky …. there are nothing at foreground too …. if I make foreground 2/3 ….. so I decide to capture the view to share with other rather just view this myself ….
... interset | Kemasik Beach ...
nothing wrong but it look not too attractive overall … but I will still capture 50/50 if I feel I have no choice … 😀
a place famous with rice terraces – Jatiluwih… a place I missed and will plan
to re-visit very soon in future …. an appetizer as our Guide (Agung claim) …
I love to see how the water filling up the paddy field and it will reflect whatever on
the sky 😀
not too long ago, me and my gang (shunfa) still struggle to find and capture the
Milky way … think we went to wrong places and wasted a lot of time .. but
recently , with the help of Iphone/Ipad tools (star chart) we can easily locate
the Milky way and capture it easily (as long as we choose low pollution light
area)… sharing some experience how I shoot star previously
