Landscape Pictures

Trooping Along

Trooping Along
Apologies for the lack of updates as I have been busy preparing for my upcoming customary wedding…

One of the difficulties with taking candid pictures of a group of people walking/trekking is to avoid overlapping the figures. I find that allowing the figures to separate makes for a much cleaner picture. However, it is not easy to do so as I have no control over these individuals (it’s a candid shot after all!). I was particularly happy when I managed to catch a relatively clean one of these people trekking down Mount Bromo 🙂

Hillside Hut

Hillside Hut
Even before we arrived at Mount Bromo on our first day there, we were already stopping our transport numerous times just to get off to admire and capture the scenery. This hut sat opposite the place I shot “Golden Lollipop”. The silhouette of the hut set against the interesting profiles of the trees caught my attention.

The original shot of this was in colour. There were some infra-red photography enthusiasts among our group who went to town with the subject material available in the area (with custom-modified 20Ds for IR). Currently, I don’t think I will ever bear to customize any of my DSLRs for IR (the customization is permanent), so I’ll have to make do with this post-Photoshop, faux infrared version :P.
