At Work On The Terrace Fields
Many of Dad’s Indonesian pictures are of Terrace Fields. My trip to Jatiluwih in Bali last month gave me my first opportunity to make my own versions 🙂
Feeding Time At A Bedugul Market
One of the intimidating things about candid photography is summoning one’s courage to unabashedly point the camera at the subject of interest. Depending on the culture of the local society, you might be rewarded by unwelcome stares, or worse still, swears and curses from the subjects involved. One thing about the Balinese is that they are often quite happy to have their pictures taken, to the extent that the mother in the above scene was even able to breastfeed comfortably in public, and despite knowing that our cameras were trained on her and her child. Taken at a traditional market in the Bedugul area (click the geotag icon on the top left of the picture to see the location).
Dusky Waves At Tanah Lot
We had a chance to do some “milky waves” photography at the coast of Tanah Lot. Many photographers achieve this effect with use of 10-stop ND filters. For us, we just used the waning light of dusk to achieve the long exposure times we wanted. I have converted the monochromatic blue glow of the original to the sepia-toned, high contrast version above.
