The above was taken at Tenganan Village in Bali, which is famous on the island for its classic representation of traditional Balinese life (before its subjugation by the Javanese). The inspiration for the title comes from the Monopoly board game 🙂 … the irony is that the prized roosters are kept confined, whereas the more ordinary ones are left free to roam the village.
From last weekend’s visit to the Botanic Gardens… my tripod’s “Quick Center Column” feature came in handy here. It wasn’t easy getting sufficient depth of field to make sure that the bees were sharp. I experimented with AI-Servo focus tracking on my 7D and it came in rather handy for some of these pictures.
As mentioned in my previous post, the Ngrupuk parade is held prior to Nyepi day in Bali. A competition was held for the ogoh-ogoh on parade in Denpasar. The event was full of pomp and pageantry during which many colourful and candid pictures could be taken. I was pretty happy that I managed to capture the above candid picture of one of the performers.
