More rustic scenes from a village in Ceromo Lawang… The quality of the light during the “golden hours” in this area was fantastic. I love the rim-light/highlight effect that can be achieved in these hours, giving life to the subjects I wanted to capture.
Mount Bromo decided to put up a show for us on our second evening there, spewing sulphuric fumes as the sun descended over the landscape. The evening sun created nice saturated colours, giving a nice golden hue to the landscape and the plumes of smoke. Dad has a slightly different composition of the above: his includes Mount Sumeru in the background, which was also spewing volcanic fumes.
We chanced upon a village wedding in Cemoro Lawang after our morning outing at Mount Bromo. The wedding presented itself with numerous photographic opportunities. These two sisters were waiting outside the bridegroom’s house for the wedding procession to take place. Ignoring us nosey photographers altogether, they were seemingly in a world of their own. I love the interesting expressions on their faces.
