Bantimmurung Waterfall was one of the destinations for the finalist of the 2011 Garuda Indonesia International Photo Contest. The waterfall is also known as the “Kingdom of Butterflies”. Unfortunately, there was not many to be seen during our visit. Nevertheless, this location provided good opportunity for capturing images of children having fun at the stunning waterfall.
The 2011 Garuda Indonesia International Photo Contest Final Round was held in Makassar, Ujung Pandang, December, last year. As a member of the panel of judges, I had an opportunity of visiting Markassar, Indonesia after a break of 10 years.
I captured this image at one of the sessions specially arranged for the finalist. I think is essential to synchronize the peak action of the performance with the precision timing of clicking the shutter for this image. I especially like the musicians in the backdrop that blended well with main subject.
A stone throw after I captured my previous posting, I found another dramatic image of Salida, Colorado, USA.
I think the touch of the first light could be very warm in colour as well. Within a couples of minutes, I have captured numerous gorgeous landscapes bathed in the warm glow of the morning sun.
