Street in front of Discovery Shopping Mall.
What is it with me and lights? Well two things, first, it’s easy to create impressive photo. All you have to do is get the camera a steady place and open the shutter long enough so all lights can be captured. Second, being a novice, it’s important to know your limits. I didn’t use a tripod to shot, so I had to squat, and my elbows were on my knees. The Pizza Hut sign is the proof.

Moon behind thin clouds. Taking this picture was more dificult. shutter must be opened long enough to be able to capture the light reflected be the clouds. I held the camera for 12 seconds, (I had to use 10 seconds timer) 

Shooting the moon. What's the challenge? Steady hands. Without a tripod, taking this picture was really exhausting, since the zoom was set to maximum. 

Sunset in kuta. f/2.8, shutter 1/640 obviously distance doesn't matter. I used auto for this shot, with curve edit in photoshop to enhance the contrast. 

Macro, a better one I believe. This is a flower of a wheat at the hotel. f/2.8, I think it's best. shutter 1/100, because It's in an open shade. No flash. 

Macro, a flower at Jamie's window. f/8. I should have used f/3.2 instead. Focal lenght 21.2 shutter 1/1000 ISO 100 

First Blog

This is my first blog....
I don't have a diary, do what can I put here?
dunno... but seems It's nice to have a place
where we can share ideas and stories.

So... for now, let's just add one mail.
Who knows I might enjoy this.

Another view of the Paradise Hotel. Black n white color, just to be different. (actually I tried to get the tips of all tree looked white)

Macro, back then I didn’t know the difference of f/8 and f/2.8. This was taken with f/8 to reduce exposure and get a blurry background (what a fool, no way with f/8). shutter was 1/50 to get extra light.

Another pool view of the hotel, the opposite side

Daniel, my roommate during Nyepi (Seclusion day in Bali)

Pool view of Paradise Hotel in Seminyak. We stayed in this hotel for 2 days during Nyepi.

Tired..(well it's 11 PM when I took this photo)

Another Ogoh2, each Ogoh2 has name, the name of the evil spirit symbolized. I can't remember any.

A dancer, performed a story of why the evil spirit represent by the Ogoh2 came down to earth

Ogoh2, a closer look

Anther lights from Ogoh2 (Big puppet)

Supposedly, this was a photo of ogoh2(big Puppet), but because of the slow shutter..., It has lost it's shape. The night before Nyepi, Ogoh2 was carried in a parade
