serene morning in sanur

bali, its culture, beaches, mountains, people, and food, is always my favorite place

and my soul is always charged when I got back from there.........

sanur beaches was the favorites beach on its time, and now it becomes the choice of those who love serenity......

am trying to catch the serenity of sanur, wish I got it......

it was around 5am in the morning

and all of the photos are "long-shoot", so thanks to mr. Manfrotto

try to change the "white ballance setting", inspired by the ad "I love the blue of Indonesia..."

xPan format

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

and back to normal 3x5 format

there are two names that have influenced me, the famous Michael Kenna and my friend Kamilia "Rosa-aka fantaijo" Rosmasari

also would like to thanks Maggy Horhoruw who challenged me and my wife, Sisi Soeratman, who encouraged me to answer the challenged

wish these "always newbie photography enthusiast" could learned and benefited from "Awaiting"

"Awaiting - xPan"
click "PLAY" and the video will show you some pictures taken in xPan (Panoramic) format
am fallen for these format when Gladia Budianto, and Indonesian lived in Singapore shows his works at Aksara Kemang years ago. even he poisoned me with Tay Kay Chin's signature photography book, he is one of Hasselbald master

still play around with my xPan, an analog rangefinder camera that already discontinued, and would never stop

long and winding road

this picture is taken from a 'sampan' heading to the island,
Lae-lae, in front of Makassar city

the low angle of morning sun really helped me to get the mood
love the picture so much
wish i will get the change to explore more of the island potentials someday

make this picture as the entry to the serials of pictures that will be exhibited in
