Dawn at Kusamba

Lip SengFebruary 17, 2005

One of my favorite locations for photographic outings in Bali is Kusamba. I love the atmosphere and mood of the misty early morning immediately after sunrise. I waited for the wave to form an “S” curve before I released the shutter. The black volcano-soil gave good contrast to the strong waves of the water.

I was one of the lucky seventy photographers invited by the Mayor of Beijing in 2000 to participate in the “World Photographers Focusing On Beijing” (a project for China’s 2008 Olympic application). One of the events that we covered during our stay in Beijing was that of Beijing Opera. This was one of the favourite images that I captured during the make-up session backstage. I was able to capture handheld, the mirror image of the well-lit performer with ambient light.

Final Adjustment

The International Balloon Fiesta in Bristol celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2003. I was there to photograph this exciting colourful event earlier in year 2000. I was able to get near to the launching site to capture the image from a good vantage point.
