Twilight at Tanahlot

I encountered nearly the same kind of lighting as “Approaching Storm” during one of my visits in Bali. When I arrived at Tanahlot, I was just in time to capture such a lighting situation. I was also very fortunate to have the human figure in silhouette to add human interest. The figure’s presence no doubt helped to enhance the visual impact of the shot. This is the kind of picture that requires you to be at the right spot at the right time — such a coincidental situation is unlikely to come by again.

The early hours of the day are always regarded as the golden hours for mood photography. This landscape of a village near Mount Bromo, East Java is illustrative as an example. I captured my first impressions of the misty mood and atmosphere of a village near Mount Bromo in 1980. The smoke from the lit cigarette of the rider added interest to the whole image. This image won a Gold Medal at the 25th Maitland International Salon, Australia held in 1982..
