Its been a while since I last did some landscape photography. Recently, during the Raya break, Uncle Samuel invited Sam and I to join their family for a holiday in Ciputeh, Ujong Kulon, West Java (7-8 hours drive from Jakarta). It was one of the most remote places I’ve ever been in Indonesia, even most of my Indonesian classmates have never been there before. The journey was as long as taking a flight from KL to Melbourne. Haha. I really thank God for this trip. It was a time to relax from all the clinical work and an opportunity for me to take pictures. I haven’t been touching my camera since I started clinicals.

Hengky borrowed me his 18-55mm kit lens because my faithful 17-85mm lens is still is Malaysia. I didn’t have time to collect it after it was being serviced. If he didn’t borrowed me his lens, I wouldn’t have taken these pictures.

This is my first attempt at shooting seascapes. Kathryn and I have always been wanting to try doing seascapes as most of our scenery pictures from Australia and New Zealand were mostly of cityscapes, lakes, mountains and star trails. Hope you will be able to see beauty of God through these pictures, the works of His hands rather than my amateur attempt to capture it with the camera that He has blessed me with.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All shot were taken using the 18-55mm. No ND filters were used as my 67mm ND8 could not fit into the kit lens. Post processing: RAW single or double exposure blending using (Lightroom/CS4) to simulate the effects of a ND grad filter.
