Day 2: From Besakih to Unda River Dam

Wah lau eh... now not only am I stressed by SK1968, I am also pushed by Adrian the SgTrekker liao.
Got to push my topo map all the way up front first before we post our other photos.
Damn stressed, man!
Here it goes...

We finished walking the compound of Besakih just as the sky turned dark.
Sitting at the small eatery just outside Besakih, we ate Nasi Goreng Ayam with no Ayam...

This one is lagi better.
During lunch, the bright sun finally came out through the dark clouds and shone brightly upon the Merus of Besakih.
But we were all eating already and I have taken off my Sarong already - how to go back in?
But no sooner have we finished lunch, it started pouring cats and dogs! DARN!

limwhow #61
We sat down at that Kopi tiam for close to 1 hour frantically trying to do photo-sharing on Adrian's now defunct (brand new) iPad.
Something must have happened to his iPad photo connecting gadget because it sort of short-circuited his this iPad.
Luckily for us, the rained stopped just in time for us to drive quickly down at around 4pm to Unda River Village.

Understand the sentiment about old faithful equipement .. but we all know .. that NEVER missed a single shot does not = to Keepers .. and from what you told me .. I can just imagine his excitement when he got that shot and must be thinking .. should have listen to Lowlights long ago ...hahahaha

Ok... following up on that Adrian's that nice shot on the Balinese children on top of the pickup.
Here is my job as a record photographer.
I recorded that moment when he shared his just-taken photo with those lovely children.

Brother.
Don't lose sleep if I tell you the truth and nothing but the truth.
I did not crop a single mm!
That is the power of Canon. :thumbsup:

LowLights, actually I was about to go on to the Unda River Dam already.
But you distracted me.
Talked and talked so much about the Balinese children lah this lah that lah...
Now I just got to show you another humble shot of mine.
Sigh.. hope this one can make it.

 

[SK1968]

Hahahah... Take passport .. Heading towards airport Liao :bsmilie:

跑路??:bsmilie::bsmilie:

Actually the power is in the ability to retain details and resolution after Cropping in .. It a way to prove that the sensor is solid enough to produce the resolution and the lens able to provide the details ..

Not cropping in all P&S also power !

Wasted .. only if Adrian was less cut off (just me) .. but this a powerful shot :thumbsup:

 

[LowLights]

跑路??:bsmilie::bsmilie:

Hahaha .. come back liao lah

 

[SK1968]

Wah, SK1968, the expressions of the subjects very nice and very natural!

Tks

Also the lens so sharp I can even see the cobwebs on the Bodhisattva's arms!

Can take macro ;p:bsmilie:

 

[SK1968]

I think i'll jump the gun and move on to the Kecak dance next.

Talk about job hazards, this guy definitely needs to get health insurance
