Bali

[Bukitimah]

I have been shooting mainly macro over the past 1 year. Now I am moving into landscape and would like to share some recent shots taken while on a trip to Bali. Hope to hear some tips on how to improve.

I love travel photography and photos from lands I've yet to visit. Bali is high on my list. #'s 1,2,3 suffer from under-exposure of the subjects. While you kept the sky from blowing out completely the subjects are too dark and lack vibrance as a result. A reflector or flash could be used to "fill" or you can just not worry about blowing the highs and get the subjects exposed properly.

#3 is a pretty cool Silhouette but that sun just destroys an otherwise beautiful image. In this case you might have tried exposing for the sky and totally black out the subjects.

Trever1t, thank you for the comments. Landscape is still a fairly new subject to me. Yes, the sun was very strong throughout the 4 days while I was there.

The first thing that struck me was in the first one you took the shot from a perspective that placed the people under the sun in the image. Steeping to the right (if possible) a few steps would have put the people Andrew left and the sun to the right. As it is I feel the image lacks balance- if the sun were over to the right instead of directly over them it would help balance it out.
