Serenity in Selong Blanak (Lombok ep1.6)

On the afternoon, we went back to Slenong Blanak to capture the sunset. We have much time to explore as we arrived around 4PM.

Selong Blanak

In my walked on the beach, I founded some kids playing football and suddenly they run to the water for swimming. They look free and natural, not many kids has a chance to live like this, while some fishermans preparing their tools and boat for sailing. Just a simply living on amazing place :)

Selong Blanak

On the left edge of the beach, there are a river going from hills to the beach. My mind said that its a good spot to explore. With a new wide lens dan filter.., I think its a new beginning for me in photography specially for landscape.

Selong Blanak

The sunset show was awesome, the cloud was thin and sun itself showing the yellow red light. We took some times here until the dark. I wish I could go back there soon.

Tanjung Aan (Lombok ep1.5)

On the next day, we went to Tanjung Aan beach which remind me of my friends name, one of the well known beach in Lombok. The beach is already little bit managed as there are parking lot, warung and retribution.

Tanjung Aan

This beach also wonderful with the shallow green water on the right and left side where there is a cape (tanjung) on the center. I found some tourists here for sunbath and swimming. From the condition, I think the goverment plan to manage this area as tourist destination around this path.

Tanjung Aan

We walked to the cape and started to take some pictures there. In very eyes, there are lot interisting spot here but we didnt spent much time here.

Mawun the Special One (Lombok ep1.4)

At 4AM on the second day, we start our plan to visit Tanjung Aan from hotel, but due to some conditions we turn our way to our favorites beach, Mawun.

Sunrise at Mawun

We arrived earlier than yeaterday. The sun still not fully shinning yet. The cloud look warmed welcoming the sun, acompanied by the green blue water. This time I walked from the beach grass until the hill foot trying to capture a good landascape and enjoy. To be honest I can stay many many longer here and start dreaming that this amazing beach as my backyard someday :)

Mawun Beach

When I walked back to car, I founded that my friends are talking with villager. From him, I know that some of this area are owned by the peoples. Wow seeing this kind of condition, I wish a have alot of money to buy soon haha, but from the deep I should say that everyone of beauty lover should see this beach as public room.

Senggigi Blues (Lombok ep1.3)

After long day activity since our arrival, we took a good rest in hotel at Senggigi beach and start again to prepare the gear for the sunset. Me and Wandi went through the beach path from hotel where we can see mount Agung at Bali island as the background. Its a perfect spot!

Senggigi Beach

Its little rain at the beginning so we need to clean up our filter many times. I took the breakwater rock as the object and as usual, I tried to capture the good wave or its trail. The only problem that I just aware is my new filter is not match with ND holder so I need to hold the ND filter while capturing the moment. Hmm its remind me a few years back :)

After Sunset

In my imagine, I want to take the coral stones combines as a tone in my head where some of them trowing the green glow of moss. Hmm not perfect but I like the vibrance.
