East Java, Indonesia | liewwk

Finally, I make a trip to a beautiful Indonesia again and this round managed to visit East Java which include Papuma and Bromo for seascape and volcano view …

we reach Surabaya which a real busy city , car moving slow …… and we travel ~7-8 hours down south to Tanjung Papuma … spent 2 nights with mix of cloudy and clear days we enjoy the beautiful beach , sunrise, sunset and nightsky … and I am sure will re-visit this place very soon ……….

after 2 nights spending over here , we travel ~3.5 hours to Mount Bromo. another 2 “cold” days we had on the Lava View resort which give us beautiful 2 sunrise, nightsky but no luck for sunset …….. this place like other share a very beautiful volcano … we climb up for 2 viewpoint which I will share the view soon here (by update)…

1. Penanjakan 1 – easy to access but very limit space for photography

2. Penanjakan 2 – nearer to Lava View resort but need ~20-30min moderate hike but plenty of space for shooting .. 😀

*** both view are facing direct south which have sunrise on left ….

update 2018 May 22

– this is from 2018 May Photohunter to East Java .. some capture as usual at this beautiful place

 

the sunrise view , and this is captured with Panasonic G9 80 Megapixel High-resolution Mode

– a nearer view with Mavic Air

 

– beside sunrise , sunset also can have good view here

 

– nightscape view at Mount Bromo always highlight of the tour

– after sunrise sessions, most the tourist will travel close to Mount Bromo with horse or by walk .. this could be good moment capture some good horse moment

 

 

– beside Mount Bromo, as usual we visit this lovely beach call Papuma Beach … sunrise, sunset , slowshutter and nightscape all can be attractive here

worth the risk ?

Sibuan Island

just back from Semporna, Sabah… a beautiful place where I think all photographer will love it ….

thanks our Bintulu friends share this outing with us and my gang to make this happen .. a wonderful trip even not much pictures but a trips with many good and fantastic memories …

we looking for opportunity to shoot the nightscape and sunrise on the island and managed to arrange one on 3rd day of our trip .. we decide to go to a small Island (recommended by the boatman) to have beautiful Milkyway and sunrise shot …. so we have to start leaving from ground 330am … and with small boat (that carry max 6ppl) toward a “small Island” that took us ~1hr ++ to reach … and it is almost TOTAL DARK while we travel … !!!! and it was rain too … it was so scary while we traveling to the island ..  … and no one is dare to repeat 2nd trip on next 2 days … … think back .. how could we manage to travel with small boat 1-1.5hr at total darkness … with strong wave !!!!!

and the 1st picture I capture …

Millky way under the dream house ?

 

still remember how dark when we travel to the Island … SCARY !!!!

Night trekking without light

do not want to turn on torchlight or try to walk real slow and dark … any reason ?

I did above while I was hiking up Mount Batur, Bali, Indonesia ….and because something is on my left and it is so obvious …

almost reach top

the milky way on my left

and

Milky Way again…

this is not first time I shoot Milky, but this is my very first time see it clearly … it was just above us and we can use our eye to see it … am happy able to make this outing [my East Coast visit | April 20100] and thanks for my friends going with me (Shunfa, Jason, Siah, Seesy, Xiao Yi, Ismail, Norhana & Lio) . We had wonderful trip … and could be most memorable trip for me ….

My very 1st Milky was post before here

and here was picture capture few steps out from the homestay …

Simply look up … the Milky Way

5dm2 + SIGMA24F1.8

# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 10/1 second ===> 10 second
# Lens F-Number / F-Stop = 18/10 ===> ƒ/1.8
# ISO Speed Ratings = 1600

how to capture this, simply same how I shoot stars which I share before here… except we need higher ISO to get it clearly ……….

Update later

… Milky Way …
