Nice! I esp like the 1st and 4th ones.
That must hv been one terrible eye infection to hv lasted so long. Hope you're having a good time in Bali.
Insecurity is unattractive. Smile and the whole world smiles with you.

It was a cornea infection and that usually takes a longer time to heal. The last one was in 1986 which took most of my sight away so this time, most of it in my left eye is gone. But nobody notices it because it still looks like a normal eye. Anyway, still got one good eye left.Originally Posted by lady-o-leisure

Had food poisoning when I tried nasi minang. Tasted good but paid a price for it.
I like 1 and 4 too. Thanks.

These are from the Sanur beach. Not their best beaches.

CS, if you do a fishy shot closer up on the last pic will be nice i think

I think so too. Confession time. I took 2 workshops on photography from a professional. After the workshop, he took us for a photo shoot walkabout. We copied what he did as he tried to translate what he said in the workshop into realities. It was an eye opener for me because I suddenly understand the difference between a good touristy snap shot and a good photograph. So, all along I was taking good snap shots but not good photographs.CS, if you do a fishy shot closer up on the last pic will be nice i think
In the first posting, #2 and #3 were directed by him to help us understand about contrast. For #3, I would have taken the photo straight into the face instead of pointing it down from a higher angle to focus on the flower. This is such a common statue with flowers on top all over Bali but yet, his eyes could see and composed this angle. Like he repeatedly said, "you made the photograph" (a famous photographer said that.) I am beginning to understand that statement.
Anyway, coming to your suggestion, there were many boats berthed at low tide but he spotted this little boat and all the group members took off their shoes and socks and waded to the little boat, except me. I volunteered to look after everybody's shoes. So, the shot was taken from afar. The rest had a fun time taking it close up and from various angle. Poor me, standing there.

Thanks. My medication stopped last week. It is fully recovered.

ya most will teach to see and compose before looking through the viewfinder and click away. with the fishy in hand, you should be the one getting your feet wet
..........any reason why he chose that little boat amongst so many?

I think it looked lonely and forlorn. Most of the other boats were luxury boats and painted white.ya most will teach to see and compose before looking through the viewfinder and click away. with the fishy in hand, you should be the one getting your feet wet

Btw, he organizes photo shoot trips to the Middle East but it is very expensive; like RM15K per pax.

yeap that's one of the cue so it's easier to isolate the subject and not get messy backgrounds
