Visited East Java last weekend. Thanks Boroangel for the information. It was indeed freezing cold at Bromo after sunset. I was lucky to have my "extreme winter attire" with me. Arrived at the observation platform before 0415hr and it was already crowded with tourists. I managed to secure a...

Read about the event and decided to try my shots on the dancers with my 70-200mm again. Not familiar with "town" and was disorientated after getting out of the carpark. One good thing from taking up photography, even if I fail to achieve at any decent level of technical skill, is that I get...

Spent one week in Bali (relatively long) but lazed around most of the time. Stayed at Sanur for the first 2 nights and proceeded to Ubud, a friend's "rest house", for the rest of the trip. Since I am not a good photographer, the objective for the trip was to rest, away from work, and may be...
