[csnap] ClubMed @Bintan Island

[csnap]

Just went to the resort a couple of weeks ago.
Quite a no. of activities organized by the friendly GOs(Gracious Organisers) there.
The kids will like the programs there.
It has a nice beach of its own. 1st day weather was quite gloomy when we reached there.
C & C are welcome. Thanks for viewing.

The cloud was very outstanding for pic#1,7,12,15, do you use any GND filter or what software to PP.

Hi Bro,

Thanks for your comments
GND filter was not used for the pics.
Adjustments made to the Shadows/Highlights using ACDSee application.

You've got some nice shots here! I was there for my honeymoon during March last year but hadn't picked up photography back then. Certainly brought back wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing

I m still experimenting with the settings.
Do let me know if they have been overdone or any comments to improve it.
Thanks!

Tried to take sunrise on 2nd day by waking up at 6pm.
However, the time at Bintan is 1 hour earlier than S’pore.
So it is actually 7am at S’pore, too late for me to capture sunrise.

I am impressed with your shots & this resort. Never realised that Bintan can be so beautiful.
Mind sharing what rates did you paid for this retreat ?
Thanks

Thanks for your kind comments
Yes, it looks better than i expected too.
I tag along with my wife's corporate trip, so FOC
Think 3 days 2 nights stay cost abt $700(wkend stay).
It is including all meals, drinks(fruit juice, cocktails too) at the bars, the games, etc.
Did not manage to spend a cent cos all 3 days spent at the resort.

I think you've got some pics with very dramatic skies. Those are good shots :thumbsup: Get a subject in the beach and pair it with the skies, the pics will look great

Thanks for your comments
For pic #40, i should be using auto scene mode and set the focus inside the shelter.
The exposure for the bright sky and dark shelter should be auto-balanced by the Active D-Lighting feature if i m not wrong.
For the editing, i just increased the contrast.
