Tanah Lot Sunset

The highlight of the first day with Dewa Marco, a driver I’ve decided to coin as “The Best Driver in Bali”, was our sunset visit to Tanah Lot. This temple sits on a rock formation and is set some distance from the shoreline, and is only accessible in low tides. At high tides and sunset, the temple offers stunning views that one can find pictures of with some Googling.

As for the both of us, we decided to do a slightly off beaten route by heading to the shoreline on the other side of Tanah Lot, and I finally got to use my newly acquired B+W neutral density filter. Here’s a small selection of the sunset shots, taken using stacked ND + CPL filters, with exposure times of about 20 to 25. For the second shot in this post, Ling had to remain absolutely still for 6 seconds; I got another shot of her in the same backdrop where I opened the shutter for 30 seconds… but she moved LOL :).
