capturing sunrise at bromo

bromo

sept 2009

I woke up 3 am in the morning,

freezing...

wore 3 pieces clothes, gloves, scarf, socks n jacket.

n we're leaving without any breakfast..

it's about 1 hour trip from our villa.

we travelled by jeep not very comfortable but it's necessary to climb up the rocky hill. n we still have to walk. it's not far but the darkness n freezing morning makes our climbing a bit hard...

but i captured the sunrise and it's worth the effort..

and bromo is so beautiful...

dark but beautiful

the most difficult model to capture i think...

cos we can't ask them to pose the way we want to...

just be patient...

black/white

i like black and white picture...

cos you can present your picture to be more dramatic... ^^ why?

So why does black and white photography command such acclaim? One reason is that colour is a distraction. It takes attention away from the visual building blocks of a great photo; texture, tonal contrast, shape, form and lighting. A photographer shooting in black and white has to learn how to use all these elements to create a memorable image.

Another reason is that color photography, much of it mediocre, is so abundant that black and white makes a refreshing change.

From an artistic viewpoint; color depicts reality. Black and white is an interpretation of reality.
