Temple Panorama at Tanah Lot, Bali
The huge state temple of Pura Taman Ayun, surrounded by a wide, elegant moat, was the main temple of the Mengwi kingdom, and is one of the six royal temples on Bali and thus one of the most important on the island. The large, spacious temple was built in 1634 and extensively renovated in 1937

Tanah Lot is a rock formation off the Indonesian island of Bali, and is home to the pilgrimage temple Pura Tanah Lot, a popular tourist and cultural icon. Tanah Lot means "Land in the Sea" in the Balinese language. The Tanah Lot temple was built and has been a part of Balinese mythology for centuries. The temple is one of seven sea temples around the Balinese coast. Each of the sea temples was established within eyesight of the next to form a chain along the south-western coast. In addition to Balinese mythology, the temple was significantly influenced by Hinduism.

A pura is a Balinese Hindu temple, and the place of worship for adherents of Balinese Hinduism in Indonesia. Puras are built in accordance to rules, style, guidance and rituals found in Balinese architecture. Most puras are found on the island of Bali, where Hinduism is the predominant religion; however many puras exist in other parts of Indonesia where significant numbers of Balinese people reside. Mother Temple of Besakih is the most important, largest and holiest temple in Bali. Many puras have been built in Bali, leading it to be titled "the Island of a Thousand Puras".
Pura Taman Ayun is a compound of Balinese temple and garden with water features located in Mengwi subdistrict in Badung Regency, Bali, Indonesia. Henk Schulte Nordholt wrote in his book Negara Mengwi that Taman Ayun was renovated in 1750.

A very tough life for those sulfur carriers, having to carry on their back up to 60Kg of sulfur from the bottom of the Ijen volcano several times a day.

Hello my dear friends, I am just back from a 2 week trip in SE Asia (Malaysia, Singapore & Indonesia).
In Indonesia, I was in great company with flickr buddies Rajesh & Shikharesh. Special thanks to Rajesh who planned and organized the whole Indonesia trip.

Shot during my trip to East Java Indonesia last July. This area is a famous photography spot to shoot the sunrise on Mount Bromo, sunrise was at 5.45am but we had to be there at 2am to secure a good spot, and the temperature was below 10C. During the whole trip, I used the Nikon Z7 with the Nikkor Z 14-30mm, this is an awesome combination, the 14-30mm f/4 is as sharp as my 14-24mm f/2.8, and it has a standard 82mm and I was able to use my NiSi v6 100mm filter system.
Borobudur, or Barabudur (Indonesian: Candi Borobudur, Javanese: ꦕꦤ꧀ꦣꦶꦧꦫꦧꦸꦣꦸꦂ, translit. Candhi Barabudhur) is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist temple in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia, and the world's largest Buddhist temple. The temple consists of nine stacked platforms, six square and three circular, topped by a central dome. It is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. The central dome is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues, each seated inside a perforated stupa.

Beautiful starry night over Mount Bromo caldera. Lots of cars traffic too. This was shot at around 3am. The sunrise is at 6am, if you are not there 4 hours before, you don't have to chance to secure a good spot to put your tripod!

Vertical Milky Way over Mount Bromo in East Java, Indonesia.
This is the first time I am using the so-called stacking technique to process the Milky Way. This technique is used to reduce the noise, specially when shooting at very high ISO.
I was using the Nikon Z7 & Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4, so the widest aperture I could use was f/4.
Shooting at 14mm and in order to get a sharp milky way, I applied the NPF Rule, which recommends to use 15s exposure (instead of the 500 rule which would allow 500/14=35s). Therefore I had to increase the ISO to 16,000.
So I took 9 consecutive exposures (ISO 16,000 f/4 15s), plus one so-called 'Dark Frame' and used the Sequator software to stack all the exposures.
For the foreground, I used a separate exposure at ISO 4000 f/4 144s.

Sunrise light on Kawah Ijen (Ijen Crater) and its beautiful turquoise colored lake (the largest highly acidic lake in the world). You can also see the sulfuric fumes from the sulfur mines. This was another very long day, traveling from Bromo to Ijen, hiking to the top of the crater, going to the bottom of the crater twice, first during the night to shoot the blue flames, then going up to shoot the sunrise, and going down again to shoot the sulfur mines and workers. More than 35 hours without sleep, but it was worth it! ? Nikon Z7 | Nikkor Z 14-30mm F/4 Single exposure. One can appreciate the great dynamic range of the Z7!
So much smoke in that day. We went down there when its so dark until the sun came up.
Thanks to all Phoide contributors to Indonesia!
