A black and white affair

in #monomad7 years ago (edited)

I happened to get another shot almost at the same place and angle at the Uluwatu temple of Bali recently, as the ones I took about two years ago...

I wanted to go for an almost minimalist, Zen-like look but the clouds had something else in mind...

Anyway, enjoy the differences!

My recent shot
No fancy sunset... it was cloudy instead
But I caught the sun's brilliance reflected off the surface of the sea!
Hence, the bigger portion of the image was accorded to it

This, and the next shot was taken in 2017
We had a brilliant sunset
That actually got applause all around... I kid you not!
I posted this sunset in colour and a couple in b&w, but not these two yet
Amazing blue and orange shades in the sky, and fancy patterns of white clouds, as you can see here

And I actually - for once... - caught the sun slipping down into the sea!
My first!

So, what a comparison, ehh...
My latest shot and these from two years back...

Hahaha! Wayyyy down below... :D
Somehow it was more a moving body of water rather than actual waves there, except when they crashed on the rocks! I'll try to post something of that soon...

It's surf season there now! Lol, go on a swell! :)

You did achieve some lovely minimalist shots these are all beautiful

Awww, thank you, JJ!
I have this image in mind that I wanted but doesn't really come close... lol

Thats because you like most photographers including myself are so hard on yourself the photos you get which everyone loves are never quite what you wanted, i know I am guilty of the same thing :)
