Christmas is just around the corner and the feeling has been in many places. Every mall has been decorated, houses has been full of Christmas light, and little children (and some adult) are preparing their Christmas socks to hang near their bed.
WISH YOU ALL MERRY CHRISTMAS… May the joy of Christmas will be with you through all the year.
In Bali, You can almost see statue everywhere and they have different shape as well as size. Interestingly, there are more than hundreds of variation of the statue and there are few that gigantic, that they put in the middle of roundabout, to the smallest that they can put inside your bedroom.
This statue I notice lie outside temple. Bali has hundreds of temple and there are few outstanding one, most common one that you can found is the temple at Tanah Lot. I like this statue, it is like giving feeling of welcoming. It is most common gesture for Balinese people to welcome and even to say hello, if you have been travel to Thailand, they also do the same gesture.
The statue that has elephant nose, is at the entrance of my hotel. It is likely they worship this statue every morning as I can see many flower trace that found near the statue. Although Bali famous with their sunrise and sunset landscape, their statue also bring strong interest to some group of religious that come mostly from India, Thailand, Cambodia and even Indonesia itself.
I love Bali and next few post are still related to Bali.
I love Bali, I have been there many times and yet I still love to go there again and again. Every visit in Bali I have different experience and this time not only visiting beach and mountain in Bali, but also I visit superb underwater life in Bali. It is indeed memorable holiday and really refreshing and also superb relax time in Bali. The island is famous for the beauty of the beach as well as mountain. One of hot destination for tourism internationally.
Tanah Lot
If you have visit Bali or googling place in Bali, Tanah Lot is among the highest recommendation for you to go to visit for their sunset. This is the place where many people send their honeymoon trip, proposing, as well as favorite wedding photo. The place is really beautiful with reddish sky and sometimes you can see bright golden color.
Every time I go to Tanah Lot, I do seeing different sky color and even in this trip, I went twice and seeing two different color of sky as well as I am not bored by the beauty of the place. Sunset is really beautiful and it is indeed superb place to visit.
I am a big fans of Adobe Lightroom, really big big fans as almost entire of my photo are develop using Lightroom and it is indeed really a great product. There are few advantages that you can find using Lightroom when you are editing your picture but today topic I would not discuss about that, or rather today I wanna share how to make restive effect popping out from your picture.
This is the picture that I too from Tioman during my dive trip, I personally love this one as it is really bring memory back and also the environment, beach at behind really bring out the feeling of relax. so I want to bring more details and use restive effect to this picture to bring out details as well as sharpness. Now the question is how do I do this?
I will divide this tutorial into two areas, one is tone, another one is presence. First lets go to tone area. Lets talk about Tone.
Increase exposure for a little, as it will bring more light, then put recover to 60, fill light to the max, then get black to 73. So my picture will be looks like more colorful and you will notice the different significantly by doing this.
Next we go to presence. put clarity and vibrance to max +100 to really make the color sharp, then decrease saturation to -86 so each color blend really well. This saturation is based on preference but I like each color blend nicely and the sharpness we still can found.
This picture show the different between before and after post processing. As you can see, it does bring restive effect from my picture to be more sharp as well as the ocean feeling. You can use this tutorial to bring more significant color from your picture, and also you can copy and paste into your website, but just link back to this page and I will be very happy.
Here are the histogram, happy trying
