On the third day, I visited the frozen Blue Pond and then proceeded to Shirogane by walking.

Biei's Famous Trees - Hokkaido Trip (February 2018)

Hari kedua, saya mengunjungi beberapa pohon terkenal di sekitar BIei untuk saya ambil gambarnya dan dituangkan ke dalam berbagai komposisi yang sudah saya pre-visualisasikan sebelumnya. Follow my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tirta.winata Vist my website & blog: https://www.tirtawinata.com

I visited some famous trees around BIei to take various compositions that I have pre-visualized before.

Town of Biei - Hokkaido Trip (February 2018)

Musim dingin lalu, saya berkesempatan untuk melakukan 3 sesi pre wedding di Osaka, Kyoto, dan Tokyo. Beruntung ada jeda beberapa hari antara klien satu dan lainnya sehingga saya bisa memanfaatkan waktu untuk memotret landscape. Tidak ingin hanya berkutat di sekitar perkotaan, saya memutuskan untuk terbang ke Hokkaido.

Last winter, I had the opportunity to do 3 pre-wedding sessions in Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo. Luckily there was a few days' free time between one client and another. So I decided to take the time to photograph the landscape. Not wanting to just dwell around the city, I decided to fly to Hokkaido. Landed at New Chitose Airport, I continued my journey by rail to Biei, a village in the middle of Hokkaido island. From there my landscape photography trip will begin.

Watu Lumbung Beach - Jogja Trip (October 2017)

Pantai Watu Lumbung, sebuah pantai dengan tebing dan batuan tajam yang terletak di selatan provinsi Yogyakarta. Saya datang kesana tanpa ekspektasi apapun, mengingat perjalanan dilakukan di akhir tahun yang jelas merupakan musim penghujan. Namun setelah dijalani, hasil yang saya dapat tidak terlalu buruk sebenarnya.

Watu Lumbung Beach is a beach with cliffs and sharp rocks located in the southern coast of Yogyakarta province. I came there without any expectations, considering the trip was done at the end of the year which is obviously a rainy season. But after the trip was done, the results that I got were not too bad actually.

Bali's Twin Waterfalls - Bali Trip (September 2017)

Saya kembali ke Bali untuk sebuah pekerjaan. Seperti biasa, cuaca di daerah pantai sebelah barat kembali tidak bersahabat. Langit overcast sejak sehari sebelumnya. Dan saya terpaksa memotret air terjun lagi di siang hari, beruntung cuaca cukup cerah di Bali bagian utara.

I returned to Bali for a job. As usual, the weather in the western coastal area was (again) being  unfriendly. The sky was overcast since the day before. And I was forced to go to waterfall during the day, lucky enough the weather in northern Bali was quite nice.

Bali Trip (August 2017) - Day 2

Ini adalah kelanjutan dari extend saya selama 2 hari untuk pergi ke beberapa tempat yang sebelumnya ingin saya kunjungi untuk memotret landscape. Setelah sehari sebelumnya saya pergi ke Pantai Yeh Leh, kali ini saya memotret di Air Terjun Kanto Lampo dan Air Terjun Tukad Cepung.

After the previous day I went to Yeh Leh Beach, this time I took pictures at Kanto Lampo Waterfall and Tukad Cepung Waterfall. The cloudy weather forced me to change my plans from going the beach at catch sunrise and sunset to shoot waterfalls during the day, since the waterfall is still relatively doable even when the light isn't perfect.

Bali Trip (August 2017) - Day 1

Perjalanan yang spontan dan tidak direncanakan memang lebih menyenangkan. Berawal dari sebuah project mendadak memotret pre wedding di Bali, saya memutuskan untuk extend selama 2 hari untuk pergi ke beberapa tempat yang sebelumnya memang ingin saya kunjungi untuk memotret landscape.

For me, off-the-cuff trip sometimes is twice as fun as the one that we planned carefully. Started from a last minute pre wedding project in Bali, I decided to extend for 2 days to go to some places that I really wanted to visit to do some landscape photography.

Karang Songsong Beach - Southern Banten Coastline

Kali ini saya memotret di Pantai Karang Songsong, Desa Cibobos, Lebak, Banten. Tidak seperti tetangganya Pantai Sawarna yang sudah mulai menjadi tujuan wisata, Pantai Karang Songsong masih sangat sepi. Didominasi oleh batuan besar yang mencuat dari laut serta ombak yang cukup besar, pantai ini bisa dijadikan alternatif destinasi landscape photography yang cukup menarik.

I went to Songsong Karang Beach to take some landscape photograph. The beach itself is located in Cibobos Village, Lebak, Banten. Unlike its neighbor Sawarna Beach, which has started to become a tourist destination, Karang Songsong Beach is still rarely visited. Dominated by big waves hitting the large rocks that stick out from the sea, this beach is a potential alternative for landscape photography destination.
The southern coast of Banten isn't too far from Jakarta (about 4 hours by car), but still rarely explored, possibly due to poor and damaged road access. But in recent years there has been a fairly comprehensive construction on the road so access is way more faster and easier now.

Anyer & Labuan Trip - Day 2

Saya menghadapi cuaca yang lebih buruk di hari kedua. Beralih dari rencana awal kembali ke Pantai Laguna, saya memutuskan untuk memotret di sekitar Anyer saja. Walaupun ditengah hujan, saya bersikeras untuk mendapatkan paling tidak satu foto di hari itu.

The weather was getting worse on the second day. Initially, I plan to return to Laguna Beach. Hoping that the weather will get better. But since ature being nature, I have to switch to the second plan to take pictures around Anyer. Because I thought it will be useless going to Laguna Beach in this kind of weather.
To make things worse, the rain did not seem to want to stop. And it seems that I need a little extra patience to be able to shot at least one image.

Anyer & Labuan Trip - Day 1

Tujuan saya di hari pertama perjalanan kali ini adalah Pantai Laguna, sebuah pantai yang terdapat di daerah Labuan, Pandeglang, Banten.

Eid holiday session has arrived and I made the most of it by going out to take some landscape photo. To avoid congestion, I went to Anyer and Labuan area. Although they are within the same direction with Merak port, I did not find any significant traffic during the trip.

I stayed for 2 days in Anyer. I went to Laguna Beach in Labuan on the fist day to photograph sunset, which I documented my trip with video journal above. Please enjoy!
