The Photo was taken at Puncak Darma, Geopark Ciletuh, Sukabumi, West Java, Indonesia.
I've spent an entire month living there doing a community service program as a college student.
Now, the place is no longer look like the one that I captured, it's so different, because now the government had took over the place and destroy the beauty of its nature.
I also sorry had to add some more information about the photo, I lost the original file because I broke my hard drive's laptop in 2017, I really wish I could get the original file.

Behind The Lens

Location

The Photo was taken at Puncak Darma, Geopark Ciletuh, Sukabumi, West Java, Indonesia. I've spent an entire month living there doing a community service program as a college student.

Time

It was around 4 PM-5Pm in the afternoon, the golden hour just started.

Lighting

I was just reach the hilltop using a mountain bike with my friends. We were planning to camped for the night. I honestly didn't planned to do any shots, I guess it was really a great coincidence that I got there the right time with my camera on my sling bag. I immediately took the shots, the people on the frame just happened to be there, it was lucky.

Equipment

It was only a camera and a KIT lens, which is Canon 600D with the 18-55mm F/3.5 KIT Lens

Inspiration

It was the beautiful landscape really. It was such a beautiful sunset that I suddenly feel the urge to capture the moment.

Editing

I think, back then I still only use Photoshop to do a post-processing, my goal was to make the silhouette more dramatic and can tell a story.

In my camera bag

Back then I usually took everything I got, which was pretty much a standard and a very beginner equipment, which is camera, main lens and tripod. Nowadays however, I do a lot of street photography on human interest, so I always brought my main camera which is a cheap Sony A6000 with 35mm lens. but when I go hunting for a Landscape photo, I always bring everything I got, which probably not as much as people would think; Camera, KIT Lens, 35mm Lens, 12mm Lens, tripod, Intervalometer, 2-6 stop ND filter and 10 Stops ND Filter, and extra battery.

Feedback

My advice would be as so many photographer had already said, you need to go out and shot! Go planned a trip dedicated for your favorite genre of photography, those experiences will only get you better at it!
