The beauty is always able to be served from every corner of Kendari Bay. This bay was originally named Vosmaer Bay, from the name J.N. Vosmaer, a Dutch sailor who stopped on the east coast of Sulawesi in 1831 to add fresh water supplies. The beauty of the bay made him choose to stay for a while to create a hydrogafi map. The Dutch queen allowed the use of the Vosmaer name for the bay on February 6, 1835. In the second voyage to the bay of Kendari to form the VOC trading post on the eastern coast of Sulawesi, Vosmaer was stricken with a severe fever and died. His body was taken down at Buton on January 13, 1836.

Behind The Lens

Location

I am hunting photos when this moment appears. I passed on the north side of the bay and realized the light on the horizon was beautiful.

Time

When this photo is over I made the clock showing 18:04 for middle indonesian time.

Lighting

Because clouds and normal light appear to be contrast and well-balanced, it is important to shoot by utilizing the low light produced naturally. To create the right frame, I use the semi-wide lens 18-55mm. I do not use filters and only use natural light with exposure settings so that the images look natural.

Equipment

Canon EOS 1100D, Canon lens 18-55mm, and tripod.

Inspiration

The atmosphere is natural and soothing. Kendari city is a bay city with medium temperatures. The life of the townspeople around the bay is very illustrated from this picture.

Editing

Yes. I do post-shooting process with Adobe PS-CS4. I just lift the intensity of highlights by 15% and done.

In my camera bag

In my camera bag there is body of Canon EOS 1100D, Canon EOS 70D, body of Sony @ 6000L mirrorless camera, Canon 50mm lens, Canon EF-S 18-55 IS II lens, Canon 16-135mm lens, Canon telelens 70-300mm with macro, Sony lens E-PZ 16-50 OSS, tripod, monopod, flash, filter kit.

Feedback

Actually nature is talking to us through its elements. Nature wants to convey something and the photographer should be the most sensitive to capture the messages and share them through photos. Under normal conditions, it is important to read any changes in the intensity of light that the camera will reduce. In coastal or aquatic areas, the intensity of light becomes twice as strong as it is influenced by the reflection of the mirror effect of water, so the camera setting is a bit more complicated. Remember, in the conditions of marine waters, it is important to pay attention to the safety of shooting equipment. Dry air of sea water also flew small granules of salt that can impact on the mechanical performance of the lens. Remember to immediately clean up the equipment after photo hunting around the ocean waters.
