'Bali Coastline' Photo

Photographer’s Note

A shot from the Alila Manggis Resort in Bali where I've just spent the weekend. Although I've been to Bali a few times before, this is the first time I've stayed in the eastern part of the island. An interesting feature of the eastern part is the black rocky beaches, which I believe might have something to do with the close proximity to the volcanos on the island.

I used a Lee brand neutral density graduated filter to tone down the highlights and a circular polarizer to add more punch to the shot.

I hope you like the shot. More to come...
- Dan
