Hi Howard,

The portrait of the Farmer is my favorite, but all others you have obtained
rich colors and contrast with very nice compositions,

Thanks for showing
Luis

Asunto: [Leica] Bali Pictures - Rice terrace and temple panos

Hello Luggers,
I am back from Bali and here are a few pictures taken during our time there.
The internet connections were very slow and expensive so I didn't try to
upload any photos while we were there. The panos were taken mostly with the
M8 - although there is one 10 panel pano with Esther's G9 - the stitch
program on the G9 is very handy. The panos were taken using the Novoflex
pano head which helps takes the guess work out of matching the panels and
photoshop CS 2 did the rest.


This rice farmer made more money from posing for tourists than harvesting
rice, I think.
He belongs to the National Geographic red shirt school of photography.

And here is a 10 panel pano of the tegallallang terraces taken with Esther's
G9. I panned from right to left and didn't realize there would be the rice
farmer and a Japanese tourist with a Leica Digilux in the last left panel.
On my 24" I Mac this is a really impressive image and would print out to
perhaps 8 feet long by about two feet wide. I think I need to visit the
Epson demo store and try it on the 3800.

Here is a 5 panel pano of the Taman Ayun Temple on the road to Bedugal in
the Mountains. The Temple is nominated as a Unesco Heritage site and was the
best cared for temple that we have seen in Bali

And here are the rice terraces at Bedugal - not as impressive as
Tegallallang - but pretty enough. Taken with the M8 and the Elmarit 24 from
the terrace of the restaurant where we stopped for lunch.

And lastly here is the sea scape from the Uluwati monkey temple.  
Watch out for the monkeys!
They tried to steal my camera bag filled with Leica lenses!
