Ubud, Bali, Indonesia
Canon EOS 50D, 10-22mm @22mm, 1/15 sec, f/7.1, ISO320

During an early morning visit to Ubud, in Bali, Indonesia, we paused at this bridge for some photos. This is an old bridge that has since been replaced with a more modern bridge on the left side of this photo, and the old bridge has been retained for pedestrians.
The bridge was in pretty poor condition, with plenty of rust holes in structural components, and some areas where you could lose a leg through the wooden boards.

The lush plant growth on each side of the bridge, the interesting reflection of the sun on the car window in the centre of the photo, and Dwi (our driver) contemplating in the background all add some interest.

The black and white conversion was done using Silver Efex Pro 2 from Google's Nik Collection. I love using my wide-angle Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens in urban situations, as it allows me to capture very wide images like this one.

Less than a week ago, we were holidaying in Bali, Indonesia. Having been back at work for a few days, our time in Bali seems like a long time ago already!
I'll be sharing a selection of photos taken in Bali in the coming weeks.

These photos were shot at Tjampuhan Ridge, near Ubud. We were here early, to catch the sunrise, and this photo was shot once the sun was in the sky. I love how the low side-lighting emphasises the slopes on the ridge, and provides warm light on the lush greenery.
