Bali: Uluwatu Temple…
by Rodney Campbell on Jul.28, 2013, under Life, Photography
We succumbed to having a driver take us on a half day trip to a few touristy places… We headed out to Uluwatu (Pura Luhur Uluwatu) to see the temple at the tip of the coastline and to be accosted by the monkeys :). The main temple is perched majestically on the edge of a steep cliff that towers above the sea. Ideally if the weather was any good (and it wasn’t) you’d stay here for a magic sunset and then maybe a Kecak dance in the grounds of the temple.
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.
This was also my first day without my trusty D-SLR (destroyed on rocks the previous day) and instead from here on out I’d be using a totally foreign camera – my eldest daughters Olympus Pen E-PL1 with the Olympus 14-42mm kit lens she had brought. Once I’d figured a little bit of how to use it (like not shooting everything at ISO 3200 for the first hour or so :() – it actually did a pretty reasonable job – still no viewfinder (optical or otherwise) was a real pain/shock 🙂

It’s all smiles with the monkey here but soon after this was taken one of the monkeys stole my youngest daughters thong right off her foot and ate some chunks right out of it before we could get it back 🙂
