Brand new Bali - Lombok Photography Workshop and Tour
In March 2017 a very special event happens on the beautiful
island of Bali
Nyepi, or the day of silence is a time of celebration, and welcoming in the bad spirits to the island. On this special day the island effectively shuts down for 24 hours. However the days leading up to the silent day are full of drama, colour, and celebration, ceremonies at the temples and on the beach, parades and just plain fun.
AND YOU CAN BE A PART OF IT!
Dave Metcalf and Mark Rayner will be leading a group of photographers into the heart of this celebration with a very exciting photography workshop.
But that is not all, as the workshop will start in Lombok:
"We will be venturing across the water to another beautiful island with another unique and very different cultural experience.”

“On Lombok we will be staying at the beautiful Tugu hotel, a photographic experience in itself and one of the most beautiful hotels in Indonesia.”
Lombok is blessed with stunning landscapes:
Ranging from exquisite white sandy beaches, lush green rice fields with towering Gunung Rinjani (Indonesia’s second highest volcano) as a backdrop, massive striking headlands to turquoise coloured bays and waterfalls – it offers us everything we can wish for! Not to mention spectacular sunrises and sunsets!

We will photograph all of this and also venture into hidden
villages to meet the Wetu Telu people who still practise age old beliefs.
These will be days of magic and wonder and don’t expect to see many if any other tourists. Dave has already explored these places and established very good contacts on the ground which will ensure we experience something very special.
Those include Stunning landscapes at sunrise, Lake Batur and the fisherman out
for their early morning catch, The salt farmers of Kusamba.
The ancient ceremony of Melasti down at the beach, when homage is paid to the spirits of the ocean.
Ending with the probably greatest highlight: The annual Ogah Ogah parade when huge effigies’ of the devil are paraded through the streets and then taken to the cemetery to be set alight!
