Sunset at Uluwatu

uluwatu-sunset-bali Sunset at Uluwatu

This sunset at Uluwatu, Bali, is my picture for this week. I took this photo on my June 2011 trip to Bali, where I visited one of the most famous tourist sites. Uluwatu has been one of the top three places to visit when you are in Bali, and having been here for the first time, I never knew what to expect.

Sunset at Uluwatu

People and tour guides kept telling me that Uluwatu is well known for the Kecak Performance, the monkeys that steal items from tourists, and that there are many tourists here. Being myself, I made it a point to come even earlier to explore the place thoroughly.

Finally, during sunset hour, I headed to the main commercial area where another 200 tourists were seen taking photos. While everyone was busy at the main area capturing the sunset, I shifted my focus to the cliffs on the way up to the temple, where I found a perfect spot to capture this beautiful sunset.

To capture this sunset, I used a 105mm lens in aperture mode on my Nikon D60 DSLR camera. At first, the photos did not come out nicely, but after playing around with the settings, they finally turned out nicely.

Travel photography in Bali has always been one of my favourite subjects. I started visiting this island in 2008 and have never stopped coming back. Check out my Bali travel section if you would like to see and read more about the Island of the Gods.

Conclusion

You can also see my Tanah Lot Sunset in Bali for another shot I managed to get when I was there. I had an excellent time during my nine-day stay here, exploring many local and non-local places. But what mesmerized me was how the sunset at Uluwatu picture turned out, as I never expected this. So, next time you are here, keep a lookout during the sunset hour.

Beautiful sunset photo in Uluwatu! I have not been to Uluwatu, only to Tanah Lot. Which place has the nicer sunset? : )

Foong, actually I prefer Uluwatu but both are equally nice. You have to visit both in this case 🙂

Uluwatu temple is the temple located in the edge of the cliff, the perfect place to see sunset in Bali. but, beware of the monkeys, see also the entertaining kecak and fire dance, daily live 6pm
