BALI 2014 - DAY 02 - PART 01 - BARONG & KERIS DANCE

Day 02 was chock full of activities. There were the Barong & Keris Dance, visit to the Batik factory, visit to Silver factory, beautiful scenery of paddy fields both while en route to destinations and at Tegalalang, visit to Tirta Empul, visit to Goa Gajah, lunch and dinner of course and tentunya some kampung scenery and street shots.

And here are the photos from our 1st item on the Day 02's itinerary, watching the wonderful Barong and Keris Dance. Masa ke Bali kali pertama dulu memang kami dah tengok show ni tapi masa tu kami sampai lambat, show dah start, full audience and were seated way at the back dgn tiang ada depan kitaorg. Not a particularly fond experience kan. So saya memang include this dance show sekali lagi dan requested for front seat. Nak ambik byk2 foto tanpa sebarang obstructions...hihi...

Barong ni makhluk mistik di Bali and represent roh kebaikan. Roh kejahatan pula is symbolized by Rangda. There are many versions of Barong Dance di Bali ni. Show yg ni lain sikit dari the one that we seen during our 1st visit. Tapi tak kisah la tu semua kan sebab saya ni more into getting the images...hihi :)

Di depan Pura Teater Sila Budaya tu ade gadis Bali ni. Beautiful girl adorned in wonderful Balinese garb.

Photo Opp!! :)

Ni canang sari, satu bentuk offerings yg orang Bali buat untuk their gods in prayers. Ader di merata tempat, you cannot miss them, di pura hinggalah di tepi jalan. Ader yg buat offerings ni  masa pagi, tghari, petang dan malam.

Gadis manis penyambut tetamu yg datang tengok show.

I even asked akak2 ni pose...hihi. Love their kebayas.

Di shoot secara candid. Nampak cam cantik pulak: lighting, the way she leaned casually against that pintu berukir :)

We got front center seats. Dok atas kerusi rotan...hihi.

Best sebab show ni tak dlm big grand teater cam yg dulu kami tengok and therefore quite intimate, nice for photography.

Sementara show belum start, saya jalan je atas pentas rendah tu dan ambik foto2 musicians :)

Kalau tak buat cam tu, cam ner nak dpt shots cam ni kan...hihi...

And this is the jalan cerita for each acts. Honestly I have no idea who is who...haha.

Enjoy je la...hihi.

Shot yg dah memang saya plan sgt nak ambik :)

Yg ni juga :)

I'll never get tired of watching this dance. And therefore I took a LOT of shots..hihi...

Selesai show tu, saya tanya Pak Wayan boleh ke backstage. I was hoping leh ambik gambar of some of the performers. Tapi diaorg semua dah balik. Cepat betul baliknya pun...hahaha.

So ni je yg dpt saya shoot. Jadi la buat kenangan... :)

Seram? Eee... memang le tapi thinking bila la lagi nak dpt chance cam ni, tu yg jadi berani...hihi...

Saya siap pegang2 alih sebab some of this topeng terbalik terlangkup so not nice la shoot.

Beautiful delicate canang sari.
