Indonesia Mangrove Trees of Walakiri Beach
The famous Walakiri mangrove trees in Sumba island, Indonesia. There are about two dozen mangroves off the beach in this location for you to find your compositions.
Photography Tips
A low angle works best in this location.
The mangrove trees are very easy to reach from the beach, thus you will compete for spots with dozens of other visitors. Stick to your composition and wait for the moment the view is cleared from other people or patches multiple pictures together on post to remove the tourists.
The tourists will mostly disperse once the blue hour starts, so it is your chance to shoot good long exposures on your preselected compositions when the spot is completely yours. Then the time is right to get the most out of the blue hour as you can get the best clean images free from other tourists at this 5 - 15 minutes window at this location.
