Mount Agung, Bali’s majestic active volcano, last erupted in June 2019. I planned a photography trip to capture the Milky Way with the volcano as a stunning backdrop. After a two-hour ride, I arrived in Tulamben, where I caught a breathtaking sunset at an event—luckily with free entry—before setting up for an unforgettable night of astrophotography.
After an early dinner in Pakisan, I prepared for a night of star photography with my Fujifilm X-T5. Finding a remote spot, I captured stunning images of the Milky Way. The experience, enhanced by the serene surroundings, resulted in breathtaking photos that I later marveled at while editing.

And in the realm of astrophotography lies a technique as enchanting as the stars themselves – the art of star trail photography. A sibling to astrophotography, this art demands patience as exposure times stretch beyond 15 minutes. A dance of intervals captures the passage of stars, weaving a mesmerizing tapestry of celestial trails. My own endeavors in this domain culminated in a star trails image, a testament to the universe’s timeless ballet.
Ever since I took up photography as a hobby, I’ve eagerly awaited Nyepi every year. Before 2020, I used to leave Bali for Nyepi Day. However, since then, I’ve celebrated Nyepi in Bali twice, and each time I’ve had a unique experience.
