Karimunjawa Trip

01 Jul

Hehehehehe, it’s almost 2 weeks since me and my wife took a honeymoon in Karimunjawa, the beautiful archipelago in north of Java Island. I get in to share about our journey just now, because of my activity and soon. So, here we go guys :)

It started from my wife’s resident, in Boja…

Monday, 7th of June 2010

  • 4.30, Mr. Munawar with his taxi took us to the Tanjung Mas Harbour. Arrived at Tanjung Mas Harbour at 05.30. We wait for Kartini Motor Boat that will be took us to the Karimunjawa Island
  • 07.00, We departed from Tanjung Mas to the Jepara Harbour. It was not go directly to the Karimunjawa, because on that schedule, the boat will be transit in Jepara and after that it will be go to Karimunjawa Island.

    @Tanjung Mas, ready to go - destination Jepara

    Transit for a while @ Jepara

    When you want to take a trip to Karimunjawa, I suggest you to confirm about the boat schedule to the ASDP Jepara (hotline : (0291)591048 ) .  There are 2 kinds of boat, Muria and Kartini.
    Muria is a ferry boat that depart from Jepara (usually at 9.00 am.). This boat need 6 hours to reach Karimunjawa Islands (long enough to make you feel seasick  ). if you want to make a reservation ticket(for bussiness class), you can contact Mrs. Retno. She is the officer of ASDP Jepara. If you need her number, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email – helmi.fajar@gmail.com
    Kartini is a speed motor boat. It is usually depart from Tanjung Mas Harbour Semarang at 07.00 am. But it has an exception in Monday, you can use this boat from Jepara. It will depart from Jepara at 10.00 am. but again, I recommend you to contact ASDP Office for fix schedule of the ship. I bought the ticket in Semarang (Mr. Purwanto – please contact me via email to get his number). The ticket is more expensive than Muria. Kartini spend 3 hours to reach Karimunjawa (direct Semarang – Jepara)
  • 13.00 After transit in Jepara, at least, we arrived in Karimunjawa Island. ‘WOW’ that was the first word that I said to describe this beautiful island. You can imagine, we can see the bottom of the sea even if in the harbour (usually the sea surround the harbour is very turbid) .
  • In Karimunjawa, we stay at Karimunjawa Inn — (0297) 312253 with Mr. Abdul. He’s the person that preparing our need while in Karimunjawa. You can ask anything about Karimunjawa with him. Karimunjawa Inn is  a great pleace, very quite and cozy, great place to relax. We took suite room, the bathroom is very awesome, big and has garden inside it, cool indeed!!

  • We spent the 1st day in Karimun to take a rest and visit Nirwana Beach . We can just walk to reach that beach from our Inn. At that time, only me and my wife in that beach, hehehehe, felt like in a private beach

Bedugul – Tanah Lot .. Last trip on de last day in Bali

23 Apr

at least, my 1st Bali’s Journey ended with a great trip to Bedugul and Tanah Lot. Use a motorcycle and Bli Kadek’s Graco to reach those 2 places.With ’special’ permission from my boss, I extend one day in Bali from the day that I supposed to be back to Jakarta.

Thursday(22/4), I started trip from Pt’s Homestay in Hanoman’s Street Ubud at 7.30. First place to go was Bedugul. I really like to take a lot of Pura’s Potograph in there that well known with its beautiful scenery and fresh air. Hmm arrived at Bedugul, it was almost 9.30 , the sun shinned very bright at that time,,what a lucky day indeed. Yup, it took almost 2 hours from Ubud. A great view of mountain, rice field and sky appeared in a road way to Bedugul. I took this photo at Baha Village,,

Okay, let’s begin with bedugul’s photos :)

At 10.00, I went back to Ubud for checkout and preparing the next trip, to Tanah Lot and Airport. Bli Kadek with his Graco, had been waiting for us in Ubud. At 13.00,  After packed my luggage, we went to Tanah Lot. Here’s a  few photos of Tanah Lot

I really satisfied with my journey in Bali. It was great..someday I really want to get back to this place, for honeymoon maybe :P ..Really want to swim in a swimming pool that being “10 Greatest swimming in the World” in Ubud, go to Sanur, Kuta, Kintamani, stay at Tampaksiring Palace and soon..hehehhehehe,,work hard, play hard..

Bali, Akhirnya Aku Melangkahkan Kaki Juga Kesana

19 Apr

Penantian 25 tahun akhirnya tercapai sudah (lebay) hahahahaha,,akhirnya gw kesampaian ke Bali juga.  Siwi Anggoro ga akan bisa ngeceng-ceng i gw lagih hahahahaha.. teruntuk Den Mas Mukidi , sorry broder, ane mecah telor duluan yak :)

Kesampaian juga, ketika Jumat(16/4) abis shalat jumat, bos ngasi tau gw buat berangkat ke Tampaksiring. “Minggu jam 11 kamu sudah harus ada di Bali” , waks pontang-panting buat nyari tiket, hotel dan sebagainya, karena sabtu-minggu itu, gw juga ada rencana balik ke kampung halaman gw di Purworejo dengan tiket PP Jakarta – PWR sudah ditangan. Nego bin nego, akhirnya gw mutusin buat berangkat dari Yogyakarta Minggu paginya, jadi skalian bisa pulkam, trus langsung gowes ke Bali.

Minggu (18/4), pagi buta gw dianterin babeh ditengah guyuran hujan lebat menuju ke stasiun Kutoarjo. Yup, buat menuju Adi Sucipto, gw mutusin make kereta api Prameks jurusan Kta-Solo Balapan yang paling pagi. Gw harus ngejar pesawat jm 8 pagi. Sebener e ga terlalu rekomended, karena ga ada spare waktu sisa kalo terjadi keterlambatan kereta alias mefet banget. Untung pagi itu kereta ndak terlambat, itupun sampai ke Maguwo/Adi Sucipto mefet kalee, jm 7.10 menit, ane baru menginjakkan kaki di Maguwo buat cek in. Kalo pesawat keberangkatan jm9 pagi, menurut ane ideal kalo mo pake pramek dari Kutoarjo. Read the rest of this entry »

16 Feb

2nd weeks in Mumbai, we’ll arrange a long distance trip to a high place called Mahabaleshwar. It’s a mountain hills area with a lot of peak view. It took 6 hours from Mumbai to reach that place with bus. Although it would be a long journey for us, but no regret for it, because the view was very amazing and tremendous.

We departed from hostel at Powai area in 7 am. and reached Mahabaleshwar at 1 pm. It was a rough track indeed.. after took a rest for a while in Bharat hotel, we went to first hill top in afternoon. We didn’t know what would happen in our dinner in that night. Anyway, here is a pict of the hills

Digital Imaging : HDR n Stitching, Still Working on Those Things

02 Oct

High Dynamic Range, well known digital imaging..It is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of luminances between light and dark areas of a scene than normal digital imaging techniques or photographic prints. This wider dynamic range allows HDR images to represent more accurately the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight. – wikipedia

Yup, the result of this technique always makes me fascinated..I think, it’s a magic technique to make an image became more ‘hard’ and rough, but in other hand, give a wonderfull colour and great scratch on the edge.

Last week, I did a lil’ journey from my home village to Yogyakarta’s downtown,, While I was shopping, I tried to grab a piece set of building in that area. The result has been modified with HDR technique use photomatix pro.

Here are the result :

Banjarmasin, Crazy Journey to Floating Market

26 Aug

Morning 11th Aug ‘09 , at 4 a.m. +7 GMT

I has been wake up in the middle of my unconsciousness.
Yup, that day was hunting time :D

Walked from Grand Mentari hotels near Antasari Street at 4.30 a.m. , cut accross the darkness night of Banjarmasin, me and Mr. Edy with bag and camera full loaded were starting our hunting time. The target are floating point and kembang island.

Almost 2 hours, we walked, through Old Market, and at least, at 6.00 a,m we arrived at a little harbour. In that place, we rent a boat that would take us travelling on barito’s river. Hmm it was first time I saw buyer and seller get together on a river, to selling and buying each other on their shallop. I just humble, are they can swim or not?just imagine if something happen to their boat..they will fall into deep water indeed.
