Bromo - Ijen Tour

11/16/2009

If you decide to make traveling over Indonesia do not ever forget to stop by Mount Bromo, the mother of active volcano in East-Java, Indonesia.
Bromo Caldera is the youngest caldera from well-known Tengger Caldera a volcanic massif extending from Semeru volcano with 16 km width. The massive Tengger volcanic complex dates back to about 820,000 years ago and consists of five overlapping stratovolcanoes, each truncated by a caldera. The volcano has summit elevation 2329 meter, latitude: 7.942°S and Longitude: 112.95°E 112°57'0"E last eruption was on 2007.

An overlapping cluster of post-caldera cones was constructed on the floor of the Sandsea caldera within the past several thousand years. The youngest of these is Bromo, one of Java's most active and most frequently visited volcanoes. Bromo is the most favourite and most visited by the tourists.

Cold, are the things that are the first you feel when you off from the car and step-down feet

Visitors usually 3:30 start of their visit to the first destination, they are very early in the morning to visit Penanjakan 2774 witnessed the highest elevation from the mountains at sunrise, because this mountain is the highest peak in the surrounding areas. To achieve this mountain you need sea sand (looks like a desert) per dry sand flying with Bush every possible is to make it difficult for tourists to breathe easy way to combat the cultivation of a combination of lost, especially in the dark .

Narrow road that curves Penanjakan en rout to climb the mountain roads, you course is to dedicate it requires a sufficient driving skills. Expected to avoid lifting things happen, usually the local visitors who know this area intimately and is driven by people Penanjakan jeep4x4WD use to reach the mountain. They are very visitor, a very good hospitality, you can feel like home.

The sunrise will take place at around 05.20 – 05.40 AM depend on season, the best time to see the sunrise would be around at May – September (no rainfall within that month).

It is usually after sunrise and then move back to the sand ocean exploration Bromo crater. There will be an option, so that the crater, first of all you can easily walk or if you want to try how to feel on horseback, you can sit, and only 7-9 U.S. dollars, it went back and forth from the jeep and the need for parking spaces 15-20 minutes to reach the mountain riding bromine stairs, then you should step up to the stairs to reach the crater (elevation 1.392) Edge. 250 stairs from the first step until the final few steps, but sometimes people are calculating a flight of stairs (I have been found to have a different number are 248 steps, but my teammates calculated 246), it seems very strange, but true .

Beside Mount Bromo, East Java has also amazing place to go. That is Kawah Ijen (Ijen Lake). The Ijen volcano is located in the east of Java province of a group of small stratovolcanoes constructed within the large 20-km-wide Ijen (Kendeng) caldera. The last eruption was on 1999The north caldera wall forms a prominent arcuate ridge, but elsewhere the caldera rim is buried by post-caldera volcanoes, including Gunung Merapi stratovolcano, which forms the 2799 m high point of the Ijen complex. Immediately west of Gunung Merapi is the renowned historically active Kawah Ijen volcano, which contains a nearly 1-km-wide, turquoise-colored, acid crater lake.

Summit Elevation: 2799 m 9,183 feet Latitude: 8.058?S 8?3'30"S Longitude: 114.242?E 114?14'30"E

Kawa Ijen picturesque, is the world's largest highly acidic lake, is a labor-intensive site, sulfur mine sulfur hand basket filled with action, carried out from the crater floor. Many other post-volcanic cone and crater of the volcano is located within or along its edges. After the war's largest concentration of volcanic cones constitute the EW to the south across the volcanic area.

Coffee plantations cover much of the Ijen caldera floor, and tourists are drawn to its waterfalls, hot springs, and dramatic volcanic scenery.

You may be needed at least 3 days journey to grab all the beautiful things of both Mount Bromo and Kawah Ijen. Bellow arrangement will showed how the itineraries going;

From Bromo to Ijen

This package is the most favorite tour for visitors who want to make the journey in very brief. Raising lots of sun and beautiful scenery of the sea-sand with a vivid image of the whole shape mt. Semeru vision from the highest point of Penanjakan 2774 ASL. So, prepare to spend a memorable experience never before imagined.

Connecting trip from Bali to Yogya, or from Yogya to Bali :

From Yogya: Take a train or domestic flight through Surabaya, end of tour at Ferry Terminal to catch a boat to Bali

From Bali : Take a boat to cross the Bali strait to Ketapang Terminal, end of tour at Surabaya air port / Train station to Yogya.

Day 1 >> Surabaya - Bromo
Meet with our guide at Surabaya air port signing JavaBush or written your name on the page. Our private comfort coach then takes you to Mt. Bromo, en routing to rural settlement and hilly road with green coloring of paddy field along the way will make your eyes fresh. If the time permitted we can stop at Madakaripura water fall, this spectacular waterfall lies hidden at the end of a deep valley in the foothills of the Tengger range. The water has cascades from the dense forest above. The primary attraction is natural environment that is encircled by 7 waterfalls and caves. Check in the hotel located at the last village, which it is facing to smokes Bromo crater.

Day 2 >> Bromo - Ijen
Wake up at very early morning, making short preparation for Sun Rise tour, and then the private jeep 4x4WD will drive you up to Penanjakan Mountain 2774 asl as the highest place to the Sun Rise and amazing view of mountain range. You may become live witnesses how amazing Bromo view that spread in your naked eyes, the sun with pink color ray with gold-yellow silhouette drift on slowly from east horizon. It will grab you in to the different atmosphere and unforgettable moment that you never imagine before. After that, proceeding drive back to Bromo crater to witness the crater from closed. Back to the hotel for breakfast, short back packing and heading to Ijen volcano in Bondowoso. Around 5 hours drive en routing flat and hilly curves road, stop for picture taking would be an option subject to your interest. Check-in the Ijen Resort hotel and stay overnight.

Day 3 >> Ijen – Surabaya / Ferry Terminal Banyuwangi
Early in the morning, well before sunrise, we drive a short way to the start of the trail that leads up to the active, beautiful crater of Kawah Ijen volcano (about 1 hr climbing) with its famous blue acid lake (the most acidic in the world!) and the hot, partly liquid sulphur deposits .
The fumaroles are so hot that sulphur comes out as green vapour. The vapour is collected by large pipes, through which the vapor condenses, and at the exit you see red rivulets of liquid sulphur, which then freeze to solid deposits.? These deposits are quarried, in order to obtain huge blocks of pure sulphur. Ijen's sulphur deposits are infamous for the local workers who quarry the sulphur with primitive, health-devastating methods,- an incredibly difficult job.
Gas-masks are provided for your visit to the crater. After plenty of exploration time, we leave the Ijen Plateau transfer to Surabaya airport or other destinations.

Finally, I wish have a nice journey and safe trip.

See you in Bromo..

Glossary of a paint (picture, photo) software

10/20/2009

A

anchored

When a selection is incorporated into the image or canvas area.  When anchored the marquee will disappear from around the selection.

aspect ratio

The ratio of width to height of an image on a television, motion picture, or computer screen.

azimuth

Places an imaginary light source at a specific angle flat to the image. Azimuth works in conjunction with the elevation to position a light source for generating the 3d emboss effect. A value of 0 is from the right, -90 is from the bottom, 90 is from the top, and 180 or -180 is from the left.

B

binary

Computers, programs and files are based on the binary numbering system, which consists of just two unique numbers, 0 and 1. All operations that are possible in the decimal system (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) are equally possible in the binary system. 

brightness

A visual perception, when an image appears to emit more or less light.

brush width

The width of the lines or dots used to create an oil painting image.  The number is relative to an artistic brush size.

C

color channel value

Contains all of the pixel information for a single color. A grayscale image has one channel, an RGB image has three channels.

color depth

The number of colors that an image contains.

contrast

The difference in brightness between the light and dark areas of an image.

crosshatch

Shading consisting of multiple crossing lines.

D

dockable

The ability to attach a toolbar to different sections of the display.  An undocked toolbar can be resized and moved freely on the screen as a separate window.

E

elevation

Places the light source at a specific angle above the image. Elevation works in conjunction with the Azimuth to position a light source for generating the 3d emboss effect.  A value of 0 places the light source flat to the image, producing more shadows and a dark image. A value of 90 places the light source directly over the image,  producing very few shadows and a light image.

F

feather

A transition zone between the body of a selection and its edge.  The transition zone incorporates a portion of the area outside of the selection and gradually decreases the opacity until the selection fades at the edges.

G

gamma

The range of color values a monitor, scanner, or printer can display. Adjusting this value increases or decreases the intensity of the light spectrum. A gamma corrected image simulates the adjusted display value when it is saved.

H

hue

The value of the color in the visible spectrum. A color with a minimum value is red. As the value increases the color changes, but the lightness and saturation remain the same. One of the three components of the HSL mode.

J

jaggies

The jagged stair-stepping effect often seen in images whose resolutions are so low that individual pixels are visible.

L

lightness/luminescence

The brightness value of a color. A color with a maximum lightness is white. A color with a minimum lightness is black. One of the three components of the HSL mode.

lossless rotation

Lossless rotation happens when an unmodified JPEG image is rotated. When the image is rotated it maintains all the pixels in the exact location as the original image. The best JPEG images for rotation are obtained from digital cameras, as they are preformatted to the correct dimensions. The dimensions must be a multiple of 8 or 16.

M

metadata

Metadata is saved as part of an image. Most often, metadata is generated by a device, such as a digital camera. Some metadata can be added or changed by the user. For example, file name, file time and date, and image dimension.

N

noise

The effect produced when a variety of pixel colors are used in the same color region. Noise is often produced when an image is resized or converted to another format.

O

opacity

Determines how visible the effect is when it is applied to the image or selection.  An Opacity of 100 is solid, while an opacity of 1 is near invisible.

P

pixel

Short for Picture Element, a pixel is a single point in a graphic image.  A unit of measurement for monitor resolution and image size.  A monitor pixel is composed of a red, green and blue dot to produce a color on screen.

pixelation

An effect which occurs when a bitmapped image is enlarged so that the individual pixels are obvious to the eye.

plug-in

An external module that adds functionality to a program.  Many plug-ins provide additional file format support, while others pertain to feature enhancement.

R

raster image

An image composed of individual pixels.  The image quality of a raster image is higher than a vector image, but changing the size of an image adds or subtracts pixels from the image, changing its composition.  Resizing also changes the file size. FotoCanvas only supports raster images.

RGB

The Red, Green, Blue values in a color.  The value represent how much of each color is present, the higher the value the brighter the color. White has an RGB value of 255, 255, 255.  Black has an RGB value of 0, 0, 0.

S

saturation

The purity of a hue or the amount of grey it contains. A color with a maximum saturation is vivid; a hue with a minimum saturation is grey. One of the three components of the HSL mode.

selection

An object or portion of an image highlighted by a marquee. A selection remains separate from an image until it is anchored.  See Using the Drawing Toolbar.(not avaialble in FotoCanvas Lite)

V

variance

The number of colors across the brush width that FotoCanvas uses to create the color of each brush stroke.

vector image

An image composed of shapes, not individual pixels.  The shapes in the image are defined by mathematical formulas and the size of the file is independent from those formulae.  Resizing a vector image does not change its quality.  FotoCanvas does not support vector images. Images are converted to a raster image and must be saved as a FotoCanvas supported file type.

vibrance

The color saturation of the Brush width. Increasing vibrance intensifies the color, making it brighter, whereas decreasing the vibrance makes the color dull.

W

weight

Creates the shadow relief, or carved look, of the image.  A Depth value of 1 produces a minimum of shadows and a value of 15 produces the maximum shadow relief.
