LAWANG SEWU, as A MYSTERY TOUR

Old building located in Semarang, Central of Java, Indonesia. Many local and foreign tourists suck up to visit him. Perhaps because of the shape of the building is so large, old or because there are many myths of the people who heard about this Lawang Sewu that attracts visitors. Lawang Sewu comes from Java language, which means a thousand doors. The building is called mace sewu because it has a door that is very much even though the door was not up to a thousand. Lawang Sewu is a historic landmark built by the Dutch colonial government, on February 27, 1904. The building was originally established for use as Office of Private Railway Company NIS. But because there are some constraints that hinder its development then all eventually stalled and is now used for tourist place even though the building was pretty much saving a mystery. I got some pictures when I visited (click the pic. if you want to see the original one).

HOW TO MAKE LEVITATION PHOTO

Levitation photo, what is that..?? This is a photography technique that make it seem as if the fly without any assistance and editing. Unlike the jump. Because the levitation picture is a flat expression is indispensable. Do not let the facial expressions look forced and certainly the man must seen floating leisurely. I was inspired from a Japanese girl Natsumi who like to make the levitation photo, and you can see the picture of natsumi in her blog or web, this one   http://yowayowacamera.com/ and http://yowayowacamera.blogspot.com/.  So i want to share about How To Make Levitation Photo.

1. Before the start of levitation should be tightened clothes first so do not float when the jump could use a safety   pin, and long hair must be in a strong hairspray or pigtails the hair. so photos look unique, use a book, umbrella or goods that look . It is as if the person is doing something with the fly.

2. I give example someone who bring the bottle. So you must taking the preparation as relaxed as possible, do not use emotion, clear your mind and relax, look forward. Remember, we are not jumping at random, but we do a refusal relax. Feel that we are going to fly off with easy. And do not imagine that you will fall after the jump. because surely you can keep from falling, and it will be a reflex from yourself. So you must imagine relax relax and relax first.

3. Then throw your body into the air with ease and the most common facial expressions or expressions are flat. Do not jump with emotion because it affects the expression when you jump. Jump with legs bent 90 degrees or 75 degrees. Use the freeze technique when shooting. use high speed, or can be continuous shooting and the proper focus. Use a camera angle where the object can look really fly.

4.After the jump, use a strong landing to keep from falling. Do not play levitation in a slippery place. because it can fail and drop landings

Must strong landing

5. Then the result will looks fly. Fly with ease as if someone out from the big door with bring a bottle.
