43 out of 50 museums in Jakarta participate in this event and have their exhibition booth at the location. Many people come to see each museum booth and interact with the staff.

Got a compliment to stay at Parai Beach Resort, one of the best resort in the Island! Despite the unfriendly weather condition, we managed to go around the island and took pictures at some tourism spots the island got to offer.

You can click the inverted little planet image below to see VR360° photos of Parai Beach Resort and some other places Bangka Island where we’ve visited. Enjoy!

Wego Indonesia Community Manager, Achmad Alkatiri, came to us a couple of days before the event, asking whether is it possible to create a VR360° of the event. What kind of question was that? It was very unlikely that we would say impossible! Other than the VR360°, we also took some pictures of the event.

What is Wego anyway? Wego is a travel search website. We can search (and buy) airline tickets and also book your favorite hotel. There is also a “Datewise” section which will show us when is the best time to go with the cheapest (or most expensive) airlines fare! Go to Wego Indonesia to find out your self.

Here are some photos from #WegoParty and if you want to see the VR360°, just click at the Wego logo.

Once again, congratulations Wego Indonesia for the new website!

Get “The Museum Project” Exclusive T-Shirt by supporting this project!

This year, we will be shooting museums in Indonesia.

The long run goal of this project is to have an online website with simple information and attractive 360° virtual tour of museums in Indonesia. This way, everybody will have a “virtual access” to every single museum in Indonesia! Thus, in the end, everybody will realize that Indonesia has a lot of beautiful museums to be proud of! Not to mention the historical & cultural information we might get from the museums when we actually visit the museum.

Click on each respective logos at the end of this post and you’ll be redirected to its 360° virtual tour.

As soon as we finished creating a tour for other museum(s), we will add it here and also announce it via our Twiiter & Facebook Page. Once we already shoot several museums, we will try to create a website to put all things together .

Which other museums do you want to ‘visit’ with just a click from your desktop / tablet / mobile devices? Please drop a comment at this post, and we will try to make it happen! Even better if you provide us the contact number and/or person in charge for that museum.

And, if by any chance, there are somebody who is working / in charge at a particular museum and want to have its museum “virtualized” for free, please do contact us and we’ll get back to as soon as possible.

Click on PictFest 2011 logo below to go to the VR360°, use thumbnails at lower left corner to change between each VR360°.

Once we’re back in Jakarta, we started processing the frames and end up with 89 VR360°. We will share some of them here, but  the rest of the VR360°s are available at our other online portfolio page at 360cities.

This one is a panorama of a traditional Sasak tribe village in Senaru area. Sasak is the original inhabitant of Lombok Island.

At another village, I was allowed to shoot inside their house. I convert the final result to black & white version.

One amongst many other highlights at Lombok is Mount Rinjani with 3726 meter above sea level at its summit. Rinjani is an active volcano, and at the altitude of approximately 2000 meter above sea level, there is a vast Segara Anak Lake as its caldera. We took a panorama from Senaru Rim at 2650 meter above sea level, but unfortunately a thick cloud is blocking the view of the summit which located just below the sun.

Lombok also known for its small islands with crystal clear sea water and white sandy beach, located around the main island.  These two below are panorama from Gili Sudak and Gili Nanggu.

The more popular gilis are Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Gili Meno. Not like the above gilis, these gilis has more lodging & cafes with various entertainment. These are panoramas from those three gilis.

Using Google Earth application? You may want to try activating 360Cities photo layer and start looking for the red dots on Lombok Island….well some of the red dots belong to somebody else, but I can assure you that more than 70 red dots are ours.

Hope you will enjoy our Lombok 360° panoramas!

Technical details
All panoramas were shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II with EF 8-15mm f/4 L USM Fisheye lens, and of course using a tripod with Nodal Ninja 5 panoramic head or a Nodal Ninja Fanotec Pole Series 1 combined with Ultimate R1 panoramic head

Canon Photo Marathon Indonesia 2011 took place in Yogyakarta (September 24th) and Jakarta (October 1st), and we are attending the Jakarta event. Managed by PT Datascrip as an exclusive distributor of Canon camera products, claimed that more than 3000 photographer, both from Yogyakarta and Jakarta, participated in this event . Besides photo competition, there are also some photography workshops conducted by professional photographers in Indonesia. Winners of the photo competition will receive, of course, Canon cameras, and tickets to Photo Clinic to Tasmania, Australia.

During the event, we managed to shots some pole panoramas at the location, which is Ancol Eco Park. This place is amazingly huge, even with 2500+ participants wandering around to get their best shots for the competition, there are still many areas un-explored by them. Below is 10 panoramas (out of 18) that we took using a 9 feet pole to get a ‘different perspective’ of the event.

The rest of the panoramas are also available at our other online portfolio at 360cities.
