'Muncak' or what local people says about getting into the top. One thing I never forgive about my self is that I can't even fucking hold steadily my camera on the summit of Rinjani last trip. Alrighty, this is about my experience to reach the top of Rinjani Mt, 3726 asl. Think I was freezing to death, barely could stand cause of the wind and just sitting freezing til the sun is come up ain't do nothing. Fucking pathetic! Fuck!
If you are familiar with the low temperature of weather then you should still consider to prepare everything. Why? Because its not only about how cold it will be on the top but also the strong wind who could shake your shutter. Tripod is always recommended since what you might see on the top worth it to be captured. The wind can be very wild blow freely through wide highway of savana.
Start from Plawangan 2639 asl 3,5 hours the summit attack moment will really fucking exhausting. Dont start too early otherwise it will just waste your time freezing up there and dont get too late as well. Leave any stuffs you dont need to bring on the tent. Just bring mineral water, enough booz, double up your jacket, tripod, your best camera with super wide and tele zoom lens.
There is a best option that you can ask your porter to carry up your stuffs. Fucking brilliant!
Photography comes in many genres, and like Hollywood producers, photographers cater to their different audiences in different forms. A good photograph, like a good picture show, will leave movies in the mind. Some genres of photography are sought more than others, some genres pay more than others, and some are easier to master than others; but one form of photography, glamour, is not as “publicly” accepted as the rest, though elements of glamour are more sought after in images today.
The irony of glamour photography’s public acceptance is the elements of it are often found in most photography. You have wedding photographers shooting photojournalistic images, but at the same time, they add just a touch of glamour in most of their “bride” photographs. Other photographers add the element of glamour in their photojournalism, nature, portraits, and fashion images, sometimes knowingly, and sometimes unknowingly.
The evidence of glamour in images is found through the smiles on model’s faces—and these rarely show teeth, only the harmony of the model’s eyes with the corner’s of her lips. Magazines like Maxim, FMH, Details, and photographers like David LaChapelle have imbedded this in our minds, as they are masters of blurring fashion with glamour in their photographs through the use of smiles on model’s faces.
