he village of Arborek is fast rising as a pioneer among the 18 beautiful villages in West Papua
that have embarked on developing local regulations for community-based
marine conservation, For this, the village of Arborek has gained an
outstanding reputation among both the local authority and international
community. With the assistance of the national and local government,
from research centers, and non-government organizations, the local
people have succeeded in formulating local regulations, naming their
conservation region the Mambarayup and Indip.
Finding underwater
beauty is not so difficult here. Along the Arborek pier, divers can
simply plunge into the water and instantly find a most intriguing
illumination of the glittering of a gorgonian fan just below the
surface. People in Arborek are hospitable and very industrious, creating
exceptional handicrafts from sea pandan leaves to make the most of
their time each day. Arborek is fascinating both underwater and in the
village.
Known as the Arborek Tourism Village, the community is
known for its handicraft in making hats and noken (string bags). Unlike
most women in other villages who also give a hand to their husbands as
fishermen, nearly all mothers in this village produce handicrafts for a
living. Although they are convinced that catching lobsters and work in
pearl agro-production are much more profitable, yet they feel that
handicraft is more distinguished and more graceful work for women. This
is a village worth visiting. Only one and half hours from Waisai, Raja
Ampat’s capital, the village of Arborek is awaiting visitors from around
the world.
The Republic of Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world
comprising 17,504 large and small tropical islands fringed with white
sandy beaches, many still uninhabited and a number even still unnamed.
Straddling the equator, situated between the continents of Asia and
Australia and between the Pacific and the Indian Oceans, it is as wide
as the United States from San Francisco to New York, equaling the
distance between London and Moscow. Indonesia has a total population of
more than 215 million people from more than 200 ethnic groups. The
national language is Bahasa Indonesia.
Among the most well known islands are Sumatra, Java, Bali, Kalimantan
(formerly Borneo), Sulawesi (formerly Celebes), the Maluku Islands (or
better known as Moluccas, the original Spice Islands) and Papua. Then,
there is Bali “the world’s best island resort” with its enchanting
culture, beaches, dynamic dances and music. But Indonesia still has many
unexplored islands with grand mountain views, green rainforests to trek
through, rolling waves to surf and deep blue pristine seas to dive in
where one can swim with dugongs, dolphins and large mantarays.
Because of her location, and geology, Indonesia is blessed with the most
diverse landscape, from fertile ricelands on Java and Bali to the
luxuriant rainforests of Sumatra, Kalimantan and Sulawesi, to the
savannah grasslands of the Nusatenggara islands to snow-capped peaks of
West Papua.

Because of her location, and geology,
Indonesia is blessed with the most diverse landscape, from fertile

islands to snow-capped peaks of West Papua.
Her wildlife ranges from the prehistoric
giant Komodo lizard to the Orang Utan and the Java rhino, to the
Sulawesi anoa dwarf buffalos, to birds with exquisite plumage like the
cockatoo and the bird of paradise. This is also the habitat of the
Rafflesia the world’s largest flower, wild orchids, an amazing variety
of spices, and aromatic hardwood and a large variety of fruit trees.
Underwater, scientists have found in North Sulawesi the prehistoric
coelacanth fish, a “living fossil” fish, predating the dinosaurs living
some 400 million years ago, while whales migrate yearly through these
waters from the South Pole. Here are hundreds of species of colourful
coral and tropical fish to admire.
Raja Ampat-Papua
Culturally, Indonesia fascinates with her rich diversity of ancient
temples, music, ranging from the traditional to modern pop, dances,
rituals and ways of life, changing from island to island, from region to
region. Yet everywhere the visitor feels welcomed with that warm,
gracious innate friendliness of the Indonesian people that is not easily
forgotten.
Facilities-wise Indonesia’s hotels are second to none. In fact, many of
our luxurious and unique hotels have constantly been listed as some of
the best in the world, located on white sandy beaches, overlooking green
river valleys, or situated in the heart of busy capital Jakarta. While
Indonesia’s cities like Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, or Makassar are a
hive of activities for business and leisure and a paradise for shoppers,
offering upscale boutiques selling top brand names, to local goods at
road-side stalls. Here gourmets can treat themselves to the many
regions’ delectable spicy cuisine or dine sumptuously at international
restaurants. And for sheer relaxation, Indonesia Spas are second to none
to reinvigorate both body and mind.
Baduy-Traditional Villages
Convention centers are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, as
many top international conferences and exhibitions are held in Jakarta,
Bali to Manado, ranging from the Global Climate Change Conference in
Bali to the World Ocean Conference in Manado , to trade and investment
exhibitions and tourism trade shows in many provincial capital cities.
Jakarta, Bali, Medan, Padang, Bandung, Solo, Yogyakarta, Surabaya,
Makassar are connected by direct international flights, and many regular
and low cost carriers fly passengers to Indonesia’s towns or remote
locations.

No More Dark Photos
Canon's HS SYSTEM improves shooting in low-light situations without the need for a flash, and lowers noise levels at higher ISO settings.
The ELPH 300 HS is less than an inch deep and weighs less than 5 ounces.
The Canon HS SYSTEM takes the frustration out of low-light shooting, delivering clear, blur-free shots with all the ambiance intact, and freeing you from the sometimes unwanted effects of using the flash. Beautiful low-light shots are possible at both low and high ISO speeds, and the dynamic range is expanded to retain maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas.
The system is the result of two technologies brought together in this compact PowerShot. The first is the 12.1 Megapixel CMOS Sensor, which positions the light-receiving surface for optimal light reception. More light means clearer, blur-free images with plenty of detail and nuance, even in dark areas. Working together with the CMOS sensor to deliver the HS SYSTEM is Canon's advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor, which actively reduces noise and delivers high speed image
The HS Megapixel Advantage
There's more to megapixels. Canon's HS System provides dramatically greater sensitivity than your average camera with identical or greater megapixel counts. That means you don't need excessive megapixels to achieve spectacular images with minimal noise, and you get equally impressive results out of the 12.1 megapixel ELPH 300 HS.
Memorable Moments in Full HD

Nikon has released the D7000 mid-level digital SLR. Housed in a magnesium alloy body, the feature-rich camera incorporates a 16.2Mp CMOS sensor, faster 'Expeed 2'-branded processor, 921k dot 3.0" LCD and can record 1080p full HD movies. It features the company's latest 39-point AF system with 3D tracking and 2,016 pixel RGB metering sensor. It will start shipping with the 18-105mm VR kit lens from October 2010 at a retail price of $1499.95. We've had a pre-production D7000 in the office for long enough for us to prepare an full hands-on preview looking at the camera, its features and where it'll sit in the range.
Meet the new Nikon D7000, a camera ready to go wherever your photography or cinematography takes you. Experience stunning images with sharp resolution and smooth tonal gradation, thanks to the 16-megapixel DX-format CMOS image sensor and a powerful EXPEED 2 image processing engine. Take advantage of its wide ISO range of 100 to 6400 (expandable to 25,600) and its incredibly low levels of noise. Expect your images tack-sharp and accurately exposed, thanks to the camera’s 39-point AF and Scene Recognition System using a 2,016-pixel RGB matrix metering sensor. And with an approx. 0.052-second release time lag and approx. 6 frames-per-second shooting, you won’t miss a moment.
You’ll see exactly what you’re capturing with the approx. 100% frame coverage viewfinder, and for those who want to shoot both stills and movies, the D7000’s D-Movie capabilities now include Full HD 1080p capture with full-time autofocus and manual exposure. All of this advanced imaging technology is kept safe beneath the magnesium alloy covering the top and rear chassis of a compact body, whose sealing has been severely tested against moisture and dust. The D7000 is ready to shoot indoors and out, and at 150,000 cycles tested, the camera’s durable shutter unit helps you keep shooting. Combine all this with the unmatched NIKKOR lens lineup and Creative Lighting System and you have everything you need to explore your imagination to its fullest. Where can creative freedom like this take you? Find out, with the D7000.
D7000 Highlights
Stunning image details: 16.2 effective megapixels
Whether you want to make large prints or crop tightly in an image, the D7000 delivers the resolution you need. At its heart is a DX-format CMOS image sensor with 16.2 effective megapixels, optimally engineered to gather more quality light through sharp NIKKOR lenses. Coupled with 14-bit A/D conversion (12-bit selectable), the D7000 produces stunning images that are richer in tone and detail than previously possible in DX format. The A/D conversion happens within the sensor, thereby maintaining exceptional image integrity without sacrificing shooting speed or energy efficiency. Combine these with the agile DX format and its signature 1.5x focal length telephoto potential and you can begin to see where this kind of shooting power can take you.
Improved image quality and speed: EXPEED 2 image processing engine
Sometimes you want to capture the subtle tones of a sunset. Other times you want to freeze the action. The D7000 delivers both, thanks to the newest generation of image processing engine, EXPEED 2, which performs multiple tasks with more speed and power. Expect smoother tonal gradations, even in difficult shadows and highlights, for a greater sense of depth in your images. Shoot continuously at 6 frames per second so you can capture the action you’ve been missing. Focusing performance such as face recognition in Live View mode is also further improved, letting you concentrate on your composition.
Standard ISO 100 to 6400, expandable to ISO 25600 equivalent
With improved pixel quality of the image sensor comes a wider ISO range from the DX-format — ISO 100 to 6400 has now become standard with the D7000, enabling you to handle a wider range of lighting situations: from the bright and sunny outdoors to low-lit evenings and interiors. Nikon’s renowned noise reduction technology has been upgraded even further. Throughout the range, the D7000 delivers sharp images with minimized color noise. And thanks to the higher processing speed, even when High ISO noise reduction is activated, you can keep shooting continuously without stress. Quality high-ISO performance can also enhance a lot for movie shooting, allowing you to capture the mood of a scene using only available light.
Capture Full HD 1080p D-Movie with full-time autofocus and manual exposure
The D7000 welcomes in a new era of movie capture: Full HD 1080p and movie editing functions for exceptional cinematic reproduction and quality. In addition to smooth-moving images, the camera can compensate for distortion and other image-degrading problems. Besides auto exposure mode, the D7000 offers manual exposure mode, which locks in the exposure value when shooting scenes with varying contrast levels, such as when panning from a bright window to a dark interior. Aside from a built-in monaural microphone, the D7000 incorporates an external microphone jack for high-quality stereo sound recording options.
Improved quality in highlight and shadow: Active D-Lighting
Nikon’s exclusive Active D-Lighting offers the ability to preserve details in the highlights and shadowy areas of images shot in high-contrast scenes.
Whether you’re dealing with bright skies and a dark foreground or deep shadows where you can’t use a flash, the EXPEED 2 image processing engine renders those scenes with smoother tones — even at its highest settings. Simply select Auto in Active D-Lighting mode and the camera can adjust to the scene’s contrast levels or bracket them into three frames of varying strength levels. Even when Active D-Lighting is activated, you can still maintain the continuous shooting rate. Now even more precise: The Scene Recognition System
The D7000 incorporates a built-in exposure-metering sensor with a far larger pixel count than any other D-SLR camera before it. The 2,016-pixel RGB sensor reads the scene’s brightness and colors more accurately, and then applies this reading to optimize not only exposure, but also autofocus, white balance and i-TTL flash calculations — all in mere milliseconds prior to the actual exposure. With more pixels, the D7000 can recognize even smaller subjects — both moving and stationary. The newly improved Scene Recognition System delivers better photographs in every way.
Wide-area coverage, powerful 39-point AF
The D7000’s strategically positioned 39 AF points cover a significantly wide area of the frame, giving you flexible compositional possibilities. The nine AF points in the center utilize powerful cross-type sensors — especially useful when you need tack-sharp focus such as with portraits and macro work. And unlike other manufacturers’ systems, the D7000’s nine cross-type sensors work with all AF NIKKOR lenses f/5.6 or faster. The D7000 offers a variety of AF area modes, including dynamic-area AF using 9, 21, 39 points. Switch between the three, depending on the predictability of your subjects’ movement, and the selected AF point and surrounding points will track your intended subject automatically.
There is also 3D tracking, which continuously follows moving subjects within the 39 AF points, indicating the activated AF point in the viewfinder. Utilizing Nikon’s Scene Recognition System, Auto-area AF properly judges the main subject within 39 AF points and focuses on it. Therefore, no matter what the situation or composition calls for, the D7000’s autofocus system will be ready to meet your focus needs.
39-point AF & 2,016-pixel RGB sensor
Stay focused on what matters most.
Sophisticated AE with highlight analysis
After the incredibly accurate 2016-pixel RGB sensor reads a scene’s lighting information such as brightness and colors, the D7000 cross-references what it sees with imaging data from 30,000 real-world shooting situations. This way, the renowned 3D Color Matrix Metering II delivers exposure results that are faithful to how you see light and shadow interplay, even in difficult lighting situations. This intelligent metering technique also delivers exceptionally accurate i-TTL flash exposures, and it all happens within milliseconds for both speed and precision.
Informed auto white balance (AWB)
Based on its massive collection of shooting data compiled from various light sources, the D7000’s intelligent AWB algorithm renders white as truly white — even when shot under a wide range of light sources, including the difficult mercury vapor lighting. The D7000 also carries another AWB mode that maintains incandescent warmth in your images.
Contrast AF for live view and D-Movie
Live View and D-Movie users can rejoice, because with the D7000, face-priority AF is now faster and more powerful than ever. Up to 35 people can be. For moving subjects such as pets, subject-tracking AF keeps them in focus. Normal-area AF is recommended for pinpoint focus and wide-area AF for handheld shooting. All are effective both for Live View shooting and movie recording.
6 Frames Per Second Shooting up to 100 Images

Nady MPF-6 Microphone Pop Filter with Stand Clamp The Nady MPF-6 Pop Filter is a great value, since it works very well and is a lot less expensive than some of the other manufacturer's alternatives. We have been producing professional instructional videos for several years (some are available on Amazon)for my wife's business, but we recently decided to offer our services to local businesses as well. That required us to put a little more effort into making our studio area more professional looking for clients, which meant replacing the double thickness of stocking stretched over a wire coat-hanger form we had been using as a Pop Filter.
It works very well for attenuating the sharper "P", "T", and "S" sounds that cause spikes when doing voice-overs. This is a well made unit that connects firmly to the microphone stand with a screw clamp (see my picture in "Customer Images" of this unit connected to our Blue Microphones Snowball USB Microphone (White)) and has an flexible neck so it can easily be positioned as needed.
I am very please with this Pop Filter as it works as expected, looks good, and didn't cost very much!
Highly Recommended!
