Atmosphere of Sunda Kelapa Harbor Like   case harbor    --  harbor others, Port this  also show typical port activities such as ships moving here and there
parting the sea, the ship leaning on the pier, then there is a group of workers who carry out loading and unloading activities, then the number of containers passing by describe the bustle of the port as it should be. But what's interesting My attention is the children who are on the edge of the pier playing freely like it's already together with the port starting from swim to jump from the ship into the water.Â
Because seeing the beautiful scenery Rarely do I just take my camera out of my bag to capture a moment that I rarely encounter in the city of Jakarta and the children are aware about the camera I was carrying, then they swam up to me and asked to photographed,Â
I'm happy to take a picture because that's what I came here for is for capture photos about activities in the harbor, originally         only look 2 -- 3 children, but not for long then the other kids Follow and take pictures.Â
The children offer themselves to jump from the ship and asked me to take a photo they, with pleasure I do it, then I freely take pictures of them in continuous mode and also with a high shutter speed in order to freeze objects up to them looks like they are oating in the air,Â
then I also direct them to pose with other styles so it doesn't look monotonous. But sometimes I also take pictures them candidly so that their expressions are more natural
After I was satisfied with taking pictures of them, I packed my camera for the kids came up to me and asked me for money to buy ice, as a form thanks I, I direct reach into money I bag trousers I and give them money, they look happy and say thanked me then they continued their playing activities, then I spent my afternoon on the edge of the pier while sipping the coffee I had buy,
and I think that no bad for use up time in suburbs of Jakarta while chatting with the surrounding community. And to friends, don't forget to come to this tourist spot, namely Sunda Harbor Kelapa because this place is historic and suitable for those of you who like photography, for The entry ticket is only priced at 3 thousand Rupiah for motorbikes and 5 thousand Rupiah for motorbikes car.
I recommend visiting Sunda Kelapa Harbor on weekends and at early in the morning or in the evening because port activities are busy and Surely in that situation it will offer interesting things for you photography lovers, especially street photography. The Sunda Kelapa port is still operating today and is still a wrong one harbor busiest, here you will served view stunning views of harbor life from the boat - ships lined up to very active harbor children.
