I start journey at about 5:00am in the morning was looking forward to the morning sunlight. Surprisingly it took only 1 1/2 hour from Kuala Lumpur to the destination with the new highway.
I arrived before the sun goes up, the first location we (was with one of my friend) scouted was the Nan Tian Gong temple, located in Site A of Sekinchan paddy field.
My car was parked next to these flag poles and I make a picture.

It was December, the harvest season. The locals told us that the whole harvest process will probably takes another 10 days. I drove around the paddy field and all we can see is cropped field and hardly find any ripe paddy to shoot...
Soon, the sky goes brighter and brighter we discovered a few sweet spots.

A Mitsubishi Pajero came and I took multiple shots in high burst mode. I like the way shadow casted.. I call it "Working Hour". The locals probably start work at that hour.
And of course the Paddy, ready to be harvested.
The sun was getting stronger, as I turn around I saw a stream reflecting the sunlight.
Perfect! Still water and beautiful cloud. Knowing that I will not be able to take a good shot in a backlit conditions, I decided to take 7 exposures and merge it later in photoshop.
Morning Sun...
We continue shooting, and scout for other location. Sekinchan also famous with its fishing village. We took a drive to the beach and I discover this lovely anchor nicely placed on platform...
Overall it was a rewarding day with lots of nice pictures taken and beautiful scenery... I will be back the next season...
