Sekinchan Revisit

May 25, 2013, I woke up at dawn, a Saturday morning in a quiet moment, still feeling sleepy and in half dreaming stage, I dragged my feet from my loving bed, washed up, leaving house, joined my photo-buddies to re-visit the Sekinchan.

Sekinchan, a small town in Selangor, it was popularized because there have many paddy fields and nearby has a fishing village. Every weekend, many photo enthusiasts came all the way from Kuala Lumpur for photo shooting. Some came and enjoy the fresh air, viewing the magnificent greenery paddy plantation and experiencing life in a small town.

This is an awesome place for a weekend relaxation and photo shooting. Oh yah, not forgetting to mention, many came for the craving of food because here you can find some delicious Sekinchan Seafood.

This time, I felt lack of energy and excitement, maybe, I have visited place already, or could be the hot sun, feeling lack of inspiration, nevertheless, I managed to capture a few nice photos.

Hahaha, 

Yah ! Yah! blame the hot sun !!! Is too hot to stay under the sun to do shooting ....

Yah ! Yah! blame not having a filter lens that cut down the lighting to my photo ....

Kakakakaka!! I called this "Blaming Mentality"

The Paddy Fields

The above photos were using Nikon FM + Film Lomo Xpro 100, this roll of film gave a lomography feel with high grainy background. Initially I don't like the grainy, is just too much!! I am so use to the clear images of digital camera. Many people emphasizes on clarity, sharpness and low noise photography. Some commented photo with grainy is no nice due to the noise.

However, after seeing it for while. Ah yah, not so bad mah!! (爱面!!) ... I kind of living the feel of grainy in the photo, very unusual. I tuned the colour toward a bit of dynamic, increasing the contrast and walah!! I think the results were just great.

The Fishing Village

The fishing village at Sekinchan is a must to visit place. After having a heavy seafood lunch, some where near seafood eateries, you can walk into the fishing village at the side alley. Many boatmen parked their boats there. If your timing is right, you can find them busy sorting out their daily catches, some just lay there to relax, some busy in repairing their broken nets. People are friendly, they don't mind you taking their photos. But, we must show some courtesy to them, give them a smile and they will smile back to you ... simple, right?

Although I don't feel "high" about the trip, but I do appreciate the company of my photo-buddies. After days of stressful works, is good to have some friends to chi-chat and enjoy each other company.

Group Photo is my favorite part. We enjoy the moment and we like to show off different poses to self-entertain ourselves. We enjoy looking back those photos. Hahahahah !!

I called Syok Sendiri!!

The Beach

There is a beach near the fishing village at Sekinchan, this beach is not suitable for swimming, the sea water goes very far end during low tide. The sea water is uncleared due to the contamination by large population living at the surrounding area. The beach was dirty because uncivil-minded people simply throw rubbish here and there. It is hard sickening to see garbage everywhere. When can Malaysian acquired the cleanliness attitude.

This place is becoming tourist spot and you can find many hawkers selling food stuffs such as juices, ice cream, food and many more.

You can find two wooden tree houses at the beach. Netting was bundle up surrounding the tree branches, you may lay down on the netting for relaxation. the breeze will make you feel super relax and sleepy.

Zzzzzz ... Don't feel like moving ....

Photo taken by Jamie

It was fun to see some teenagers doing a jump shot. The guy was using an iphone to capture the shot, they have tried many attempts but failed to get the right shot. ... It is very hard to get a good shot using hand phone because phone camera shutter speed is too slow to freeze the jumping moment ... hahaha, with a proper camera that I have ...

Click!

I got their jump shot with just one attempt!! 

After a "Hard Day Work" at Sekinchan!!

We returned home before the sunset with great satisfaction ....
