"Take a deep breath".

Calm down and take your time. Don't let it pass you by. You've spotted your target, aim for it. Capture it before your moment is gone. When you've caught it, you smile because you feel proud of yourself.

...Yes. They might be talking about fishing. But me, I'm talking about taking photos.

One would say that I was too free. That's why I had the time to do a some experimental photography. People might wonder why I sat under the sun so long by myself. Wonder away, because questions like that would not come to mind when you're lost in the moment doing your own thing.

So we woke up at 7 some' to catch the sunrise or rather what was left. Too bad on both days, because the sky was a cloudy one. Once you're awake and the food's served, you can't very well go back to bed. Armed with a camera and a full stomach, I went on my journey to discover the place.

I came not knowing exactly where we were staying. I arrived to find out that we were in fact staying in the NS camp itself. So it was a surprise to find so much of greenery around.

I thought that I have absolutely no passion for nature photography, but I guess the real question is actually how you use nature in your photography. This is my version of experimental /abstract photography with nature.

One would wonder, "Why is there a ladder in the middle of nowhere?" I have no idea, but I was more intrigued with capturing it into frame. So mysterious ain't it?

Speaking of mysterious.. I had the opportunity to follow one of the fisherman. I call him, mysterious man. Why? Truthfully it's because I didn't get a clear shot. Haha.

And that's my "fishing" trip.

The end.

Just teasing, of course that's not it. Aren't you happy that I have more in store?

Noticed how I've been using a lot of lalang in my pictures lately? Well now you know I have a thing for it. Lol. I've had 2 people who happily walked into the tall grasses for me.

I was hoping for a jetty, but I stumbled upon a dock instead. Suits me just fine because I take what I can get. I really enjoyed myself up there. I got the fresh air I was looking for, and there were so many funny stories that happened there.. esp with my mum, or like how it sounded like the ending of a marathon race when one of us caught the fish. Enjoy the rest of my people-pictures!
