CHINA – GuiLin Terraced Fields [桂林 , 龙脊梯田]

the 1st stop for my 1 week trip at CHINA 21-28 May 2011…. what I remember ~1hour travel from GuiLing international airport to the main Entrance of the Longji Terraces (龙脊梯田) tourist centre … follow by another ~40 minutes toruist bus to the start point of the Terraces… then ~2 hours easy walk (stair cases) to the highest point of visit point 4 ( 金坑梯田)

the first view near our accomondation ….

... 龙脊梯田 | Terraced Fields ...

 

the view simply amazing but too bad the weather raining non stop and base on the weather forecast the rain will last for another 1-2 day .. ..

but hope for the best, I still woke up ~430am the next morning to have a morning walk …. and I am happy that I found a view that can show how the water been flow through the field …..

... the Beginning | 由此开始 ...

 

farmer will start using manual way to make hole allow water from top flow down to the next field and this repeat for every layers …….

* think you can see it in the picture above

it is too much fun to look for better angle in Landscape Photography … it just make me keep moving .. so if you like Landscape let move and let’s try some new place and angle ………..

a simple shot that may not come out easy…. just share one of my tough shot recently done at Kemasik Beach, Kemaman, Terengganu…

I was standing near the big rock waiting for the big splash …. my len filters keep splash by wave, need non stop drying , and myself wet too after few splashes that I feel not stong enough  and finally I got the splash what I looking for … then I got wet and have to run away from it …. have ~30-50 shutter press for this

running from wave

 

and this is a simple and happy shot with a lot of effort (for me ….)

... the Splash ...

Pantai Sri Tujuh, Tumpat, Kelantan

one of the stop of my previous visit to East Coast for details click here

never been a place so beautiful before, saw a clear Milky way while I reach … and it is like total mirror when the light is out … nothing I want to capture except try to show the beautiful and perfect reflection (someone is walking in the river …so actually not so calm while I shoot this)

even I only spent ~2hours there… I would rate this one of the best Landscape Photography spot for Malaysia .. the calm sea water with perfect reflection with angle toward ~135 degree south toward North west …. can do perfect fisherman life shooting, sunrise, salt water reflection …. I am sure I will be there again very soon ……….

milky through nake eye

... another milky way ...

– was using black card method/finger to shoot this where share it here

and the beautiful of the reflection

... the mirror ...

and will share more Kelantan pictures here
