every year Nov -Jan , Peninsular Malaysia will have Monsoon season or we call raining season … some places of east coast of Malaysia always face flood issue after days raining … and most of the fisherman stop go out to sea due to the bad weather ….
Most of the photographer will get rest this period as normally the sky look cloudy … wave is too strong …. but I have the plan to shoot the wave, slow shutter … and if luck on my side then I can get strong wave hit the rock .. so I went there 2 times 2010 for my wish …. even though we not seeing any sun at all for ~6 days trip but I still enjoy the strong wave … and beautiful places found (thanks Yusri, Azizi & CK Zinal for bringing us there…)
a quick capture how strong is the wave
even we missed out the beautiful egg yolk
but we still trying our best to get some slow shutter shots
cloudy day is good too
