It is hard to make a living. Sailing through the strong wave early in the morning is just for the family while some others are still in the wonderland. The income or output is unpredictable while the family members are waiting for the return of the father. This is how the economy cycle responded for the country to move forward.
These are the differences between the rich and the poor. While those who are in the middle don’t even really care. If you read this, try to put their hat on your head. You will feel that you are lucky enough.
For the past 6 months, i have been shooting time lapse due to inspiration from Terje, a professional landscape photographer. I went to few places in Penang Island, Malaysia (my hometown) to shoot some landscape photographs which eventually combined together. As an amateur photographer who without sponsorship and with low budget DSLR and lens, It been a very hard challenge for me to produce a good quality photo. Hence, I enhanced the color (NOT HDR), adjust the white balance and reduce the noises of my photos with some editing software. Besides, I have to loan an extra camera which have a better processing and image quality from my brother. Working as a manufacturing engineer, it is a very tough challenge for me to do my shooting because I need to stand by 24/7. But with the determination and my obsession, I spent most of my precious leisure time shooting this time lapse. Special thanks to my wife, brother and colleagues who support and teach me the technique of various types of landscape, time lapse and astrophotography.
A total of 16409 photos(69 clips) have been compressed for this time lapse.
Pulau Betong is located in Balik Pulau. It is a 40 minutes drive from Georgetown Penang. Pulau Betong is a small island which can be explored using boat. There is no physical road that connecting the small island from Penang Island. On the way to balik pulau, we can clearly see the small island... During sunset, the view is very amazing. Below are the photos which taken from the beach of Pulau Betong.
A classic is classic not because it conforms to certain structural rules, or fits certain definitions (of which its author had quite probably never heard). It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness.
Edith Wharton (1862-1937)
