紫气东来 Celestial Light

我国东海岸有着很长的海岸线，面临南中国海，是摄影爱好者喜欢拍摄的地点。我特别喜欢这里的渔村和海岸景色。

每次到这里，都有相见恨晚的感觉，因为许多难得的拍摄题材，早已消失在历史和发展洪流里，只能从摄影前辈们的作品去寻觅。

昔日的渔村房子多以木板建造，今天已改用土砖和洋灰， 村民把整间屋子扛起来，搬迁到另个地点的情景已成为历史。渔船也已现代化，多采用玻璃纤维制造，作业方式也变了。在关丹海村，以前渔船归航时，是用牛只把船拉上岸，自改用玻璃纤维渔船后，渔船较轻，不需牛大哥帮忙，只好下岗去了。

道北Sri Tujuh是拍摄日出的最佳地点，但是否能看到太阳公公和好天气，就要看运气了。我来过这里数趟，数上星期的日出最美，确实不虚此行。

摄影人最讲究耐性。不记得是那位摄影师曾说过：『运气是给有耐心的人』。愿与大家共勉。

Have you ever seen a house being literally carried and shifted by villagers? Or buffaloes were used to pull fishing boat ashore?

In fact, these scenes were quite common in the east coast of Malaysia not too long ago, but now we can only find them in old photographs. Economic development has bought a lot of changes to these areas. The wooden houses were replaced with concrete structures and the fishing boats were made with fiberglass that is lighter. Undoubtedly, it has lost its charms in the eyes of many photographers.

But the east coast is still my favorite, the scenic seaside and the fishing villages still fascinates me. I was in Pantai Sri Tujuh, Tumpat Kelantan and Pantai Pandak in Terengganu last week, the weather was good, and when the sun rises, the sea was bathed in celestial amber sunlight. The scenery was surreal and so beautiful that I thought I could only find them in my dreams.
