The boat used here were not the traditional 'flat-bottomed' boats. It has been replaced by modern fibreglass boats with outboard motors.

Getting to the open areas.
The mengkuang plants are abundant and it is used to make mats. The Semelai make beautiful mats with patterns depicting a story.
Little birdies on top of almost every trunk...
Some parts of the lake mirrors the horizon and sky.
Playing around with light and reflection.
The sun as seen on the water surface.
This is another part of the lake. The village here is Kg. Pathir and it has a beautiful view overlooking the lake. Yes, that's the lake there and it is covered with reeds.
This is what it looks like from the water's edge.
A little further down the path, a jetty facilitate easier access out to the lake. The water is deeper here.
Again, more modern boats.

What a great place to see and know about. The water is like glass and the sky open. I love the photos. Thank you. :)
wow... super cool photos! I like the effects in photo number 2... how did you do that?
Thank you for your kind comments :)
We had a very short time there but weather was good (hot!) in the morning for photography hence the better pictures.
Madwag, the effect for the 2nd picture was achieved with a slow shutter speed. The focus point was the boatman and hold the camera as steady as possible. Let the boat motion do the rest of the work ;-)
ooooooooooooohhhhh... I see now! Not sure I can achive that sort of effect w/ my camera... must see.
Madwag, there are a few ways to achieve slow shutter. The easiest are cameras that allow for some manual control. Some compact cameras do provide some creative shooting so if yours is the type with lots of buttons, then chances are you would be able to control a slow-shutter scene.
