Photographer’s Note

Hello friends in TE.

Rice farmers around my place get paid twice a year. We can see the combine harvester reaping the grains and loaded it to the awaiting truck. The truck has to go through the weighing machine before unloading the rice and back to the machine when it is empty. The farmer will be laughing his way to the bank.
:-)

Thanks for viewing!

Hello Jusni,

This is almost the same system as here in Europe but with other grain.
Good perspective and depth in this rural picture.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Hello Jusni,

I have to admit the old ways were more charming, but i guess they don't care what I think hahaha!
And with rice fields like this it is possible, entirely another matter in steep rice terraces in mountainous areas...
An interesting documentary with fine details!

Greetings,

Hello Jusni,
This typical scene of mechanized agriculture is framed with skill and talent. The scene is at the same time peaceful and spectacular. Excellent technical realization. Cheer.
Have a nice day

Hi Jusni

Interesting note...but I wanna know how much they get paid? Are they able to make a good living?

Nice shades of yellow and green here. The cliff in the background adds interest.

TFS,
Tosca

Hi Jusni,
The struggle of life is portrayed perfectly in this thoughtful capture. "Reaping what you sow", that saying is most poignant here.
Excellent composition, all of the elements are balanced perfectly.
Great moment of daily life.
Lovely capture.
Regards
Peter

Hello Jusni,
It must be a happy moment for most of the rice farmers(including yourself?) especially when the harvest is bountiful. This kind of mechanized rice farming is rarely seen in Sarawak and therefore something different for us to see. They get paid twice a year but in two fat cheques. Nice red, orange and brown colours in a single compo portraying the harvest perfectly well.

Hi Jusni
I like the triangle of elements here, nice rural scene that possibly would look better framed vertically
Have a nice day JY

Salam Jusni,
excellent view of the padi plnting industry. I like the way you include the hills and lines of harvested lines of padi .
The guy squatting seems very nterested in the goingd and adding him also enhances the human value of the shot.

Foozi
