I woke up relatively late last Saturday (29/11/2008). It was 6:30 in the morning and I already saw the reflection of the morning sun gleaming on my car. My original plan to shoot sunrise @ Horizon Hill was effectively over that day (little that I know that it was a blessing in disguise). I still have to go there I whisper to my self – to recce the place so probably I can take picture at sunset.
So, I went to some other place, shooting the sunrise. Then I went to UTM shooting MSI bathed by the morning Sun. At about 7:30 I sped up to Horizon Hill.

I was disappointed. There was layers of security checkpoint leading to Horizon Hill. I stopped at the first security post and asked the guard in-duty about entering the place. I have to acquire a security pass to enter the place.
I phoned my friend who informed me about the place and she said that visitors pass was not needed the last time she visited the place.
It was still early (about 8:30) and visitors (who want to see demo houses) can only enter the place @ 10am onwards. I whisper to myself – can I take photos in there? The developers might be irritated by DSLR-clad person snapping pictures in the area they develop.
Should I wait until 10am and enter or I better go somewhere else. Ultimately I went somewhere else – having my breakfast at ZZ. Because of Horizon Hill little problem I lost interest to shoot @ Program Jom Gegar Belia Johor 2008. I just went back home, do some chores and pay back my “sleep kredit”.
I will come again one day, InsyaAllah – when the area have properly developed. I might not be the first person to shoot there, but I don’t want to get into trouble with the developer (and the issue of safety in the area) either.
The conclusion: Fail shooting trip … huhuhu. But, Alhamdulillah I still obtain some pictures elsewhere.
