Tada~~~ I went to Kerachut again for the second time this year. This time, I went with my colleagues from Motolala.

SJLee, Adrian, Ricky, Hugo and ChoonYi and…

Joyce from Motolala also. Nice to meet you for the first time.

I couldn’t catch my breath and got muscle cramp on the way back and It was worse than last time. I think I need to exercise more given my limited little stamina in my body. On the way back Joyce and ChoonYi were the two that are leading the pack and pulled away at steady rate. By the time I reached I can see them practicing dancing. Just imagine how slow I was. Ahahha.. man… I’m weak

Had a great time hiking and sweating. That’s the spirit! Let’s do it again some time in the future!

Ahem, Here’s some good shots taken during the trip. The rest of the photos can be found in the album page link below. Comments are welcomedddddd

Penang Pearl of Orient Panorama City Skyline

Ahem… may I get your attention please…

This is my latest panoramic masterpiece of my beloved Hugo Penang Island. It is taken using Canon 10-22mm at 10mm 1/250s F/10 handheld.

And here’s the location where I composed this shot.

Yes, if you see it correctly, I took it from Prangin Mall’s carpark.

ahahaha.. yes yes… make no mistake.. I took this from carpark. In fact this is my second time doing so.

Here’s the first panorama taken at the very same spot few years back in 2004 using Nikon 5700 prosumer camera.

The wide angle shot above is made possible after stitching using software. It was taken using Sigma 18-200 at 18mm with 4 exposures taken vertically.

That was my only visit to Starhill gallery so far and I actually went for Jogoya that time. I tried to take some photos on the restaurant’s environment but was stopped by the staff there. Therefore, these are all I got for Jogoya. Read the rest of this entry »

Suntech Pennag, the new landmark in Bayan Baru, Bayan Lepas area for being the tallest building of the surrounding area. Read more about the huu harr at its official website!

This is probably the best place you can find in Penang with lots of green, far away from the hustle bustle of the big city like Georgetown. Gosh, Balik Pulau just got its first traffic light about 2 years ago. See how traffic-free it is .

Geographically, it is located on the south west part of the Penang island. Most of the people here often commute to work at other places like in the industrial area in Bayan Lepas, at the south east part of the island.

These shots are taken at the top of the hill along Jalan Tun Sardon. This is the major link connecting Balik Pulau to the rest of the island.

Map shown below shows the spot where I took all the shots! Enjoy!

Redang Kalong Resort

Please, let me impress you, click on the photo above.

Title: Redang Kalong Resort Panorama

Dimension: 6175 x 899 pixels

Size: 1.06MB

Description: It’s taken late in the morning when I was about to leave the Island. It is taken with a series of 8 consecutive pictures with around 40% over overlapping between each frame. This shot did not go too well as I was taking on a floating platform as you can see at the center of the picture. That’s the “jetty” of the resort.

I have actually taken a 360 degrees shot that time but two frames failed to join properly to the rest of the set so I settled for this result for the time being. Enjoy!

Oh ya, be patient, the full resolution size here is over 1MB, it may takes a little while to load it.

The map below shows where I was when composing this photo.

I took this photo below with Sigma 18-200 with 15 seconds shutter and at around f/11 with 4 degrees apart for each photo. Combined with PTGui later on. If you can check from the map below. The camera is looking down south.

Panorama of Kuala Lumpur. Overlooking gombak, setapak, wangsa maju

For this, I decided to use Canon 10-22mm set around 15mm with 30 seconds shutter at Tv Mode. With such long shutter, I expected the camera will use small aperture thus I did not need to be worry about the depth of field achieved. From the map, it is actually looking at North-West

Panorama of Kuala Lumpur. Overlooking Setapak, Wangsa Maju and surrounding area

The map below shows where I took the panorama from. It’s taken from a high-rise residential building along Jalan Genting Klang near Tasik Danau.

What you need to take these panorama?

A tripod is needed, vital! Camera with lens is needed too, obviously. Technically, overlap at least 60% is good to ensure you won’t lose linkage between each set later to produce a good panorama. And…. a stool!

I was shooting from the emergency staircase and the wall is quite high. I needed a stool to stand on it in order to get enough height to control the camera. Life is more fun and better with this little but important tool. Thanks Wendy for that!
