Just look at the stunning view of the lake! Breathtaking!
It was around 6am when I took this shot in the morning. The sun rises real quick and real early (at around 520am). This panoramic shot is taken right outside my hotel’s room.
PS: This is also for those who were still sleeping soundly in their bed.

And technically…. In post processing, no other kind of post-processing technique applied other than using the landscape picture style in Canon DPP. They are later stitched together using PTGui.
Both panoramas are taken hand-held using Canon 5D MKII, and a Canon EF 17-40 f/4L and in stitching later on, each of the panorama produces a total resolution of about 60 megapixels. They are then downsized to 4000px at the widest side to accommodate for web viewing.

Nothing much have changed after 4 years except that there’s a new recreational/resting hut in the middle of the field, which is actually good for us to chill while enjoying the great scenery.
There’s actually a few more tea plantation fields around Cameron Highlands. I’ll try to get to them on my next trip up there! Happy Holidays on this long weekend peeps!

Technical Note: Canon EFS 10-22 fitted on Canon 400D fitted on a cheap tripod. It’s very hard to get the horizon level right as I tilted the camera gear to capture in portrait mode. In trying to remove human traffic as much as possible from the shots, here we are.
My Canon 400D tend to go underexpose nowadays and struggle in low light. Taking shots at ISO 800 means stepping into noisy grainy territory. I had to bump up 2/3 steps in exposure bias in processing the shots.
They are then stitched with PTGui and converted to flash format using Pano2VR player.
