Last week’s trip to Penang was a little dampened by the incessant rain. Had little opportunity for much shooting and on one occasion, bored to heck and restless, I took the lift down to the poolside and toyed with some panoramic shots. The first is of the Penang Times Square swimming pool. I used the Photomerge function of CS3 to stitch together the 7 frames. Then I added a graduated filter for that touch of sky contrast. Click to enlarge.

I then wandered off to the west side of the pool and took another 5 frames and treated the result with an antiquated look below.

Like I said both these shots were just for fun, and not the most ideal subjects. They’re incidentally my first ever panos and I’ve much to learn. Given a stunning vista, you should give panos a try.
