Sunrise, Penang

Other than chasing for morning flight, I would almost definitely wake up after 7:30 in the morning during these days. It was really a fruitful day for waking up at 6 in the morning that day.

This is the panoramic view of Butterworth, Penang as seen from Jelutong Promenade. Jelutong Promenade is one of the newest spot for Penang folks to go for a evening stroll along the seaside. You may read more about this at penang-traveltips.com

Cropped out, this is the Penang Port

Technically, it was about 9 o’clock at the time of shooting. With camera set up on tripod and leveled properly, I grabbed the lens with longest focal length I can get in my bag. Too bad it’s just 70mm. I should have brought the one with 200mm if I knew that I’m going for this shooting.

Tried a few shots to determine the settings suitable for panoramic, I finally settled f/14. With f/14, I would not need to worry of not getting enough depth of field (DOF) or failing to get sparkling light effect. (Look at the photo and you will know what I mean here)

This is the landscape of the spectacular Halong Bay taken from one of the cave opening in the Hang Sung Sot Grotto cave. If there’s only one place to go during your visit to Vietnam, Halong Bay would be the one.
