Fashion Mall Panorama

Fashion Mall Pano, originally uploaded by photosorcery.

Very easily done, 3 images handheld (with a basic understanding of the nodal point) at 12mm DX format. Its fun implementing this technique on uninteresting compositions and see what you'll get.

We got to see how they turned the center space into a runway in a matter of minutes. Models pop-up from the ground floor and into the runway. See more of the images during our trip. http://www.flickr.com/photos/photosorcery/sets/72157608118498460/

To Whom the Bells Toll, originally uploaded by photosorcery.

Pano shot of the old Downtown Cathedral in Bacolod. This is in front of the plaza. People engage in sleazy business transactions near the plaza during wee hours, ironically located in front of this magnificent Cathedral.


Second picture was a fluke shot. I wanted to take a picture of this gorgeous church bell. After I saw someone sleeping, I got really excited and anxious to take multiple exposure shots.



Autopano software was used to generate this panorama.

Cadiz Old Port

I decided to take a few shots while crossing over this bridge in Cadiz City. They recently constructed a huge port on the other side of this channel.

Its weird going back home after almost 10 years. Im dazed and confused the first half of my trip... observing mostly with little participation.

Cornell Swimming Pool

Nostalgia once more! Pano shot from the top floor of Cornell Swimming Pool. 10 minute drive from our Cadiz vacation house. This is my happy place. Almost drowned several times when i was a kid, but its all good.

There used to be a diving board and used to be a lot deeper over 10 feet deep. Now they constantly shallowed the whole pool to about 5 feet.

Thats my cousin Basti in the middle of the pool.

Hand held pano shot and stitched using CS2. I really can't spend more than 10 minutes on each photo so pardon me for imperfections.

Chicken House Inasal

Bacolod's Finest barbecue chicken (Inasal) can only be experienced at "Chicken House". Is it just me or the rice itself tastes 10 times better? I kid you not!

One thing I truly miss about Bacolod is the local flavor, and your experience would not be the same without dining at "Chicken House".

Tell them that Leo sent you and get a discount! JK.

Talisay Ayala Plantazionne Club House

Quiet neighborhood and 10 minutes away from the hustle & bustle of Bacolod's laid back lifestyle. Truly impressive to see such developments in Bacolod.

Like they always say around here, "Everywhere in Bacolod is 5 minutes away". This is a bit far don't you think? Seriously?

"Remember this face!" ... he personally called me to get his picture taken when i got out of the car with my camera.

What defines happiness? Im guessing, probably not money! Im just happy to take his picture.
