The Peak panorama, Hong Kong Island, 20020812

            Lockdown quarantine pandemic post processing.

Tonight, January 23rd 2021, is the first night of the national curfew. This is announced to get a better 'grip' on the virus. This implies we can't go out after 21:00 hours. A curfew sounds like a war-time measure. I think it is unprecedented to have this in peace-time. Crazy times.

So... I'm experimenting with this AI photo enhancing software for months now and it with each software update it continues to improve in photo quality and processing speed. I love to 'revisit' old picalillies to see what the software can do.

This was taken 19 years ago with my, at that time, second digital camera (my first digital camera was the Canon PowerShot 600). My second one was a Canon PowerShot A20 which had a 2 megapixel chip with 3x zoom bought a year earlier in Tokyo.

This is a 4 photograph pano taken from Hong Kong's The Peak  in 2002 (taken from the roof of the Peak Galleria mall) and I think the results are amazing with modern stitch- and AI enhancing software.

Stay healthy and stay safe friends!
