Hard Rock Hotel Penang

Finally, the photos of Hard Rock Hotel, soft launch on Saturday 19 Sept in Penang. I didnt go there to view the opening but had an appointment with Andrea’s hairstylist, who had her salon opening at the lower ground floor of the hotel.

The first look of the hotel -  simple and minimalist, so if i took the shot directly, it will look very very boring to you. So i decided to take a few shots (brackets the shots) and do a HDR out of it. Result is a stunning piece of work! (looks like a digital painting ??!!:))

Photo taken using D5000 18-55mm

The view of Hard Rock Hotel from the beach / back. This panorama was a combination of 8 photos and later put together using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.

The intriguing light-work at the front entrance, the light-work changes it colour every few minuets.

Reflection of Andrea with the Art work of the Beatles.

Another panorama photo – combined in Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 using 3 photos

One of the Function Hall use for Wedding ceremony / dinner

a customer-made Hard Rock wedding cake….

each of the chairs are decorated with a guitar pinned to the back, rather than a traditional ribbon.

One of the staff told me the maximun table allowed is 30 and the price starts at RM888 per table…

“welcome back my friend, the show that never ends” a message display at the entrance of Hard Rock Hotel. Hard Rock Cafe in Orlando USA has a similar message at the Hard Rock Cafe main entrance. If you wonder what E.L.P. means, its a name of a English progressive rock supergroup – Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Photos of Hard Rock Cafe to come tomorrow, stay tuned…
