Hong Kong at Night

I thought at the start of this new year it would be good to post a great memory of 2009, so here’s another view of Hong Kong at night.

Hong Kong Waterfront

A shot of the Hong Kong lightshow which goes on nightly at 2000 local time. The typical overcast conditions make the glow really interesting I think.

Bank of China Tower

A twilight shot of the Bank of China tower in Hong Kong, probably one of the more distinct buildings. Here it’s just warming up for the lightshow which happens every night.

Alternate Shots

I read in Scott Kelby’s Digital Photography Book Vol 2 about how shooting well known buildings can make it hard to get original shots. So here’s me trying something different, which probably would work better with more reflective glasses. If you don’t know IFC2 in Hong Kong, read more

Panorama Work

I’ve become very interested in panoramas, having recently been to a number of locations with my 17mm only captures about 1/5 of the action. This image is probably my best result to date, from the Hong Kong sevens, 6 portrait images stictched together by the wonders of photoshop.

I’ve got a gallery now for these, so hopefully I can generate so images that really capture the environment.

Shooting Hong Kong

So, I’ve been in Hong Kong for nearly 3 weeks now and shot some 300 odd photos, but am yet to be overwhelmed by my results. The light is generally pretty flat because of cloud / smog issues so I’m having issues getting the photos as I want.

Anyway a brief outing today got me a couple to start my Hong Kong Flickr set with. Hopefully my creative juices can now start to flow.

More fun is that next week I’m going to buy a 50mm f1.8 lens and a flash, so maybe the light issues may become less important.
