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.

Water Drops

I’ve been testing the strobist water drop technique with some interesting results. I’m loving the fact I’ve currently got the time to play with these. These were also taken with my new Canon 50D, which i am absolutely loving!

Yang Shuo Hot Air balooning

Chris — Fri, 22 May 2009 05:43:23 +0000

At 6 am over the limestone karsts (rock formations) in Yang Shuo the sunlight broke through and this amazing sky appeared. I’m in a balloon about half a mile from this one, clinging on for dear life to my camera!

Bank of China Tower

Chris — Thu, 21 May 2009 03:17:45 +0000

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.

IFC at Night

Chris — Tue, 19 May 2009 03:56:37 +0000

I happened across this shot as I was walking past the IFC one evening. A cloud free moment at the top is very rare, so I was happy the moon appeared as well.

Beijing Gallery

Chris — Fri, 15 May 2009 06:36:51 +0000

I’ve just uploaded a gallery of photos from Beijing, covering the Forbidden City, Olympic Park, Summer Palace and Great Wall. There is some amazing stuff to see there and I took masses of photos, of which these are some of the best 30 or so. More

Alternate Shots

Chris — Wed, 06 May 2009 05:36:46 +0000

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

Chris — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 04:24:49 +0000

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.
