Hong Kong at Night

[rhubarb]

Recently went on a business trip to Hong Kong, I'd hoped to do a lot more photography than I actually did, limited to Saturday and Sunday evening. Really enjoyed my time there, the colours and people are so vibrant, and everything is very friendly and the food was out of this world. If you haven't been and you get chance I'd definitely recommend it.

Here's some night shots (tried some street photography as well, which I may well post later)

1: Looking down towards Mong Kok at dusk



2: Soy Street



3: Victoria Harbour



4: IFC2



5: IFC2 & Jardine House (Connect 4)



6: HSBC, Bank of China



7: A bus passing by the Bank of China



8: Traffic outside the Lippo building



9: Hong Kong Convention Centre



10: Symphony of Lights



11: Some lanterns



12: Victoria Harbour panorama from the Avenue of Stars



13: A cloudy Hong Kong from the Peak

Awesome photos, just terrific

They are all superb but 8, 10, 11, and 13 (is that a still from Bladerunner ? ) really stand out for me




Cheers.

Very nice, HK is a fantastic city to photograph IMO, specially with a wideangle lens!

What kit where you using?

[cannedheat]

love the last one. The rest are all good too...

Great photos....... I'll be there in 2 days time! (Currently in Hangzhou, China)

Wow, they are stunning!

[CosmicMatt]

They are the most stunning set of photographs I have ever clapped eyes upon on this website.

I'm just getting into Photography and am struggling to get any decent shots, if I manage to get within a quarter as good as you then sir I'll be extremely happy.

Brilliant well done.

Keep meaning to do some City night photography, and those are pretty inspiring. Will have a go at some night shots in London when I'm back down there.

Excellent!

I love HK, it's an awesome place. Those are great photos, good work. You're lucky not to have too much polution there when you took those.

Great pics. I'm off there next week with work but unlikely to have any time to take any pics

Hello all, thanks very much for the comments . They were all taken on a D300 with either a Sigma 10-20 or the stock 18-70 for the panorama shots, all with a tripod and remote shutter release. It's my first real outing with the 10-20, and I must say it's a fantastic lens, it almost makes you think differently.

For those of you are going shortly, I'm jealous, I was there for a couple of weeks, and there just wasn't enough time, especially working a combination HK and UK time every day. But hopefully back there later next month for a while and hopefully will try and get a bit farther away - time permitting.

Those photos are simply amazing! Would look very nice blown up to mount on a wall.

Thats soemething i've always wondered do people on here put their best photos onto canvas as seriously those photos would be something I personally would love to have blown up for my place.

Wow, are you sure you haven't just scanned some postcards Look way better than my pish poor attempts when I was there.

Excellent shots, very inspiring, thanks for sharing.

I usually lurk on this forum and rarely comment, but I just wanted to say that I think these are amazing pics. These and the Maldives and Venice shots from other recent posts have spurred me on to dust off my camera and get stuck in again.

Strewth. I'd be happy with any of those... and as for the last one...

What PP was done on the night time shots? Take the last one for example? The colours are just so vibrant. Fantastic
