Hong Kong (Part II)

In this post, I'll share more landscape photos of Hong Kong. This time I had shot a couple of sunsets and sunrise as well.

In my opinion, the best sunrise view would be at Victoria Peak (太平山). I woke up early at 5:30 a.m. to get myself ready and also my equipment. The MTR services start at as early as 6:00 a.m. so I took a train to Central (中環) station and a taxi ride to Lugard Road (盧吉道). Along Lugard Road (盧吉道), the view is much better than the view from The Peak (香港山頂) and it's free of charge !

7:04 a.m.

7:24 a.m.

7:40 a.m.

7:45 a.m.

There were some others that early too...

After sunrise, let's enjoy some sunsets ! The following photo was taken in Mong Kok (旺角) which is near to the place I stayed.

I went up to sky100 Hong Kong Observation Deck capture some sunsets and night cityscape of Hong Kong. I purchased the ticket in advance so I can skip the queue and enjoy some online discount. The ticket costs HKD142 and HKD168 for online purchase and walk-in purchase respectively.

After the sunset...

There are a lot more night cityscape worth viewing and photographing in Hong Kong. I went to a few more other places around Central (中環) and Admiralty (金鐘) as there are a lot of beautiful skylines there.

And the last but not least, the best up-close view of Hong Kong city at Victoria Harbour (維多利亞港) !

Hong Kong (Part I)

This is my second visit to Hong Kong and this time round I had my DSLR with me rather than a compact point-and-shoot camera I used in my first visit. Beside better equipment, I brought along a set of knowledge and experiences I've accumulated over the years :)

I've always wanted to capture something unique of the cities or places I visit every time and to me Hong Kong is very unique because of its densely populated city. Hence, I would like to start my post with the architectural photos of Hong Kong.

These high rise residential flats, apartments and condominiums are everywhere so you can hardly miss. I found those located in Choi Hung Estate (彩虹邨) are more colourful ! Besides, I tried some long exposures in broad daylight too !

And some landmark shots.

These are all the photos I'm sharing with you for now. Stay tune for my second part for more ! Let's end this with another popular landmark in Quarry Bay !

Happy New Year 2015 !

Another year has gone and a great year has just started. Let's us all have an awesome year ahead and Happy New Year 2015 everyone !
