Traffic

Traffic coming along the flyover, onto Cotton Tree Drive. Long exposure without a flash to creat the white streaks of the headlights. I also like the starring of the street lamps

These three delightful pirates allowed me to take their picture last night in Lan Kwai Fong.

One of my favourite shots I have taken at night in Hong Kong. Shame about the smudge on the left hand side of the photo, though.

Where the old star ferry terminal used to be.

With the wonderful, clear weather we have been having lately; I decided to go out last evening and take some night time shots - this is one of them.
To all of you who know Hong Kong, this will be recognisable as the dragon-clawed phallus that dominates the Hong Kong skyline. For the rest it is IFC2, which at the moment is Hong Kong's tallest building.

Hong Kong twilight

After the rain, yesterday, there was a really clear twilight. Although, cloudy the sky took on a really blue colour.
I took this photo from my balcony with the wonderful 35mm f1.4 L lens by Canon. The beauty of this lens is the sense of perspective that you get from the shot

Corporate branding to the extreme

One of the fire escapes in the HSBC building in Hong Kong. Is it corporate branding gone wild, when you arrange the lighting to reflect corporate colours. I hope, and I am sure, that in the event of a fire alarm the lights would all turn white. Although I used a cable release, I am disappointed to see the camera move - there was a bit of wind that evening. Oh yes, I took this from my balcony, which is a fair distance to the bank!

Happy Man

Taken whilst on holiday, I like the contrasts here of old, western male and young, oriental female. I also have a thing about photogaphing bald heads!
