    The light is so well capyured here. I love the fact that you can still make the hills out in the background.

    I never really notice the mountain behind until you mention it. You see, while Hong Kong is densely built up, the hilly mountains and reserves are very green and not touched too much. It is a great place for hiking…

    yeah, most people only have their eyes on the commercial glassy towers, and forgot about how people live….. It is beautiful from a distance, but it is really small units where people stays.

    Yes Mren, they are useful. For this particular night shot, that 10 seconds is very important. My camera does not reproduce good result beyond ISO-100, so I am kind of forced into that exposure-range. If this is taken in Sydney, it will be 20-30 seconds….

    Crystal clear night shot! You couldn’t have done better with this one! At first I thought the sky had noise, but after looking closer, there are actually clouds visible, along with a mountain or hill of some sort? This is really first rate – I love it!
