Wow, so many people packed in there. It’s beautiful, nonetheless. Wonderful night shot.

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

superb night shot – wonderful
Colin Walker
Wow, great HK shot, the mountain is looking a but shy…!
hinting
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…

This is a terrific shot and creates the feeling of millions of people in a small area ….

I’ve been to Hong Kong many times but this is an aspect of it that I have not seen! Wonderful…

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.

thanks for posting your camera settings, helps us all understand a bit more…
Judith Oppenhe...
striking image. i like it.
hinting
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….
Deborah Fuller
awesome shot I love the lights and how you even captured the buildings, perfect.
Patricia L. Ba...
Beautiful! Can’t believe I’ve missed this one until now.
Rowan
wow…it is almost a majestic scene
EmmaLeigh
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!
rock
Better to be looking at it than looking from it!
Terrific photograph Hinting

The thought of living soooo close to soooo many people makes my skin crawl and gives me claustrophobia. but,it’s a magical image, like glittering jewels stacked up in the night sky. Beautifully captured.
