Hong Kong Skyscrapers

not only does it look like a render… it looks like each building will suddenly sprout arms and legs! Great

Im thinking this is actually somewhere “off planet”....and that’s where you’ve really been!

Its tremendously beautiful, futuristic and of another place and time….Lovely colours and lighting as always:)

there is no way I could live in one of those. I like how the car give the image scale and depth great treatment.

It is like a scene from a star wars movie – as if they were on the march

Who says we’re not living in a Si-Fi!!!!

Nice colours in the sky and on the buildings. Nice processing on the clouds.

For me, this really has a dystopian feel to it – it’s unsettling and a little disturbing. The amber haze adds to the feeling of menace.
Once again Paul, wonderful painterly qualities and superb composition.

WOW – This is an incredible image… really blew me away!.. Love the scale emphasized by the car and the detail in the distance to the left. Can’t stop looking at it! (I have been hitting refresh on ‘Paul Vanzella’ all week… Either having too much fun or no internet access in little Italy – keep em’ coming)

well captured, did you manage to get to mainland China as well, these high rises are iconic, they represent the overwhelming critical mass that is China, very cool, cheers.

WOW, love it.

Excellent image Paul. I keep thinking of dimm slots when I see these for some reason.

Beautiful presentation of a great capture!

wow super composition! surreal! Love the car that gives the image scale

HI Paul, another amazing photo from you. Do you manipulate these in any way to get such a surreal effect?

What a magnificent image Paul! I almost expect another identical building to sprout up next to this line of buildings. But I’m with Graeme Hindmarsh here – those building, with the addition of the futuristic metallic one in the background, and the overall colour gives this image an ominious and unsettling mood. Wonderful effect!

Can barely believe it isn’t a cgi film set. Incredible work, the car is the winning piece.

a colourfull gotham city: vanzella returns….awesome

Ah yes, Hong Kong as some really cool cityscapes, which I love… I also love the building in the background, looks amazing. Have you heard of the nickname “penciltown”? Basically there are so many tall buildings, maybe only 10 stories high, not yet skyscrapers, but all standing right next to eachother, that seen from above it looks like a pot of pencils all standing up straight!

I had to search emporis.com for a while, but this is what I mean:

Thanks Christiaan – I looked it up, yes, it certainly sums it up!

bang

good one!

Amazing shot

Another fave. Composition, toning and the car for scale, makes this a winner :)

Absolute belter this one … love your shots.

tops! many a fine shot to be seen!

AmAzing, it does look out of this would!

Hey, I see Langham Place poking its head into the bottom left of frame there.
Beautiful tones here, and you’ve isolated those towers magnificently.

...it looks such an alien landscape compared to what I am used to….and just to imagine all the people in there!!!....Fascinating….

What an amazing cityscape, and yet still with the industry stacks visible too….beautifully framed, Paul, so very much the Honkers feel here! Magnificent shot!

This is awesome! I have a feeling that one of my colleague lives in those apartments…was this in the Kowloon area? I’m making the trip to HK end of this year and I hope to take shots like these…well done mate.

fantastic industrial landscape…i’m really enjoying looking at you work!
thank you ;-)

your images all seem plastic or fake. Not in a bad way. But at times it’s hard to tell if the landscape is real or a model. It’s fascinating,

i love those colors!

Pretty awesome shot from a moving vehicle. It looks futuristic.

I love HKG too, almost looks like lego here, great treatment, actually thought it was Dubai in the thumb, well done !!

Looks surreal…..how all high rises will look in the year 2050….on mars!!! Love what you’ve done with this image…..

You have such a great eye for a shot…even when on the move…very impressive!!!!

Tremendous composition. Of course, your treatment is great as well.

really like this one, again attention to scale really makes it magic

Excellent!

great composition ;)

A fascinating image. There is certainly something very futuristic about this cityscape (perhaps it is the grouping together of identical buildings?). Captivating image Paul.

your photograph is brilliant and fascinating ~ excellent work and so beautiful

amazing!! these skyscrapers look like some golden legos to me; I don’t think I could live here comfortably at all! This is a wonderful capture with the car in the foreground…

wow, what a unique and beautiful style you have!

Wow, fantastic capture.

I can’t believe such a place exists. The lines are beautiful. Like a giant motherboard.

looks a bit like a Jeffrey Smart work, awesome !

I keep coming back to your gallery and I always find some kind of gem like this. This is such an awesome picture. I love what you have captured here, with the color tone and your superb composition, among other things. When I can afford it, I am certainly going to be purchasing some of your works.

what the heck? awesome shot

Viewing your gallery of images is like I’m being taken off to another dimension, is this the land I was promised when I went to church as a child?

LOL – I wish it was…. but it is the visual land i like to live in… thank you so much for your kind comments here peter… love what you ahve said here, thank you!

Looks so unreal!

wow paul nice work on this mate

Love the repitition of form and pattern in this image! I have to agree architecturally the buildings are truly futuristic and in many ways make me think of Lego constructions!

Is this real??? OMG!! Ok so we moved to a larger town...and were closer to Spokane, WA….meaning I am going to pick a day soon just to get these monstrous architecture shots…because every time I see yours…I ache to do some of my own, LOL…awesome Paul!!

Awesome image Paul i like the inclusion of the car and shooting from car thats beautiful!!

fabulous

Looks more like a set off Star Trek. Fantastic photo. thanks for sharing

Incredible textures

Brilliant capture, I really love this image Paul.

Paul-This is so freakin fantastic-I’m struggling to fully take in this whole scene…ok defintely has a surreal “Matrix” movie look on a grandiose scale and to your credit captured perfectly.

Just tweeted it :)
