Hong Kong

Greetings from Hong Kong, where I am revisiting this place with my D800. The last time I was there was in 2007, I was a rookie on flickr and had a Sony A100 :)

I was truly lucky to land in Hong Kong today with an exceptionally clear weather, which urged me to rush to Victoria Peak as soon as I unpacked my luggage.

This shot was processed on my slow laptop, but somehow it managed to handle the digital blending of the 5 D800 raw files.

I wish you could also see the full size 36 Mpix photo! :)

During my whole stay in Hong Kong, I was extremely lucky to get a clear and haze free sky every night, as well as lovely moving clouds, a true "Long Exposure Heaven"!

I took this photo the morning of my last day in Hongkong back in September. It didn't appear to be a spectacular sunrise that morning due to the lack of clouds.

But as the sun appeared there was this beautiful haze. This together with the warm light made the photo for me.

Those who have been following me for a long time know that I have never posted much B&W shots. But last year I attended a workshop of my friend David Duchens in Paris and now I am really into this genre. But it is really time consuming :-) In this frame, two of my top favorite Hong Kong buildings: the Bank Of China and the Lippo Tower. Shot with the Nikon Z7 & Nikkor Z 14-30mm

Shot from the so-called Jardine's Lookout hiking trail, a easy hike with a very rewarding view on Hong Kong's beautiful skyline. Panorama shot with the Nikon Z7 and the Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR2, full resolution 123 Megapixels.

Nikon Z7 | Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4. NiSi V6 | Natural Night Filter.

The NiSi Natural Night filter did an excellent job suppressing the very strong yellow color cast all over the highway, and providing a natural green hue to the trees.

An hyper-claustrophobic view of Hong Kong, scary yet fascinating...

Most of the classic shots are taken from this little red pavilion, but if you dare climbing over a fence and go a little higher, you can get this nice composition. Follow me on Instagram
