Hong Kong 2011

I will "try" to update as I go along. I got with me one of my 5D and 35L with 2 batts. Only shoot in SRaw1 (don't need full res), editing in my MPB (uncalibrated), and apologises for the change of watermark as a result as well!

Just to warn you, there will probably be a lot of photos of food...I tend to do that lol

Bring on the food! I like #4 nice motion with the solitary guy in the middle, shame about the lounger on the pillar!

There's a hidden irony in #4 - the people without motion are on "mobile" phones.

You guys study shopping malls or something? lol

No choice when you have to fight through the crowds in the morning...

Awesome shots. Hong Kong is an amazing place for photography!

4 is very cool, I would possibly get rid of the static people apart from that central person, cheating I know.....

Nice photos Ray.

Number 11 - I am not sure I would have the balls to take this shot, did you not feel very self-conscious taking it? Surprised no-one seems to be looking at you.

Raymond Lin · 13 Apr 2011 at 17:25

I did for a second after I shot it. Then i moved on. It's just one of those things, its in every society, I try not dwell on it too much.

DB_SamX · 13 Apr 2011 at 18:39

Good photos so far. No. 3 could definitely do with a deeper dof, but it's making me hungry for sure.

Wedge · 13 Apr 2011 at 22:13

Awesome

Its pretty upsetting to see this, especially after reading that its likely to be a gang violence victim, mutilated for the purpose of begging rather then it being an accident

. You rarely see that outside central/TST. The same way that you see "monks" around TST collecting money, when real monks never do that. There is even a sign to report begging "monks" to the police at 10,000 Buddha monastery.

Anyway, really nice shots! How long are you staying here for?

Raymond Lin · 14 Apr 2011 at 09:44

Ahaha, green tea sprite. Accidentally bought that one without looking in an MTR 7-11 took a sip and my face went WTF?! Its not as terrible as it sounds, I was just surprised.

Razor-BladE · 14 Apr 2011 at 10:30

Really brilliant shots. You're making me want to go back! Such an amazing place to be.
I still have so many photos to process from last year xD
