In the end of february I've been to Hong Kong and it really is an impressive city! I'd love to get there again in the future

The view upon my first hotel there - even at night it's not *really* dark there. Maybe it's because I'm from a 50k people town and not from a 7 Mio people city but I've never seen such a bright sky at night.
#1

Canon EOS 500D
Sigma 12-24mm 4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM @ 12mm
F4.5
ISO 800
1/15 sec

The building that's disappearing in the clouds is the 5th highest building in the world and the highest building in Hong Kong. 484m high.
#2

Canon EOS 500D
Sigma 12-24mm 4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM @ 15mm

You really get a great view from some of the skyscrapers!
#3

Canon EOS 500D
Sigma 12-24mm 4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM @ 12mm
F4.5
ISO 100
1 sec


Looking at the EXIF data I think I've used the Sigma 12-24mm quite often...
#4

Canon EOS 500D
Sigma 12-24mm EX DG HSM @ 12mm
F7.1
ISO 100
30 sec

At night the clouds weren't disturbing too much (well - the highest buildings were cut off by the clouds but... ) but I'd have loved to see some sun to get some nicer pictures that were not shot at night
#5

Canon EOS 500D
Sigma 12-24mm EX DG HSM @ 12mm
F4.5
ISO 100
10 sec


And I had my analog camera with me! Really! Why? It's full frame and works with the full 12mm of the Sigma lens!
#6

Canon EOS 33v
Sigma 12-24mm 4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM
F8
Kodak ISO 200
1/50 sec

Some buildings could act as mirrors:
#7

Canon EOS 500D
Canon EF 100mm 2.8L Macro IS USM (YES! It's another lens!)
F2.8
ISO 800
1/160sec

And a last shot for the moment - I really like this one as it shows how Hong Kong looks: a lot of people, a lot of advertisement, a lot of traffic, summary: a LOT.
#8

Canon EOS 500D
Canon EF 100mm 2.8L Macro IS USM
F5
ISO 800
1/60 sec


Yeah - I really want to visit that city again (usually I don't really like big cities but I kinda fell in love with this one).

I really like #2!

Well... my personal favorite is #3. I think I should have used a tripod when shooting the second one. This way I could have kept the ISO down and then a slightly longer exposure could have given a bit more detail in the dark parts...
