Fujifilm X-T10, Samyang 8mm F2.8 UMC Fisheye II

 

HSBC Main Building is the first building of its size in Hong Kong constructed entirely of structural steel without any reinforced concrete in its inner core. Designed by renowned British architect Lord Norman Foster in 1985, this hi-tech building in Central is a marvel of modern architectural design. Natural sunlight is the main source of light inside the building, with a bank of mirrors directing it into the atrium. At the time of its construction from 1978 until it opened its doors eight years later, this beautiful structure was the most expensive skyscraper ever built, costing a whopping $668 million (HK$5.2 billion).
