“藍天靜水岸邊沙” / 香港烏溪沙之寧 Hong Kong Wu Kai Sha Serenity / SML.20130416.6D.00697

Located on the shore of Tolo Harbour northwest of Ma On Shan in the New Territories in Hong Kong, there lies a place called Wu Kai Sha (Chinese: 烏溪沙) which is familiar to many locals. It is famous for a campsite—the Wu Kai Sha Youth Village of YMCA, which is often used by Christians in Hong Kong as a place for retreat. Shown here is the beach which lies directly adjacent to the campsite, which is located at the end of the Ma On Shan Promenade.

 

Because the ND filters I have add such a strange vignette, I also shot some photos at the beach without it. Here the vignette is natural to the 17-40, and I really want to find some graduated ND filter soon in Hong Kong but I do not know where to get them near by. Simply put there is no equivalent of B&H in this part of the world.
