“馬料水渡輪碼頭 Ma Liu Shui Ferry Pier” / 香港夜之寧 Hong Kong Night Serenity (15-sec LE) / SML.20130418.6D.00932
Situated adjacent to The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Water Sports Centre (Chinese: 香港中文大學水上運動中心), there is a ferry pier which provides regular ferry service to remote areas including Tap Mun and Ping Chau in the northeast New Territories [1, 2].
Pictured is a 15-second long exposure of the pier at night shot across the harbour from Ma On Shan. As with most super telephoto photos, I was quite surprised to see the details. For example, there is no way for me to see that someone is on the pier from so far away, and yet there he is, sitting by the pier. He appears to be fishing while a woman look on on the side.
Photographed with the 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L + 1.4x Extender, which effectively created a 560mm f/8L lens. With the exception of the Canon EOS 1D lineup, none of the other cameras can auto-focus at this size so it is manual focus. This also means that it is probably not going to be possible for me to use this combo for sports photography.
