The urban landscape is filled with billboards and other distraction, so it is often hard to find a perspective which is void of all the visual distraction when using a wide angle lens. However, I think that I have identified the way out—look up and remove everything except the sky.

 

This is another shot of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Unlike the previous shot which is about the architecture’s overall recognisable form [1], this one is a minimalist take on one of the facade which lights up with tiny spots at night.

 

The irregular and almost organic light fixtures echoes the slightly cloudy sky, whereas the linear angular architecture creates contrast to the otherwise dark sky.
