“尖沙咀鐘樓 Clock Tower in Tsim Sha Tsui” / 香港歷史建築夜之形 Hong Kong Historic Architecture Night Forms / SML.20130426.6D.03172.SQ

The Clock Tower (尖沙咀鐘樓) in Tsim Sha Tsui, also known as Former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower (前九廣鐵路鐘樓) is the only remaining artifact from the original site of the former Kowloon Station on the Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR, now bought by MTR). Built out of red bricks and granite, the Clock Tower stands 44m tall and is situated right next to the Hong Kong Cultural Centre [1].

 

I photographed this mainly to see if it was actually possible to use the 100-400 at night, and amazingly it was with the 6D—seriously crazyisgood. The IS on this lens is quite powerful as the exposure was 400mm, 1/80 sec, f/5.6 at ISO 12800. For lenses without IS shooting at 1/80 sec at 400mm would be impossible.

 

Very soon in the future not a single human would understand the concept of a “fast lens” vs a “slow glass” as technology advances.
