紅館山頂觀 / 香港體育館全景 Hong Kong Coliseum Panorama / SML.20130527.6D.15089-SML.20130527.6D.15098-Pano.Spherical.176x93
I have to take a break from my photojournalism, so here is a panoramic view of the Hong Kong Coliseum (香港體育館), photographed recently when I went to attend a lecture but could not hear a thing because the sound projection at the “mountain top” was dismal at best. So as usual, I took the opportunity to do photography instead.
The coliseum is better known amongst the public as the Hung Hom Coliseum (紅磡體育館, 紅館). Although it was built for sports originally, it was mostly used for pop music concerts and other large performance events which need to house a large amount of audience. Opened in 1983, it seats 12,500 people and is the second largest indoor facility in Hong Kong, only behind the AsiaWorld-Arena opened in 2005.
The seats to the top of the audience stage is intimately known as the “山頂” (mountain top) mostly because it was so far away from the stage. But as you can see, it offers a fantastic view for panoramic photography.
Stitched using 10 full res RAW captures with the 6D + 17-40 f/4L. Processed using Autopano Giga 3, a new pano stitching software I just bought and am trying out.
