Clive Barker's Midnight Meat Train One-Day Exhibit at the Packer Schopf Gallery, October 26, 2008
As I had hoped, the southerly storm caused ships rounding Whitefish Point to come inshore, seeking some relief in the lee of the land. I was waiting....
This time I had my tripod and screw-on telephoto.
Here the Barker is still pretty far off. Between the optical and digital zoom, and the 2x tele, this is magnified 80x.
When I took this I got a "low battery" indication, so I turned the camera off and waited for the ship to reach perime.

I have become quite a fan of the "big-head portrait" of late. It's always interesting to see someone from a view point you wouldn't normally. For this (and the other large head portraits featured here) I stood on a chair and photographed from above. I increased the contrast and added effects in Photoshop to create drama.
i'm helping the mit library in a study they're doing about how students collect information they need for research. as part of it, i had to keep a photo journal of my information-gathering activity. here's a shot of barker (engineering library) during my quest for journals.
thanks to noah for lending me his camera while mine's out of commission..sniff sniff.

Visit Amazing Hong Kong | Victoria Peak or The Peak on Hong Kong Island
Locally called The Peak, officially called Victoria Peak but administratively it is called Mount Austin, 552m or 1,811 ft in height, historically home to the very wealthy since the late 19th Century, US$100 - US$150 Million + homes are very common, the most expensive house (The Pink House on Pollocks Path) sold for US$410 Million in 2017. (Now demolished)
Fabulous skyline views of Victoria Harbour and the City are why The Peak should be your number one priority to visit and it is served by the iconic Peak Tram ( Funicular Railway ). The highest viewing point for the iconic city view is from the Peak Tower (428m or 1,400ft) and roughly the same for a point on Lugard Road which joins up with Harlech Road to circle The Peak.
The Iconic and world famous Peak Tram which has been running since 1888 re-opened for business on 27th August 2022 after a major upgrade covering every area of the "attraction" including almost doubling the capacity of the tram by using brand new carriages, the new 6th Generation Green Tram has a capacity of 210 passengers.up from 120.
☛ I have prepared very detailed How To Get To guides for 3 major attractions at Victoria Peak should you wish to explore on your own, they are image and information heavy and work very well on mobile phones.

The most astonishing Hong Kong city view is from a very specific point on Lugard Road (called the Lugard Road Lookout) roughly a 20 minute scenic walk from the Peak Tower (ish), closely followed by a specific point on Barker Road, nice views can still be had from the Peak Tower (requires a hefty payment) the Peak Galleria (free) and the Lion’s Pavilion (free) - there is NO city or harbour view from Victoria Peak Garden.
... and did I mention the night view of the City? On a clear night the view from any location mentioned above is quite staggering and from the Lugard Road Lookout it takes your breath away.
The best views occur in the Hong Kong summer from May to September with beautiful clear and sunny days particularly in July and August and naturally it is 32oC ish (90oF) with 90% humidity! Autumn and Winter in Hong Kong can be grey, cool, cloudy but on sunny days - WOW! Spring can be humid and very foggy - bear in mind even on grey cloudy days it can still be very clear at The Peak.
