The mailboxes around hong kong are very interesting. They vary from the traditional ones to the more modern ones in larger buildings like this one.

From my room at the Hotel Icon in Hong Kong, I captured this long-exposure shot of the Cross Harbour Tunnel entrance. The dynamic light trails highlight the vibrant movement and energy of the city's nightlife, showcasing the constant motion that defines Hong Kong after dark.
Local temples to Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, have extended their hours so worshippers can borrow from her.
Tradition is that Guanyin once a year provides the means to become wealthy.
But these are loans, and borrowers must clear the debt by the end of the lunar year by burning a red packet at the temple where a deal is made. Offerings, meanwhile, are welcome.

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.

CA475, an odd looking two axle Metrobus, much longer than is usual in the UK, waits in the queue at the Cross Harbour Tunnel toll. This photo was taken on my first visit to Hong Kong, before China Motor Bus ceased to exist and services were taken over by New World First Bus.
This is the setup I currently use for most of my panorama shots. It includes the following:
+ Canon EOS 6D. An affordable (and my first) digital full-frame body. Here shown without the battery grip, as it the Manfrotto 303SPH does not extend far enough for me to use the grip in order to setup the nodal center point correctly.
+ Canon EF 17-40 f/4L. The widest lens I own. This allows me to capture for as far as I can.
+ Manfrotto 303SPH pano head. For a cool 670 USD, this baby certainly does not come cheap for a slab of metals, but after wrangling with parallax I made the plunge to buy it. I have now shot several scenes both with and without the panoramic head and you can see that it does make a huge difference. It is quite heavy though.
+ Manfrotto 190XPROB tripod. This is a versatile tripod with an easily rotatable center-column which is nothing short of genius. It replaces the 3021BPro tripod which I previously own.
+ Canon TC-80N3. My remote release. You do need this to minimize vibration. A lot of my photos shot in crowdy areas are somewhat long-exposures. Longer exposure renders moving objects as a blur, and thus hides the identity of people, so if I choose to publish it I will not need to get model release from every single one.
This setup was used to photograph www.flickr.com/photos/seeminglee/9404825673/ — some of my followers have expressed that the tutorials are helpful so I will try to do some more tutorials presentations in the future.
