Hung Hom was mainly occupied by Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock, Green Island Cement Company and Hok Yuen Power Station in the early development before WWII.. Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock, founded in 1863, was once among the largest in Asia. The dockyard was heavily bombarded by air forces in WWII. In 1985, the dockyard land was transformed into a private housing estate, the Whampoa Garden, the second-largest private housing estate in Hong Kong, after Mei Foo Sun Chuen.
黃埔船塢、青洲英泥廠和中華電力的鶴園發電廠為紅磡最早期的工業設施。1863年，杜格拉斯等人於廣洲成立黃埔船塢，及後於香港仔、大角咀和紅磡設立船塢，當中以紅磡最大，曾是亞洲最大規模船塢之一，二戰時曾遭到轟炸，1985年重建為黃埔花園。

1860年，清朝與英國簽定《北京條約》，把九龍半島南部連同昂船洲割讓給英國，邊界為現今界限街位置，主要作軍事用途，保護港島。1898年，英國再與清廷簽訂《中英展拓香港界址專條》，租借九龍半島北部、新界和鄰近兩百多個離島，但九龍寨城除外，租期99年，九龍半島才開始發展。照片攝於現今愛民邨迦密中學位置。
香港北部舊稱群帶路，英方稱維多利亞，我認為這與風水地貌有關，從九龍望向港島北岸，外形猶如一條長長的群帶，路作區域解，清代時廣東西路曾發生械鬥。港島南面外洋則有擔桿洲，其貌猶如擔桿。
The part of Kowloon Peninsula south of present day Boundary Street and the Stonecutters Island were ceded to the United Kingdom from the Ching Empire by the Convention of Peking on 24 October 1860. The area was originally used for military purpose by British Force.
Under the Convention for the Extension of Hong Kong Territory, the territories north of present day Boundary Street and south of the Sham Chun River, and the surrounding islands, later known as the New Territories were leased to the United Kingdom for 99 years rent-free, expiring on 30 June 1997, and became part of the crown colony of Hong Kong. The Kowloon Walled City was excepted and remained under control by Ching empire. Then Kowloon was started to develop into urban area. The old photos were taken from where the present day Oi Man Estate located.
The north coast of Hong Kong was called Kwan Tai Lo in the past while the colonial government called it Victoria. In my view, the name may be come from the landscape of Hong Kong Island viewed from Kowloon. “Kwan Tai” is the English transliteration for the Chinese 群帶 which means the long cloth belt for tying skirt. “Lo” is the English transliteration for the Chinese 路 which means district or belt zone. The landscape of the north side of Hong Kong Island is liked a long folding cloth belt. The Lema Island which is south from the Hong Kong Island and parallel with it, is also called Tam Kon Island. Tam Kon is the English transliteration for the Chinese 擔桿 which means flat shoulder pole for carrying hanging goods at both ends. The name of Tam Kon Island is come from the shoulder pole landscape of the island.
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.
Hung Hom Temple offers the loans up to HK$1 billion.

This was photographed for someone in France who said he wanted to see Asian men playing sports. I am a nice guy, so I tried to fulfil their requests if I happen upon relevant subjects when I walk around town….

About :
繼上次在遠處拍攝收費站( 繁 忙 時 段 )，今天終於下定決心到這裡拍攝了。
今天我在香港體育館旁逛了很久。因為要到這地點拍攝，必需要鼓起很大的勇氣。
這位置欄杆和行車路的隙縫位就只有5公分闊，悄一不慎也會被旁邊的大型旅遊巴或公車撞倒。因為路面太窄我不能用腳架，我就只好靜靜地站著，身體緊靠欄杆邊，用Liveview 模式拍攝。記得當時路面的震動，再加上我緊張時的心跳聲，害我多拍了幾張才成功。悄一拍完，我就連忙跑回安全地帶了。
說真的，雖然這照片還未滿意，但我也不太想再冒險到這位置拍攝了。
＊今天還得要謝謝好朋友Ray幫忙看管皮包，因為拍攝時也發現，帶著相機袋也很有可能被汽車撞到。

The Hung Hom Station (紅磡站), formerly known as Kowloon Station (九龍車站), is an MTR station on the East Rail Line and West Rail Line in Hong Kong. It is located next to the Cross Harbour Tunnel in Yau Tsim Mong District, Kowloon. It is one of the three Hong Kong ports-of-entry on the MTR network which connect directly to mainland China.
This 360-degree panorama was shot handheld with the 6D + 17-40 f/4L. It is handheld, so parallax error is unavoidable. I do not generally do location scouting for my photography, but with a proof-of-concept capture in hand I will definitely go back with my tripod — when I get my pano head. Any day now—seems it is a must buy item in my arsenal now that I started doing so many panoramic shots.
22 captures stitched using Autopano Giga 3, processed in Lightroom 4.

Whenever people are in the market for an SLR, they come by and ask me what I thought of Nikon. I really don’t have an answer for you. I have been shooting with Canon since I was a teenager, so I know my Canon lineup very well. I do not have a lot of disposable income so although I have played with Nikon cameras, I will not be considering adding a Nikon to my camp any time soon.
So “what about Nikon?” I don’t know. Go ask a Nikon guy. They will probably love it but they are likely not in the position to compare that with Canon either.
Bottom line: the two compete in the same market, their technologies are similar to one and another. Their handling is different. You get used to one and then you stick with it.
Sticking with it is key — don’t jump around the two camps. Photography is a lifetime investment. If you ask me I would recommend that you get a Canon—for starters you are free to play with my lenses if you want to. Go with Nikon? Good luck, I won’t be able to help with any of your camera purchases in the future, but I am sure that if you can find a friend who shoots with Nikon, they would know.

I went to PolyU to see a drama performance last week, and just like my sources at the university has mentioned, the bamboo scaffolding on the Innovation Tower is completely gone, and now you can see the organic forms of this magnificent architecture soaring to the sky.
As I last wrote [1], Zaha Hadid is one of my all-time favorite architects, and this will be her first permanent fixture in Hong Kong. Truly it is incredible.
I was just passing by, and it was super late at night, but here you see why usable high ISO matters. This was shot with the 6D + 17-40. It was shot handheld with 3 exposures. Without a tripod it is not really technically ideal to try at HDR but thanks to the modern marvels of technology, the features are aligned nicely.
Trust that I will go back during the daytime when I have a chance.

這天一心想來拍攝繁忙的紅磡海底隧道的入口。
可是能夠拍攝隧道入口的行人天橋，剛好被隧道收費站的指示版遮住了。
退求其次，唯有在遠一點拍攝汽車到隧道收費站的畫面。
總覺得很不甘心，可是要拍到隊道入口的話，可能要跑到行人天橋上的行車路上拍攝。
那很危險吶...
＊最後也跑到那裡拍攝了，詳見：www.flickr.com/photos/ehoba/3749505944/

The Whampoa is a large mall of over 300 shops and several themed worlds, including a ship. Stretching over 1.4 million square feet, The Whampoa, is one of the largest shopping, dining and entertainment centres in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
The landmark of Whampoa Garden, a ship-shaped shopping centre building. A Jusco department store is in its basement.
This area was the Whampoa Dockyard before developers turned it into apartment buildings and shopping centers.
"Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock was a Hong Kong dockyard once among the largest dockyards in Asia. Founded in 1863 by Douglas Lapraik and Thomas Sutherland, the Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock Company (known as Hong Kong Kowloon and Whampoa Dock Company). In 1865, it was known as Kowloon Docks located on the south coast between Hung Hom and Tai Wan, facing Hung Hom Bay in the Victoria Harbour. It is also known as Whampoa Dock for short. The "Whampoa" part of the name comes from the Huangpu, formerly Whampoa, area of Guangzhou (formerly Canton), where the company owned another dockyard."

海底隧道是香港首條跨海隧道，1969年9月1日動工，1972年8月2日港督麥理浩爵士主持剪綵儀式後，與藝人沈殿霞乘坐老爺車首先使用，自始汽車渡輪服務大受影響。1975年，港府將鐵路總站遷往紅磡填海區現址配合，並興建了大量多層停車場。
The Cross-Harbour Tunnel is the first tunnel in Hong Kong built underwater. It was constructed from 1969 and completed in 1972. Prior to the opening of the tunnel, cross-harbour vehicular traffic depended on ferries. In 1975, the government relocated the Kowloon Station in the present site, adjacent to the Cross-Harbour Tunnel. Many multi-storey car parks were constructed afterwards.

Okay, so yesterday evening has to be a candidate for some of the weirdest weather I've seen in Hong Kong. Fog rolling in from the East, sun breaking through from the West and fleeting clear blue sky above after a thoroughly grey day. I have upped the saturation a tad to bring out those colours caused by a combination of the above, but this is essentially what the view out of my office window was like at about 6pm yesterday evening.
