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.

HU4937, a Duple Metsec bodied Dennis Trident of Cityflyer at Hung Hom KCR bus station. These were, in my opinion, the best looking vehicles in Hong Kong.

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 was going to PolyU to see a drama performance yesterday. Noting that I would pass through the Hung Hom MTR Station for this performance, I took the tripod and the Manfrotto 303SPH pano head with me so I can photograph the station on my way back home.
You can see that I have a similar shot earlier [1], which was a 360-degree pano shot without a panoramic head, and it was full of parallax error. But the earlier shot was done during rush hour so there were definitely more interesting things happening—you could do people watching, for example.
For this shot, the architecture is more pronounced, but more succinctly, you can see that although pano heads are not exactly cheap, they do serve a very functional purpose.
Stitched with 12 captures with the 6D + 17-40 f/4L. To accentuate the ceiling, these shots were angled 30-degree to the horizon, and thus require spherical projection to stitch accurately.

1950年代和2009年紅磡
Hung Hom in 1950s and 2009
Photo Collection : www.flickr.com/groups/2674798@N22/pool/
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年和2009年的九龍南部
Kowloon in 1860 and 2009

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.

1905年9月，定例局 (今立法局)通過興建九廣鐵路，1906年開始興建，1910年10月1日英段通車，現時的紅磡總站在當時是車廠所在，1968年遷往沙田何東樓。
The construction of the Kowloon–Canton Railway began at 1906 and the Kowloon section was opened on 1 October 1910. The railway workshop in Hung Hom was moved to Ho Tung Lau in 1968, followed by the relocation of Kowloon Terminus there in 1975.

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。
