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."
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.

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.

About :
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/

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.

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.

Whampoa, Hong Kong
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.

早於1910年九廣鐵路通車，港府於現今理工大學與香港歷史博物館之間位置設置木建臨時火車站，1921年拆除。1975年，港府將鐵路總站遷往紅磡填海區現址，配合1972年啟用的海底隧道，為配合海底隧道通車，港府於紅磡、油麻地、尖沙咀、上環、金鐘和旺角等地興建多層停車場。
An old Hung Hom station, a temporary wooden structure located on Chatham Road South, began operation from the first day of Kowloon-Canton Railway on 1 October 1910 to 15 September 1921. In 1975, the government relocated the Kowloon Station in present site, adjacent to the Cross-Harbour Tunnel and Hong Kong Polytechnic. The tunnel was opened in 1972 and was followed by the construction of many multi-storey car parks.

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.
A shopping centre shaped like a large ship. Yes, really.
I hadn't been down here since I was a child, in part due to the area's previous relative inaccessibility. However, we were staying in a nearby hotel so this area was the closest commercial district to us.
I love when I find these for sale. They are so sweet. The best places to find them for sale on the streets that I've found is around Mong kok and hung hom

1880年代紅磡只是一個尖尖的小半島岬地，其後陸續填海作為船塢用途，對出的海灣叫紅磡灣。19世紀末期設有九龍船塢，後來轉為黃埔船塢，還有青洲英泥公司和和中華電力的鶴園發電廠(1921-1991)。船塢於1980年代中重建為黃埔花園，電廠和英泥廠則於1990年代中重建為海逸豪園和工廠大廈。
Hung Hom was started to be developed into industrial area in late 1900s with Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock, Green Island Cement Company (1898-1970s) and Hok Un Power Station (1921-1991) occupied there. The dock was redeveloped into Whampoa Garden in 1980s while the cement plant and power station were redeveloped into factory buildings and Laguna Verde in 1990s.

This is around 7am, but the cross harbour tunnel is already and always busy, the Government is really taking no effort to solve this traffic congestion problem...lucky I am not a driver :P

I dread it when people ask me what I photograph, because I don’t really photograph anything particular that is deemed interesting to normal humans.
This is Hong Chong Road (康莊道), a road next to the Cross-Harbour Tunnel (海底隧道) in Hung Hom (紅磡). Far in the background is Hotel ICON (唯港薈), which is the teaching and research hotel built for The School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM 酒店及旅遊業管理學院) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) [1].
I photograph this because I like how the lines lead the eye through the frame. This is for my 中文字形 Chinese Typographic Forms series, where I find Chinese characters in a frame after noting that the concept of 形 Forms is not readily appreciated by the Chinese audience but they can relate to Chinese characters.
