A view from Sharp Island - including the tombolo to little Kiu Tsui island which appears at low tide
haven't been out with a tripod, all the way to the spot and do a bit of long exposures for ages, I used to be with a tripod alot but since I got some fast lenses I got lazy and bokeh is like all I would shoot. Today I just feel like doing something like this again, forget about f/1.2 and iso1600, good that I still know how to do it, my limited skill is still with me :)
One of the many things I love about Hong Kong is how near the hiking trails are - it is usually enough to take the metro and go hiking. Peaks are not particularly high, the one here called Ma On Shan is 702m, but are often steep and climbs start basically at the sea level, so it's fun. This photo is taken from the top of The Hunch Backs - to get there you have to climb a very narrow and steep (660m altitude difference over 2km of hike) trail which is terrific.

Plover Cove Reservoir, located within Plover Cove Country Park, in the northeastern New Territories, is the largest reservoir in Hong Kong in terms of area, and the second-largest in terms of volume. It is the world's first freshwater coastal lake constructed from an arm of the ocean. Its main dam, which disconnected Plover Cove from the sea, was one of the largest in the world at the time of its construction.

A dull and rainy day in Hong Kong, working in my little room, twenty-one floors up.
