A protestor adorning the Guy Fawkes mask was seen in the rally to support Snowden in Central, Hong Kong today.
Originally from the movie V for Vendetta, the Guy Fawkes mask has become the international symbol for the online hacktivist group Anonymous, which might explain why they are often commonly called the “Anonymous mask”.
Although these masks are seen across the globe for different governmental protests relating to the global financial crisis such as the Occupy Movement, it is a rare sight in Hong Kong.
I had expected to see more of these today but this was the only man I saw among the hundreds who showed up today.

The best time to photograph photographers is where there are rallies. I wonder if it may be too hot to keep a beard in Hong Kong. Good posture, nice shirt.

Whether Edward Snowden is a “hero” is up for debate, but what the NSA PRISM whistleblower did achieve is providing evidence which many have suspected—that the US government is mining valuable data on the Internet.
Big data analysis is nothing new—companies who provide free internet services have been doing this for years. Why did you think that Twitter has no advertising but manage to get so much venture capital investments? It is because it is very easy to decipher trending opinions on the web.
Google’s company tagline has always been “Don’t be evil”—mostly because the same technology that can be used for good can be used for evil. Mint.com uses big data to track consumer spending and financial status. Biomedical researchers can use big data to track virus outbreaks. United State government certainly can use big data to track anti-terrorism activities — but the real question is if they would not mine the data for other purposes also.
The other claims which Snowden made and enraged many Hong Kong citizens are evidence which points to US Government’s active hacking of local universities and businesses. Hacking for personal gain is definitely criminal. When the US pointed at China for cyber attacks, they have utilised the media on the side to paint an ugly picture of China, but pointing fingers first simply shows hypocrisy on the country’s own politics. And this fact provided ample ammunition for political activists world wide.

Several hundred people gathered at Chater Garden in Central, Hong Kong yesterday to show their support for Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower who recently made the US NSA PRISM electronic surveillance program public.
Since the PRISM program does not really distinguish its users — and specifically if is _really_ is to protect the American public from terrorism, then it is clear that foreign traffic is its target, banners and signs specifically call on the US government to stop spying on foreign data.
Snowden has also mentioned that the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), its being the main backbone of Hong Kong’s internet traffic, has been one of the hacking target by the NSA, including other private businesses and citizens. The locals are specifically enraged by this fact, especially since the US has called on China for doing cyber espionage on American technology companies.
Perhaps China is also trying to do anti-terrorism? Hey, you never know.
# SML Photography Workflow
This panorama covering 360-degree horizontally and 96 degree vertically was stitched doing using 22 full res capture with the 6D + 17-40 f/4L. It is hard to get an aerial vantage point on this gathering, and noting that the event already has many public media presence, I chose to do panoramic photography for the most part of this event.
This is stitched together using Autopano Giga 3, with the anti-ghost algorithm. Since the program cannot output layered PSD files with layer masks I can only utilise their algorithms to managing ghosting vs missing body parts. You will see mostly odd time-variable missing body parts in this case.

Hundreds of protestors rally outside the Central Government Offices of Hong Kong yesterday, blowing whistles and shouting to support Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower who revealed to the public about the PRISM electronic surveillance program employed by the United States.

# Workflow
I wish to show both the protestors in detail as well as the amount of public media surrounding them, so using my Canon EOS 6D affixed with the EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS USM and photographed handheld at 400 mm.
All in all, 73 RAW images were stitched together inside Autopano Giga 3.0 and output as Photoshop Large Document Format (PSB). Inside Photoshop I then create a vector mask to remove the edges. Since this was shot handheld, it was fairly difficult for me to make sure that I have had all the shots which I wanted.
I have been thinking of getting a robotic panoramic head for a while now but have not made a final decision between Gigapan EPIC Pro vs the Kolor Panogear. Both are fairly expensive. The other option I looked at as the Manfrotto pano head but since it was almost the same price as the robotic heads I thought that it makes more sense to go with robotics.

Hong Kong policemen (and policewomen) stood by in front of the Consulate General of United States of America before the rally made their way to the consulate. Journalists from different international public media outlets were all wrangling to try to find a good spot at the site.
The US consulate in Hong Kong is situated on a hill with a very narrow side street (Garden Road) thus making it hard to find a good spot to photograph.
Also, unlike the US, there is no law in Hong Kong which states that it is illegal to photograph the police, so policemen in Hong Kong could only give an annoyed glance at photographers without being able to bully the photographers.
(Stitched together with nine 7D full res RAW captures with the 100-400. As usual the two ingredients which dominate all public events regardless of nation are: photographers + police, my two favorite subjects)

An international roster of photojournalists stood by at the footbridge crossing Garden Road between Cheung Kong Centre and Bank of China Tower waiting for the rally to go underneath them.
Every time I go do photojournalism I would notice people trying to get a spot in the front. Actually the best vantage point is not down there—it’s up there. Grab a telephoto lens and start shooting.

An onlooker checks out a super long banner with the words: “Defend Democratic Values 真正「愛港者」桿衛民主價值” when protestors march on to the Consulate General of the United States from Chater Garden in Central, Hong Kong.
The Chinese sentence reads: the true lovers of Hong Kong would uphold the value of democracy.
(this pano is stitched with seven 7D RAW captures with the 100-400. As usual, I prefer to shoot panoramas so I can get the necessary resolution otherwise lost with a 17-40 + 6D, for example. The seams of the banner is not perfect as this is a time-variable shot. Also this is my first pano shot for photojournalism)

Here is another panorama shot on Saturday when Edward Snowden supporters protest outside the Hong Kong SAR Central Government Complex.
Unlike the previous shot [1] which was shot at 400mm, this one is shot at 100mm, also handheld. I had originally intended to see if I would be able to stitch the 400mm shots together with the 100mm to get a giant pano with both detail in the people area as well as the context—the flags which designate the location with the flag of Hong Kong and China in the foreground. But alas I was unable to with available software.
But hopefully the two together provide you with comparable details. There was not a lot of available light on Saturday so zooming in will not provide as much detail as the 400mm shot.
The main challenge lies in using body as a robotic arm to cover the entire area. It is not as easy as you think—as in the past I have often missed many areas so for something which I cannot go back and rephotograph, I did overdo it a bit.
Stitched with 70 captures inside Autopano Giga 3.0 with some edits in Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4.

When the Snowden supporters past by the entrance o the US Consultate in Hong Kong, they ran along the entire Garden Road wrapping around the entire consulate. Frantic journalists all trying to get a good shot were fighting for good vantage points to photograph while the police tried very hard to get the photographers off the street—unsuccessfully.
To be frank, I think that there may be just as many journalists at the rally as there are people protesting…

When I document events I find it more interesting to capture both the subjects _and_ the photographers rather than the subjects alone.
Leung Kwok-hung 梁國雄 (born 27 March 1956 in Hong Kong) is a Left-wing political activist and a member of the Legislative Council in Hong Kong. He is also known as “長毛” (Long Hair) in Hong Kong because he has long hair, which is an uncommon feature among politicians in Hong Kong (and perhaps in the global arena as well).
I could not readily identify the reporters for this team, but if you know please do comment below. As with most productions, I am always interested in the amount of work which goes behind the scene which the viewer would never see.
