Here are those fishermen seen earlier in the stream [1]. And it appears that they are in fact not one man but two women. They sailed all the way towards me so I took a series of videos of them—to be posted. Soundtrack is a big issue for videography. I am so sick of writing music just to go with these tracks. But if I don’t write them they become very boring to watch…
This is a bit of an extreme crop—lens not long enough. If I photograph enough of these I will go get a 100-400 sooner or later.

Sunset by the sea. The texture on the water surface looks like cotton. In my mind water is not supposed to look like that, and yet it does.

Covered in a full wet suit with a snorkel, a swim ring around his waist and a string which is attached to a styrofoam box for storage, a fisherman in Hong Kong swam near the surface of Tolo Harbour to catch crabs.

An island was discovered near the water surface yesterday when I was testing with my new toy—the Canon EF 1.4x Extender III which turns my 70-200 f/4 L lens into an effective 98-280 f/5.6L lens.
I don’t really know what it is. From the angle I was shooting from on the 27th floor, it is hard to tell exactly how closed by it is. Is the Hong Kong Government doing some deep sea research? WTF is that? This “island” spans at least 100m in length and is seen very close to shore (10m). It first appeared yesterday but it is no longer present today.

This is a night-time panorama of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK 香港中文大學).
It is stitched together using 7 RAW captures of 20-sec long exposures mounted on a tripod near my bedroom window. This time I braved it and stuck my camera all the way outside the window so I was able to do it at the same position without using two windows.
Floating on the sea on the left you will see the floating light anchor seen earlier in my stream [1].

An unexpected effect from working on the serenity series (which is scenery outside my window) is being able to predict weather based on cloud formation and wave patterns on the water surface.
Last night based on pattern recognition alone I predicted that it will rain this morning even though it was very sunny outside. No one believed me. And it poured heavily today. I did take photos before the storm also but it was not really interesting to look at. But some time when I have a moment I will show you what I meant.
Pictured: A white yacht was seen sailing alone after that storm has passed during sunset. I am particularly drawn to how every small bit of sunlight from the cloud creates a smudged bits on the seascape.

Since posting the photo where I described how I am now able to predict stormy weather based on patterns on the sea [1], a few people commented that they would like to see what those patterns look like. It does not look like that it will rain for a couple of days, so I looked into my unprocessed archive to find an example.
I did not post it previously because I did not really like how this looks at full resolution, but it does illustrate the patterns quite well so here it is.
# Observed patterns
+ The wave forms are disjointed. Compare this to a sunny day, where the lines are continuous and smooth
+ The waves have heights and they are very closed by to each other. And so on a photographic capture they look almost like a dessert.
+ Clear wind patterns. You can see the wind blowing the water into these valleys (white on photo) in very thin lines. These thin lines then break the thicker wave forms (going horizontally).
Because how fast the water is traveling, it seems that I need to up the shutter speed next time, so I will remember that. I might also try an ND with this as it might be interesting. On a normal day it makes close to no difference photographing this as a long exposure or not because the water remains relatively still.
# SML Thank You
I am surprised by how many people actually read my photo descriptions, as evidenced by the comments left behind in direct response to things which I wrote. Thank you for your gentle encouragement and support. You rock! Lots of SML Love to you. :)

It is hard to decide which white point to balance to in total darkness. This is one the challenges I face everyday. It is very subjective. In rendering these I usually try to develop the mood which I seek. Having a POV matters. And yellow/magenta seems to work well for this foggy night.

+ 夢: dream, dreaming. Metaphor for foggy view.

The reference to the Chinese classical literature titled 紅樓夢 [1] Dream of the Red Chamber [2] is intentional. The Chinese character 樓 means building / chamber, and is depicted as architecture seen here in the foreground (科學園Science Park [4]) and the Tai Po district in the far back.

# Notes
1. 《紅樓夢》，原名《石頭記》，是中國的一部古典長篇章回小說，亦是中國四大名著之一。 zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hk/红楼梦
2. Dream of the Red Chamber (simplified Chinese: 红楼梦; traditional Chinese: 紅樓夢; pinyin: Hóng Lóu Mèng; Wade–Giles: Hung Lou Meng), composed by Cao Xueqin, is one of China's Four Great Classical Novels. It was written in the middle of the 18th century during the Qing Dynasty. It is considered a masterpiece of Chinese literature and is generally acknowledged to be the pinnacle of Chinese fiction. "Redology" is the field of study devoted exclusively to this work. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_of_the_Red_Chamber
3. 香港科學園（Hong Kong Science Park，縮寫HKSP）位於香港新界大埔區白石角，處於吐露港沿岸，毗鄰白石角海濱長廊，鄰近香港中文大學。第一期發展佔地22公頃，第二期及第三期總樓面面積達330,000平方米。第二期工程於2006年竣工，第三期預計於2013年至2016年竣工。 zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/香港科學園
4. The Hong Kong Science Park is a science park in Hong Kong, located in Pak Shek Kok, New Territories, on the boundary of Sha Tin District and Tai Po District. It is also next to the Chinese University of Hong Kong in Ma Liu Shui and is on the Tolo Harbour waterfront. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Science_Park

As always, I prefer natural looking HDRs, but then this sky is calling for drama—mostly courtesy of the full frame body + 17-40. To be frank I am super happy with the 6D purchase, and am very glad that I finally get to photograph scenes on the wide end. Nature can be so dramatic.
This is handheld—banking on my window, so the +3 shot was at ISO 320 but it is close enough that the moving boat did not cause too much of a ghosting thanks to 6D’s decent 4fps shooting.

The terminus has an island platform with the tracks ending in a dead end overrun, a scissors crossover is located just past the arrival / departure end to get trains back onto the correct tracks.
A Foggy Day in ShaTin Town.
Tolo Harbor at sunrise, ShaTin, New Territories, Hong Kong. The buildings on the right are part of HK's Chinese University.
'Squatter Control Numbers' (寮屋登记号码) were painted on all squatter structure registered in the 1982 Squatter Control Survey (SCS) carried out by the Hong Kong government. These buildings are "tolerated" and "allowed to exist" by the government if left in their originally surveyed size and design, but cannot be sold to a 3rd party, and may be demolished by the government at any time.
In the middle of the night, factories at the Tai Po Industrial Estate (大埔工業邨) across the Tolo Harbour is still pumping smokes non-stop. Under this long exposure, they are rendered as fans in the air.

In essence the couplet describes exactly what you see. I still need to work on this. Hopefully be able to write out some real Chinese poems in the future with the correct 平仄 syntax and everything.

People say that they don’t like the EOSM because it has no electronic viewfinder. To be honest when it is so dark at night it was easier to to manual focus on the LCD while zooming in 5x then using a viewfinder. I think that I lost my remote cable release so I photographed this on the EOSM because it was easier to just do a 2sec countdown and snapped it without adding much vibration to the capture.
