Hong Kong Mid-Levels

Quick picture of the Mid-Levels below Victoria Peak on Hong Kong Island. Was walking from Wan Chai a little ways up the hill and came across this scene as the sun was setting. It still amazes me how beautiful the city here is, with structures leaping from the ground on the sides of mountains surrounded by dense jungle and housing hundreds, sometimes thousands of people in a single building.

Victoria Harbor Hong Kong

Victoria Harbor and the infamous Hong Kong Skyline are a couple of the most photographed spots in Asia. Although there are quicker options to cross the harbor by taxi or car in one of the tunnels or on the MTR lines that access Hong Kong Island, many people still use ferries like this one regularly. A trip from Tsim Sha Tsui to Wan Chai or Central takes about nine minutes and offers some really nice views of the city. This particular image was taken from the waterfront in Tsim Sha Tsui.



Father down the waterfront in Tsim Sha Tsui are quieter and less touristy places which offer equally nice views of the skyline on Hong Kong Island. This was taken near the Hung Hom MTR station along the waterfront.


Hong Kong is known worldwide for its food. In addition to having its own specialties of Dim Sum and "stinky tofu" along with many other things, Hong Kong offers some of the best ethnic food from all around Asia. Sushi restaurants can be found on almost every street and block in the densely populated Kowloon Peninsula and are very easy to stumble across in the New Territories. This sushi was at a place in Festival Walk not too far from the Sha Tin MTR station.

Canon 7D

Test shot with the new Canon 7D! Picked up the camera yesterday at one of the shops on Mong Kok's famous Sai Yueng Choi South Street. Buying cameras and electronics in HK is a simply wonderful experience, as the prices are unbeatable. And, providing you go to the right shops, the camera or whatever else you may be buying is not from the 'grey market' but rather a completely legitimate piece of equipment!

Anyways, took this earlier. It is Hong Kong's famous skyline yet again (get used to it, there will be lots of skyline pictures from now on). Settings: ISO 100, F/22, 30s, 17mm, Canon 7D

The colour may be a bit off on the picture above, but that is 100% human error. Forgot to change the K-Temp from earlier in the day and this image is 100% unedited except for a very very slight realignment/crop.

The video capabilities of the camera are pure quality as well. Once I learn how to shoot them properly I'll add a clip to Vimeo and embed something here on the blog.
