A 6 hour walk in Hong Kong
My friend Chris Handley came and joined me and my brother for a nice long walk in Hong Kong. I think there is no better way to explore a city than to grab a camera and go for a nice long walk. It does help to have someone who knows the area but not always required. Thankfully Chris knows the area well... Causeway Bay Hong Kong... I started shooting the view out of my hotel window everywhere I go this year. It is going to be interesting to see the collection of photos at the end of the year.
I love shooting with other photographers who shoot very differently to me. Chris is one of those photographers. Every time I saw Chris framing a picture I couldn't figure out what he was trying to frame but then when I saw the shot it was really good. It was just something that I didn't see myself. This shot is one example of that.
Note: All of the other shots that are really good below were probably my idea... :-)
I don't shoot shots like this a lot but I saw him coming and want to make sure I am catering to both my male and female readers, so Ladies of ShootTokyo this is for you...
We stopped and play with reflections in water a bit...
One thing I like about shooting with other photographers is when they captures some 'action' shots of me...
I think it came out pretty cool...
The old police station had these very cool paintings on the front walls...
My brother Mark...
Meet Chris...
Yes I'll take your photo when I finish taking mine...
We walked through some parts of Hong Kong that I haven't been in before...
One tip Chris gave me after shooting this shot was to make sure you have a Protector, or filter, over your lens as these sparks are hot enough to damage the glass. Thankfully I always have them on my lenses.
A public service announcement: No photos please.
I take photos of these to help let the larger photo community know they don't want photos taken.
It's OK to chimp as long as you are with friends...
Very Hong Kong...
A little telephone repair going on...
Revenue of the Nerds.... it sounds so eighties.
I updated the message a bit...
I stopped by for my 3rd fitting on my suit at A-Man Hing Cheong Tailors at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel (5 Connaught Road, Central, Hong Kong, +852 2522 3336). Their work really looks good...
I love the feel of this. I can't wait to see the final suit...
Thanks for stopping by today...
