I think I want to go to the Peak to get some wide angle long exposure shots on a clear night. Maybe even play around with my fisheye. Could be kind of fun.

The peak is cool and all, but there has to be 100,000,000,000 shots taken up there over the years.

Still, it's a good place to get a shot.

True, but some people don't like to shoot at places where everyone goes like a friend of mine does.

The peak is a place where you can just buy a postcard and you'll "get the shot" LOL. No need to actually go up there.

Maybe it's just me but I just like the sense of accomplishment that I took the shot instead of buying a postcard. Plus, photos are somewhat like a signature. Everyone approach and outcome will be slightly different. At least for me, that's enough of a reason to give it a go.

I like places not many people go.

True. But there's varying levels of camera saturation. I've been in a private boat off the outlying islands... not many cameras out there.

thats true also HK has some of the nicest nature places around and easy accesible as long as you take the effort to go.

Some other nature, last night in Causeway Bay:

The third one is a nice concept but I kind of wish the lighting wasn't so hard. What was your lighting setup Marco?

Btw, I'm not a landscape photographer (mainly shoot people and actions sports) but I'm attending this seminar by Edward Stokes (supposed famous HK landscape photographer) on Wednesday night. Admission is like $10 donation. Not sure if you guys have to join the group to see this but I thought it might be kind of fun:

yeah the light there is a bit hard , but then also this was also just a quick edit, need to retouch her skin a bit, clone out umbrella reflections etc.

BTW the bottle gives away any light setup, 1 single umbrella and a large reflector. on the motorbike we had a 2 light setup with reflector

I wish I could go, but have to work!

I like it. Is the last one PSed?

hi, and thanks, only the 1st one i did some retouching and cloning, the last 2 only some vibrance, saturation and sharpening, still need to get back and clone out reflections etc

mmm... 4 days without activity. What's new? How about talking about how your username come from?

Well, I finally got around to browse my photos. I was looking through my practice shots with the 580EX II. Sometimes I just find little things to shoot when I don't feel like to go outside. The photo below is an example.
