Just jiving in TST

While I was in TST, I came across an awesome guy who was having a party by the harbour.  The guy had an old style boombox from which he was playing a selection of classic 80's rock music and all he was doing was just sitting by the harbour and jiving to the sound of the sweet, sweet beats.

I got several pics of him but the best, surprisingly, was actually this one taken from behind him and with the Exhibition Centre in the background.  And seeing as, for some reason or other, I'm doing a tour of the HK tourism board website - http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/see-do/highlight-attractions/top-10/golden-bauhinia-square.jsp

The Hong Kong Clock Tower

My tour of the HK tourism website continues as I visit the old clock tower.

The clock tower is a landmark in Hong Kong with almost a hundred years of history.  I suspect it's also one of the most visited tourist attractions in Hong Kong owing primarily to the fact that it's situated in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui and placed right next to the ferry.  Even discounting the number of people who go there deliberately, the amount of foot traffic just passing by on their way to somewhere else is enough to elevate it's status.

Naturally, I had to follow the standard image composition when taking this picture. :)

A crowd of Lights

Every night, in Victoria Harbour, people in Hong Kong are exposed to "one of the world’s most spectacular light shows".  At least, this is how it's described by the HK Tourism Board.

Speaking for myself, I wasn't that impressed.

Regardless of my own views though, the attraction does attract a crowd every evening.  Given I wasn't impressed with the light show itself, I've always found it more interesting to take pictures of the crowd instead.

Still on Ying Wa Street

Wow - last week got crazy busy and passed by quickly!

A week late on this but better late than never.  This picture was taken at the same time as my previous picture of the new law court.  Again, it primarily came out of playing around with the camera when I wasn't taking a picture of the actual law court. 

Although, with that said, you can see the law court in the background.

Ying Wa Street

The West Kowloon Law Courts Building is a new court being built in the west side of Kowloon.  The building isn't finished yet but it's close enough that you can get some decent photos.  Well, you could if you know what you are doing.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a good photo of the building itself but, while playing around with the camera, managed to get this picture of the street it's on. 

The West Kowloon Law Courts Building is on the other side of the road on the left side of the picture.

The return of the Meister

Wow - been over a year since I posted here.

To be honest, I had initially decided to stop updating the blog at all.  Frankly, it was taking too much time.  However, I realised recently that I need to spend more time taking photos if I want to actually improve my photography skills.  After all, what's the point in having a decent camera if you don't know how to use it!

So in that vein, I'm going to try to post a picture once a week.  Hopefully, that will force me to take photo's on a regular basis.

Below is a recent photo of Gordon to get us started.

I think he likes the noodles...

Gerry and the profile

I'm back from holiday which means that I have a small window of time before life gets busy again.  Which means (finally!) another photo!

This one is of Gerry.  It was taken at a playground where he was running around like a madman - hence why he is just wearing a Tshirt and his hair is caked in sweat (eww).  I managed to catch a photo of him during one of his brief pauses and I like the way it shows off his profile.
