Rhyme of Hong Kong Images

The selected photos were taken in Hong Kong in 2007 and 2010 respectively. They represent part of my impression and affection over this city. I used foreground or framing for the photographic composition. Photo devices used: Canon Powershot S3IS (2007), Nikon D40X and AF18-200mm (2010).




Light and reflection of mirrors create an artwork of mosaic in the Central District. The figures on the bridge are carefully captured to ensure they will appear in each of the window frame.

The sky-walks categorize the busy part of the district into different sections of interesting movement.





The pedestrian bridge divides the view into 4 scenes: each with walking pedestrians, running vehicles, yellow trade-name or attractive display windows. The silhouette of the railings across the photo creates a vivid rhyme of the scene.

In the lobby of Shatin Museum of Art and Culture, the colorful and traditional artwork on the wall inflames my photographic mind again! I used a wide shot straight and square to fit the shape of the artwork. The curve lines just produce a ryhmetic movement.







The eye-catching red gates of the fire-hall catch my attention. The photo was carefully composed to make it fully visible under the fly-over. It was shot in recalling my happy early childhood in this village where the fire-hall was built.






A colorful scene looked through the artistic pattern of the window frames of my home in Kwun Tong.





The window frame on the upper deck of the Hong Kong tram displays the view of the horse race concourse in Happy Valley.





The tower captured with colorful banner, green trees and blue sky presents a sense of simplicity and graphic manipulation. The photo was eventually used in the printed materials of the concert presented by the Ontario Chinese Orchestra for the Hong Kong Huqin Festival.





A typical example how a new building exhibits its architectual art and pattern in the midst of an old district of Hollywood Road through the camera lens.





A rare angle of view displays the look of Nathan Road lined with double deckers.





Looking from the corner of the pedestrian escalator is Bonham Road in the mid-level of Hong Kong Western District.





The attractive silhouette of the branches and leaves enlightens my snapshot composition: they are foreground in the upper layer of the sky to embrace the Sham Chun cityview beneath the distant bluish mountain.





The pale and misty city scene is caused by the far distant view captured with a 300mm zoom lens. The scene itself is not attractive at all if lacking the silhouette of the tree and foreground of the reddish railings. Several thin lines of branches give the pale sky some surprise! Photo taken in Lau Sui Heung Road in Fanling.

The worship of the Empress of Heaven (goddess of sea) is depicted with burning joss sticks and candles with offerings of fruits in a sea-facing pavilion.
