We love Hong Kong and lived in mid levels from 2005 to 2007. Yes this view from the Kowloon side is iconic. You have chosen a very difficult scene to capture with its extreme high dynamic range. The water turned out very good. I assume you were on a tripod. Just getting the camera in a proper position so that the buildings are straight is a difficult task. The actual capture could be done with a remote shutter or time delay to avoid any vibrations. You could deal with the high dynamic range with exposure bracketing and then combining images. I wish I had been shooting right next to you!   Posted: 07/04/2026 09:04:33

While cities just aren't my thing, you've done a great job capturing Hong Kong, a place I'll never see. The water reflections are lovely, the buildings impressive. Personally, I'd crop in a bit from the right to get rid of the low bright light and just a tiny bit from the left to get rid of the cut off white light. I wish the whites weren't quite so bright, but that's how they are in reality I'm sure.   Posted: 07/04/2026 10:47:37

Great shot of the city. The light reflections on the water are spectacular. I also have some issues with the white lights on top of buildings, Richard's suggestions should help in future shots.   Posted: 07/14/2026 07:44:36
