Hong Kong – Photos

I shot a lot of time-lapse videos while in Hong Kong and so didn’t shoot as many photos. Here’s a few of my favorite photos from the six days I was in Hong Kong.

I stayed at several hotels while in Hong Kong.
My room in the Metropark Hotel Wanchai had a really cool and hip look, and the staff was friendly, but the hotel was damp and had the worse mildew smell of any hotel I’ve ever stayed in. To make it even worse, the hotel staff was trying to cover the mildew smell with heavy use of air fresheners that just made things worse.
Just to show how damp and humid my hotel room was, I took a shower in the afternoon after checking in, the next morning there was still water drops covering the floor of the shower.
I checked out after one night with clogged sinuses and a headache.
I had a suite at the Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View with nice views of Victoria Harbor. Fairly traditional room, nice with not a lot of flare. Starting to show a bit of wear.
The W Hong Kong was nice, but the use of the W Signature Scent in my room seemed a bit heavy. I also stayed at a W Hotel in Taipei on this trip and didn’t notice such a heavy use of the W Signature Scent. It seemed like the staff at the W Hong Kong were trying to cover up a mild mildew smell problem.

Hong Kong Fireworks No Comments
I’m in Hong Kong for 6 days. By accident, it turned out that the day I arrived is the National Day of the People’s Republic of China and was being celebrated in Hong Kong with a fireworks display in Victoria Harbor.
My hotel was a few blocks from the harbor, but I had watched the Chines New Year fireworks from near there last year, so I decided to head to Victoria Peak to see if I could find a good location to watch the fireworks.

Hong Kong Buildings, Panorama No Comments
While in Hong Kong in order to take photos of some of the really tall buildings I started playing around with shooting vertical panoramas, taking several photos of a building to capture all of it and then combining the photos in the computer. Because the combined photos would be a wider angle view then is actually physically possible, showing both looking up and looking down, there had to be some distortion added to the photos which I though makes then more interesting.
