    Looking at HK a bit differently

    Spring can sometimes be quite foggy, obscuring visibility and potentially creating hazards for those small boats lost in the fog around HK waters. But it does have one benefit, allowing us to look at HK a bit differently. Familiar scenes and locations take on a distinctly different feel when seen through the mist, as these stunning photos show:

    So, under what weather, season and time period have you found HK to look rather different than usual?

    Almost forgot, but this HK photo is also quite eye-catching:

    Summer, when the wind is rather from the south not from north or northeast. Every few years we get nice skies under these conditions.

    cool that a compact mirrorless interchangeable len camera ( with an aps-c sensor) can take such nice photographs in the right skillful hands of a photographer

    Sounds like you are the camera expert around here. I might have to learn a thing of two from you about camera tricks!

    Speaking of memorable HK photos, I think we can remember these two shots, taken during the spring storms last year (or was it the year before, can't quite remember the exact date):




    Are we going to get similar kind of storms this year? I think it is more than likely, since once the season hits that "sweetspot", the weather will be prone to instabilities that can generate such visually impressive weather.

    I am actually very novice, JGL has much better knowledge, I know everything about mobiles, retro video games, hifi and other geeky stuff, sadly, camera and techniques is not my speciality
