kowloon, hong kong (photography thread)
ive been to hong kong five times, each time for a few days. its an OK place to visit, but if you dont live in Asia, I would recommend going to Thailand or Korea. Here are some photos I took with a D80 Nikon and a cheap $100 20-80 zoom lens that I am learning how to use. I just took these photos on Auto-mode, but if you can comment on what would have made them better, that would be helpful.
Hong Kong Island Mongkok is one of the most crowded places on earth (the SARS virus must have been scary). The people live in small public housing rooms and there are tons of hourly motels available for those who want to get away from their other family members. Chungking Mansions, made famous in Wong Kar Wai's Chungking Express... Its a shady building with many African and Indian residents. Signs advertise rooms available for rent on various floors. cool movie poster pork and chickens dim sum on a stick squid street snack fruit fried vegetables, meat and tofu. bakery chinese doughnuts served with a thick rice soup |
