International Finance Centre of Hong Kong, where the Dark Knight made a stunning descent, defying villains in the new Batman movie.

Hong Kong island as viewed from Kowloon.

Shot from Tsim Sha Tsui.

Taken with a Fuji FinePix F810 on a footbridge in Wanchai, Hong Kong.

This is crop from an HDR panorama taken on May 9, 2010, during a hike along the Island Peak trail. I held the camera still against a railing, and each slice is created from exposures at 0.5, 5, and 13 seconds. It would have been easier to take the photos with a tripod, but i probably wouldn't have hiked as far, and probably wouldn't have gotten the same perspective. There is quite a bit of haze in the air, but at night it helped catch the light from the buildings.

Nikon D90, Nikon 18-200mm, Photomatix 3.1, Adobe Photoshop CS4, Adobe Lightroom 2.7.

All lit up.

I took this photo beside Hong Kong Airport. One airplane departed over the port at the magic time.
