Behind The Lens
Location
High above the crowded city of Hong Kong. The shipping container ships head towards the port of Shek Wan as clouds build over the famous Lion Rock.Time
Early afternoon brings the sun onto the high rise buildings across the harbor. With the disastrous air quality of Hong Kong, any time of day you can see your hand in front of your face is a good time of day!Lighting
While the climber was important, the white legs of Stuart needed darkening a bit to allow the sunlit buildings and hills behind to shine.Equipment
Nikon D55, held with a bit of old string while I dangled off the end of the climbing rope. Nothing fancy. Just get out and do it.Inspiration
While in the middle of it the city sucks at the soul. Escaping to the places that few get to see recharges the batteries. The city actually looks quite nice from this distance.Editing
Tweaks in a basic editor program to darken the foreground and lighten the back ground.In my camera bag
Cloth to wipe the gunk from the lens, string to tie it onto my harness and a fisheye lens, just in case.Feedback
Get above or parallel to the climber, no one wants a bum shot.
