The sky 100 is a loft on the hundredth floor of a building in Hong Kong, from there you have an excellent view and you can take great photos. The problem, however, is the reflections of the windows, which can be avoided with rubber cones to be placed between the lens and the window. I used the shadow of this cone on purpose, making it look like the edges of a hole ...Equipment
This was shot with a Canos EOS R and a 24/105 f4 at 24mm - Iso 200 - 30 seconds with tripod .Inspiration
The place, the view and the lights of Hong Kong, all this inspired me a lot ... I took a lot of photos with different speeds for fear of not recording what I wanted, but in the end I succeededEditing
Yes , I used Lightroom Classic to crop the image and enhance color and sharpnessIn my camera bag
At that time I use to have always with me my Canon Eos R and my EF 24-105 F4L IS USM , this is a very 'jack of all trades' lens :-) I have a very compact and light carbon tripod from Fotopro that I almost always carry with me.Feedback
Find a place with a nice view and go there in the evening with your best equipment, a tripod and a lot of patience ... take lots of photos at various speeds and from various angles ... shoot, shoot, shoot always ... this is the best way to get near to your best photo! A well-known photographer, whose name I don't remember, when asked what his best photo was, replied: it's the one I will do tomorrow :-)
