The moon was really there and about that same size, but I had to do a double exposure to get the exposure correct. I hope you enjoy it.

    Sweet. This is the first time I see HK skyline in B&W. I like how the fog(?) isolate the dark buildings in the foreground.

    Thanks, Dan! Didn't take long at all...just a drive up a big hill, pay a few bucks for the "best view in town" and take the picture. :D

    I've seen some good photos from Victoria Peak but this is definitely up there with the best.

    Thanks, Danny! First time I saw the view from Victoria Peak, I was blown away. The "punchbowl" of the mountain is such a great natural frame for the city below.

    Wow!
    I just spent about 45 minutes looking through your galleries ( still haven't seen them all) and every single one of your photos is breathtaking!
    I've bookmarked your site, and look forward to seeing more of your photos in the future!

    I wonder how this would look in color actually? B/W doesn't do much for me in this.

    This is spectacular. I was just in HK a few weeks ago but didn't get downtown. I really want to get back there and shoot the skyline. Beautiful.

    Actually, I think the color isn't as good as the b&w, so I prefer not to share it. Thanks for the comment. Hopefully you'll like some of my other images. :D

    I loved Hong Kong. My wife is from there and we were visiting family. They knew all the cool spots to shoot from. :D

    Thapam, What time of day did you take this shot ma'am?

    The reason I'm only asking because it looks like it's a little under exposed, And did you use a Pie chart to see how much time you needed to expose it with the enlarger?
