The bay

Sometimes, I wish I had a wider lens in my arsenal. This is one of those times. I wanted to capture the curve of the shore on the left as well as the boats in the turquoise waters.

Taken at the south side of HK island. Tried to emulate the slide film look (v. high contrast & saturation, etc).

Onyx,
First! Bloody pop up!
Second, it's nice! but can't swim :lol:
Third, where all the WA lenses in Pool's stocks? Loan one and bring it back and loan another one :lol:

Lovely water Onyx, but I'd hate to bodysurf onto that beach! :lol:

Great shot Chi. No WA? I can't believe it, that comment from Nikon heaven!

Love the contrast and saturation Chi, really adds to the shot! WA? Pfft, pano. ;)

MCWB - my orig was a much like yours. HK skies are always polluted grey even when they're meant to be blue, so I artificially boosted the saturation to make things more appealing. ;)

I see not much has changed there in 3 yrs. I did do a pano series from the other side of the bay (Stanley Market side), dammit it's nearly half way thru the week now and I've yet to finish PP'ing last weekend pics! :?


Oh yes, beware the pop-up with Imageshack. Win SP2 has a pop-up blocker, Google's toolbar for IE too. But I hear the best pop-up blocker is a little program called Mozilla Firefox. :D

Good shot. I like the saturation change.

As already mentioned, you're in lens heaven for $@$# sake and you don't have a WA in your arsenal. Doesn't Poon ever go out for lunch :wink:
