The Sampan.
HDR attempt #11-ish?
Single exposure HDR attempt #3-ish probably? Not too sure...but it's generally when you have to shoot for moving objects in the darkness.
This was shot after a brisk walk after a huge dinner...And a huge dinner in Hong Kong means that you will have to walk every slowly and be careful as to not exert at any amount because you might just have to retake your dinner. =)
Clearly it is a lot different from what I had perceived and the light show wasn't on. Such a shame, really. I'm always fascinated by bright and colourful lights like I'm a goldfish, probably. Anyway, I walked up and down the Starwalk for a good half hour to get a better view and composition...and to find a freed up pillar to lean against. I took this just when I heard that a motor sound getting louder. Talk about noise polution over the many tourists and Hong Kong islanders' hustle and bustle. Let's not forget the loud speakers from the performers and vendor stalls. I turned and saw something that is perfectly suited to be in the frame. I must not miss this chance. Who knows when I'll get the next tourist sampan coming by. I had to act fast.
I was in the usual tripod HDR settings, ie, bracket exposure, low ISO, high Had to switch my settings in a quick go and if anyone have been using a Nikon, the switch can be very time consuming. Luckily, I play plants and zombies, so my fingers and queue of settings to change in my head lined up perfectly.
Handheld, ISO1600, speed of 1/30 against the fast moving huge sampan...and that's why I roll with a f/2.8. *high nose*
Hands steady without exerting too much strength...Hold your breath...burst it... Done.
