Hong Kong is next, with the D700 in my pack, plus my favorite street photography lens – Nikkor 50mm F/1.2. In my opinion, Hong Kong is fast becoming a city of smog and heavy pollution. There’s no longer a reason to bring a long lens anymore since you typically cannot obtain good visibility beyond 500m all year round.
In the last decade of visiting Hong Kong annually, I felt that night street photography is most ideal as it tends to conceal the air pollution, while allowing us to capture the brightly neon-lit infrastructure. Mask-wearing crowds are common sight everywhere. The only remotely possible scenic spots lie in the smaller outskirt islands of Hong Kong.
Bringing along the Nikon P7000? Of course! It has now officially become a permanent item in my camera pack. Perhaps I may even pick up a new P7100 if the price is right while in Hong Kong. That’s how good I think it is!
(Notes – If you are fortunate, you may get a clear day right after a moonsoon for landscapes, but that’s about it. Rain expected too!)
