If you're going to the peak, here's what I suggest:
1. Go on a weekday. It gets crowded over the weekend.
2. Try to get up around 6:30 (it gets darker earlier these days).
3. You may need to carry a bag to weigh your tripod down, especially if your tripod is light or flimsy.
4. Make sure you check the weather before going up. If it's rainy/cloudy, it's not worthwhile given that the view would be obscured by the clouds/mist.
All in all, enjoy yourself. Don't make HK a camera-type holiday. Go there and enjoy yourself. Have great food, sightsee and walk around. If you can take photos along the way, that's a bonus
Thanks for the heads up ^^ :thumbsup: point 1,2,3 can make it. But 4 kinda hard haha
you wont know if it suddenly rainsWhy bother getting new pieces of equipment when there is no knowledge of what you need ?
Good knowledge + ok equipment --> decently nice results
Inadequate knowledge + excellent equipment --> probably not so nice results
And its pointless trying to advice on what to get as each individual's needs are different. How to use the tool simply depends on how comfortable the user is on using it.
My 2c worth - save the $$, just go and eat more food there. The food in HK is very nice
1 piece of advice, if you are going up the peak with a tripod, please note that there may not be space to deploy the tripod, and a lighter tripod will probably be shifted by the strong winds there. It may require a bit of additional weighting to stablise the tripod.
Happy holiday !
love the "just go and eat more food there". Will surely do thanks!
What make you think you will not outgrown the 18-200mm? The IQ is about the same as your 18-55 just that it has a superb focal range.I had the 18-200mm before and I thought it would stay with me for a long time but I sold it off 6 month later when I got IQ fussy.
I would be better than mine right? haha
