Nice series, the Xpro works well (except for those in the Venetian's internals imho)
Reminds me of old HK canto movies I used to watch when I was a kid on our old screwy television, ahh memories

haha glad it brought back memories! =) Point noted on the venetian's. Thanks!

Cool!! you have an eye for interesting subjects!

Thanks! all are handheld photos =)

love No. 25 ! :thumbsup:

I like it too, picture turned out better then expected as lighting was bad. =)

#81 You can have a fantastic view of the Hong Kong Airport from here

#82

#84 View up on the cable car is fantastic and if you notice there are footpaths below for people to walk/hike all the way to the giant buddha. It looks like an extremely long journey though...

There was a exhibition on posh sport cars in the gaming area which allowed photography. I was 'guarded' by the security to make sure that my cam doesn't pt to the gaming table. lol. was wondering how u escape it, especially there's a big X photography sign. lol

Glad that you like them, i am using Lightroom for this series and basically using the technique of split toning by adding warm highlights and cold shadows, hope that helps =)
