Photos from Hong Kong, June 2010

I finally finished processing my photos from my trip to Hong Kong in June.  I only had a few evenings free for photography.  I spent them mainly in Central.  I was shooting with my new Canon Rebel T2i.  I was really pleased with its high ISO performance.  It was also quite light and compact, at least compared to my 20D, which I had been shooting with for several years.  Highlights of this trip were some time on the Star Line Ferry from Wanchai to Tsim Sha Tsui and then from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central photographing the skyline, some visits to the bar and night life area Lan Kwai Fong, and some aimless wandering around Central, I think in the area roughly between Central and Sheung Wan. 

In SoHo, I had a nice dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant named Scirocco which was right next to the Central to Mid-Level Escalators, which I have photographed previously.  In Lan Kwai Fong, I came back to a cocktail bar 2121 every evening to refuel.  I like the ambience, which was more quiet and lounge-like than some of the other bars I saw there. I had a couple of dinners in Tsim Sha Tsui that were also pretty good, both in the new iSquare complex. One was at Chao Yang, and one was at nan hai no. 1. Those restaurants both have spectacular views of Hong Kong island. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures.

Here is a slideshow of favorites from the visit, from my Smugmug smart gallery of favorites:
