Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

What did the star ferry do to greenpeace? A re-occurence of what happened in NZ? :lol:

Great pics mate. I have never used or seen the 180mm - is it a macro?

The Nikkor 180mm is a prime AF-D 180mm/2.8. Great lens and it's the same league with the Nikkor 200mm micro.
I'm sure Mic have one and I do have one too!

Yes, very compact lens (1.7lbs) and small in size but have power of F2.8.
Keep one in your camera bag and you will be surprised by its effect.

Now I am using 12-24 and 180mm. I start to love this 180mm lens for it is compact in size and good in result.
Thanh has the price.

Hi Poon
These pix have deeper, richer colour than I normally see in photos from HK. I assume that is attributable to the polariser.
Thanks for posting them. :)

Great shots Poon, they really bring back memories to me. The last time I was in Honkers they were still building the Culture Centre! :lol:

Mr Poon, great shots of the Star Ferry! I particularly like the front-on shot with Ocean Terminal (I think) in the background. Shall have to catch up with you next time I'm in HK, may go back with Gladys around Chinese New Year, we'll see.

Hi Mr. Poon,

I agree with Trent... The head-on shot of the ferry is a great capture, but looking at it again I think it's moving away from the camera...
Cheers, John
