Hong Kong traffic, a photo from Hong Kong, South

Photographer's Note

It´s my second photo of traffic in downtown Hong Kong.It was taken from one of elevated walkways in Kowloon.
I guess not only New York is the city that never sleeps:)

Yes Krzysztof, HK never sleeps, I realized this fact right on night#1 there, when saw people walk up & down Nathan Rd. on around 01:00AM.
Fabulous how well you managed this beautifuil night scene, with cars "flyed" by made a jet of lights on pic. space.
Fina taken shot, have a nice weekend,
Ike

hi Krzysztof,
My response to this is wooooooo :) I really love shots with light trails like this, and this is superb. To have the trails presented against that beautifully lit, and beautifully clear and sharp city centre is aj just perfect.
Fantastic scene and a very engaging picture. Really nicely done, cheers
Have a great weekend
Noel

Great POV, nice and up close so some of these perfect light trails fly above your head! They're joined by a lot of other really strong light, from the neon in the upper right to the cityscape beyond. A really cool portrait of a huge and bustling city here, Krzysztof - very well done!

Hi Krzysztof
love this! A real sense of movement but nothing to determine its origin makes this so special. The clarity and detailing are just amazing as is your accomplished execution here. A classy and quite wonderful image. Bravo!

Enjoy the weekend - Brian.

You have captured the 'buzz' of a busy modern city Krzysztof. The light trails whoosh through the shot adding a dynamic feeling of motion. Well managed and full of atmosphere. Warm regards rosemary

A very psychedelic one my friend! At that time I can't see much traffic but i can image during the day...Teh BG is amazing! For being a night shot, the sharpness is spectacular!
Hasta luego!

Hello Krzysztof,
Splendid nightshot of Hong Kong with the different light trails making beautiful curves.
Those light trails are a great contribution to the good balance on the photo and also to the sense of depth.
PS: I think there are many cities that never sleep. Years ago I was surprised to find out that Cairo never sleeps. A different atmosphere but a city that you can experience at any hour of the day and night.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Krzysztof,
Long exposure gives impressive results. Those lines of light seem to sweep so close. Lights of high rise buildings look good too.

Hi Krzysztof,

Now this is cool! Long exposures creating a trail of lights is always interesting, but the thing that takes this one to another level is just that, another level...I absolutely love the height of the trail captured with this shot, especially that it's a blue/turquoise color. What a fantastic sense of motion in a city that I'm sure never does sleep, very fitting image for the locale. The "transparent" sweeping lines against the vertical rise of the buildings is an added attraction here, this is simply mesmerizing! Strong composition and white balance, another great night shot. Thanks for sharing the view. Hope you're having a great weekend.

Wishing the best,

Jason

Witaj dear Krzysztof

Oh wow, this is such a great shot. But you don't need me to tell you that! The light and colours are perfectly judged, I love the curve of the light trails and the skyscrapers in the BG are the icing on the cake.

Superb photo, congratulations

Witaj Krzysztof,
jakie piekna dynamika tego zdjecia. Fantastyczny efekt I wspaniale wykonanie. Lubie takie zdjecia. Podoba mi sie kolorystka oraz swiatlo i ostrosc. 11-go stracilam prace po 25 latach I trudno mi sie tak pozbierac. Mysli gonia po glowie jak zwarjowane. Wiem ze trzeba sie pogodzic I isc za ciosem nieogladajac sie za siebie, ale jest ciezko.
Bardzo podoba mi sie to zdjecie. Super praca.
Serdecznie pozdrawiam I zycze milej niedzieli,
Barbara

Ciao Krzysztof
la tua Hong Kong è bellissima ed anche la foto che proponi rappresenta molto bene quello che sembra essere il ritmo frenetico della città e la ricchezza di luci che la illumina di sera.
Una ripresa tecnicamente perfettaalla quale non manca nitidezza e con una gestione delle luci ottimali.
Ciao e buona giornata
Romano

Cudowne sa te smugi swiatla. A najbardziej niesamowite jest to, ze te linie sa tak ladnie rozlozone w kadrze i do tego w dwoch kolorach. To niebieskie u gory to byl chyba autobus albo ciezarowka?
Bardzo ladna kompozycja i kolory.
Pozdrawiam i zycze milego tygodnia.

Robert1969 (7160) 2013-04-16 1:38

Hello Krzysztof,

Great point of view, light management and
composition: the picture has a lots of
depth and is exciting. The longer exposer
(the stripes of car-lights) emphasize the
exciting extra.

Friendly regards,
Robert

Hi Krzysztof
A mesmerising colourful night view, full of vibrancy which is perfect to keep the eye busy exploring the cityscape. This dynamic shot offers the opportunity to exploit the features for maximum impact and for me I love the depth and perspective which is accentuated by strong diagonal convergence and favorable angle that you have chosen The clarity looks so pleasant, well detailed while the streak of colors and sparkles add to the visual impact and sensation A poignant shot and good vision. Congrats
Best regaards
