What you will learn
While fully capable and willing to help you understand the technical aspects of your photography, David hopes that you will learn more about thinking differently and creatively as he shows you his Hong Kong. He will cover framing and composing your photos, how to use "selective focus" to isolate or enhance a feature in your frame, "setting the scene", why the right exposure sometimes isn't, and other simple, but effective, ways to get more from your photographs. And along the way he will tell you a little about the history, and quirks, of Hong Kong.

Meet at Central's Statue Square by the entrance to the subway (MTR exit K). Here we will be able to photograph many landmark buildings in the financial centre of Hong Kong as well as visit the oldest outdoor street market of Hong Kong. We will then visit Hollywood road temple and the Cat street flea market. The walk will wind down the back streets of Sheung Wan area where a lot of "local colour" can still be found. The walk will end at the Sheung Wan MTR station.
Route 2
Meet at the Central Star Ferry pier (next to IFC 2) and we will cross the harbour to Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) via the historical Star Ferry boat. In TST we will walk along the "Avenue of the Stars" promenade and see breathtaking views of the Hong Kong island skyline across the harbour. We will then proceed inland towards Yaumatei and complete the walk at the Temple Street night market.
Route 3
Starting in Wan Chai, the area famous as the setting for the Suzy Wong story, and an area undergoing great change, and ending in Tin Hau, we will walk through and visit street markets, fresh food stalls, back streets and temples. First we visit the famously varied and bustling Wan Chai street market, an area of butchers, fish vendors, fruit and vegetable shops, incense, egg, clothing, household goods and toy sellers, among others. We then walk down Queens Road to a small, but very popular temple, then up into some quiet “ladder streets” and residential areas. We then make our way to Tin Hau on one of Hong Kong’s famous trams, opportunities for pictures abound, both in and out of the tram. At Tin Hau we visit its famous temple, dedicated to the goddess of the sea and then explore the area around the temple.
