This month’s Wallapaper is one of my favourite recent images of Hong Kong. It was taken using a 24mm PCE Tilt-Shift lens (which is unfortunately in need of repair at the moment). I’ve really grown to love using a tilt-shift lens and although I’m still only coming to grips with the basics of this approach, it is really opening up a lot of creative possibilities.
Quite a few friends have commented on this image, suggesting that there is a kind of sadness to it. Although I don’t like to “explain” my photos, there is certainly an element of longing that, for me, is part of the act of creating photographs.
That’s at work in this image as well. I shot this view of Tsim Sha Tsui back in early April. By this stage the decision to move to Singapore had been made and I was starting to live with the reality that Hong Kong would not be home for much longer. Maybe there’s a little of that coming through in this image – I don’t know.
