Whampoa Golden Harvest Cinema Escalator

The featured image was taken from the escalator for Golden Harvest’s Cinema at Whampoa Garden. The entrance is on Tak On Street and opposite the big ship. By MTR: - Closest MTR Station: Whampoa (Kwun Tong Line) Address: Whampoa Garden, Tak On St, Hong Kong

All months of the year are suitable to photograph this escalator.

The vibe is best at night, but consider visiting mid-day when there won’t be as many people using the escalator to see a movie. You’ll still be able to capture the dark atmosphere and contrast from the neon lights.

By using a wide-angle lens (14mm) you’ll best capture the vertical length of the escalator.

The escalator lights flash and have motion so consider which state is best for your composition.

If the elevator is busy with other people, be patient for a moment with no one to arise, otherwise you'll have to do a lot post-processing work.

If you're photographing a model have them try different poses.

Enjoy a movie at the cinema or go shopping at the big ship!
