Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Mid-day
You can visit the Lok Wak South Estate Car Park during any month of the year.
The best time to visit is around noon when the sun is right above you, casting light over the beams and creating the shadow patterns on your subject.

Field tips

This is a very popular place to photograph. If other photographers are there, make sure you wait your turn and be respectful of their space.
Try out different focal lengths to get new perspectives. I shot this image using a 51mm lens with an f-stop of 4 so I didn't blur out too much of the structure, but play around with the camera settings and see what you like best.
Ask your model to strike a few different poses. They can use the wall to balance if they need to!

Do nearby

There's not much in the area as it's quite residential. If you're parched, visit the 7/11 across the street for a cold drink or an icy treat.
