Sham Shui Po split by Cheung Sha Wan Road

The featured image is an aerial view of Cheung Sha Wan Road splitting the Sham Shui Po neighbourhood. I flew my drone from the Maple Street Playground area (just off the road) and composed my shot northwest up the street. By MTR: - Closest MTR Station: Prince Edward (Kwun Tong Line & Tsuen Wan Line) - Take “Exit E” - Head north on Nathan Rd toward Boundary St - Turn left onto Boundary St - Turn right toward Maple St - Turn left toward Maple St - Turn right onto Maple St - Turn left onto Cheung Sha Wan Rd

All months of the year are suitable to photograph an aerial view of Cheung Sha Wan Road and Sham Shui Po.

For soft light I recommend visiting in the morning or late-afternoon. If it’s an overcast day (like when I visited) the time of day is less important as the clouds will take care of the harsh light for you!

Pay attention to the wind and weather conditions. If it's windy you may not want to fly a drone.

Upon taking off my drone I was surprised to see how neatly Cheung Sha Wan Road split the surrounding area. I took advantage of its leading line and centered it in my frame.

Fly around, get high and low, and experiment with different perspectives — like a look down view capturing car traffic.

There is lots of local life about! A perfect place for lifestyle photography.
