Field tips
You’re standing in a road so be careful when photographing.
By using a wide-angle lens (24mm) you’ll be able to maximize the capture of the surrounding buildings and other subjects in your frame.
Try capturing a red taxi — it’s one of the signature symbols of Hong Kong.
Be patient and wait for the right moment to present itself!
