Taking photos

 

Photos are always needed whatever the final outcome is just a book. I have started the photo shooting process on the 2 March afternoon. I started to taking photos on one side of King's Road (standing on the even number side and taking the photo of odd number side) at the start of the road in Tin Hau (near Victoria Park and Queen's College).

I tried to take the photos in the afternoon as it is the real busy time of King's Road. The number of people and vehicles can present the real image of the road. But, it is sure that this decision is not good for shooting as those people and vehicles are being the obstacles while shooting a clear image of a road. It is because all of ting is not-be-controlled. However, I still love to this as it is full of difficulties. Much more time is needed as the wait of no cars blocking the view. I believed that shooting in the afternoon is better than shooting in morning as the road is more active with people. Shooting in morning is good for the fewer obstacles due to the non-rushing hour but it may totally different. The walking people and the car moving on the road is always the part of the road which leads the road to be in a “active mode”.

For the first day, I spent 2 hours for taking just a part of the road from Tin Hau to Fortress Hill as the lost of normal day light in the evening. A draft merged photo in a collage is made for trial.
