This is one of my favorite pictures that I’ve ever taken!  I was so happy to get it just in the nick of time before the haze rolled in.

My friend Amanda and I were in Hong Kong last weekend and I made her sit there patiently while I took all my pictures.  This included getting up at 5am and taking a taxi up to Hong Kong’s Victoria Peak for this shot.  It’s a long exposure shot that captures motion in the harbour while letting in just a hint of the pink morning light.

So, here it is, Sunrise over Hong Kong.

For the photographers: This was f11, ISO 100, and a 15 second shutter.  I rented a 16-35mm lens for the trip and got my money’s worth out of it 🙂
