Container Port Rd S view of Stonecutters Bridge
@irwinsychan
The shipping industry in Hong Kong has always been a pivotal part of the city's development and regarded as one of the major shipping ports in Asia. The flow of container ships in and out of the port is a unique scene of its own, sliding underneath the marvel of infrastructure that connects the every end of the city.

Tips

All months
Best time
Sunrise, Morning
All months of the year are suitable to photograph under the Stonecutters bridge. Although for a moody effect, February to April are usually overcast with some thick fog. October to January are usually clear and dry, perfect for clean colours and views of the sea and port.
In general, the best lighting for photography is when it is soft and low over the horizon, creating clean shadows that cast over the scene. The advantage of going in the morning is it will most likely be quiet and local fishermen will be interesting subjects to frame in your photos.
Field tips
By using a wide-angle lens (24mm) you’ll be able to incorporate more of the bridge and body of water.
Walk along the waterfront to see what other angles you could achieve of the Stonecutters Bridge.
Think about the leading lines coming from the bridge and how it can compliment your composition.
Be patient and wait for the right boat(s) to sail across your frame. It adds a nice element to the image!
