The shots were taken around midnight at a high point with the GX200 mounted on a tripod and with the 16mm converter while I held the star filter in front of the lens. Handholding filters in front of lenses is a makeshift way to use the unfitting filters for the lenses on hand. A tripod is usually needed. The other day when I took part in the June Fourth vigil, I met a photographer doing the same to his medium-format camera mounted on a tripod.
Hong Kong aglow with the motley colour of lights at night is always fascinating. But with the kick-off of the 2010 FIFA World Cup tonight, most will prefer to be fascinated by the 22 people running around a round toy on the field.
Ole ole ole!
