Before the onset of the humid and hot season, Hong Kong usually turns humid around this time of the year. Sometimes, the relatively humidity is as high as 99%. When I took these photos, it was just 1 per cent lower.

The results of the foggy weather are low visibility like 50 metres ahead, swollen wooden doors which can't be closed and power point failure.

The extreme humidity veils the city behind a mystic haze. The buildings, the roads, the sky... everything is whitewashed to become one piece of white whatchamacallit. The saving grace is that this presents a unique photographic opportunity to the photographers. One of the best shooting locations is the Peak, especially on a windy day: you will see the mist/ haze/ fog roll together in one second and being blown away in another, giving the shooters a quick glimpse of the aerial view of the city.

Out of the four photos, three were given a -0.3 EV for the exposure. The thick fog freely dispersed the street illuminations, turning the scene a bit too bright to show the darkness at this nighttime. Also, attention should be paid to the AF, which can miss the focus because of the fog as you see in the last photo.
