Hi,
When you live in a place like Hong Kong, where the majority of the population live in apartment buildings, you learn to appreciate heights.
I like looking down on things; not because I feel as though I am kind of feudal lord monitoring the peasants, but more because you can understand more about the remarkable topography of a place. And also, it’s reminds me how small we really are.
There is, of course, something mildly voyeuristic about aerial shots (or God’s eyes), and so, whenever I am drawn to a scene and have a camera to hand, I am mindful of not intruding on someone’s privacy — images of windows are fine, but not looking through them. There’s a BIG difference.
Anyway, here are some snaps that I took with my recently fixed, but ancient camera that boasts an incredible x65 optical zoom.







I like the Tai Chi shot, everyone looks miniature ~ like the last one, too. 📸 The football photos are great as well. I guess the common theme here is people, I like seeing these perspectives.
You're reminding me of a time when I took so many more photos! Le sigh. Time to get inspired, thanks, Sarah!
Interesting perspectives, Sarah. I am a bit afraid of living high places. But it must be nearly inevitable to live such a circumstance in Hong Kong. What floor do you live?
