lights, camera...

So I mentioned Hong Kong's light show earlier, but never posted any photos. That is because when I was uploading photos, my computer had an allergic reaction to that particular portion of the memory card and skipped them entirely. However, a few nights ago, Jess headed out to the pier again to try his luck at capturing the light show - it's hard to describe, and a picture doesn't really do it justice, but the lights move pretty fast from building to building, all choreographed to a song that Walt Disney would've been proud of. It's a tad cheesy, but still sort of addictive when you're watching it. And luckily, these photos seemed to be allergen free.

Even though it has been raining off and on all week, as fate would have it, the light show was during a relatively dry portion of the night. Jess set up camp with an umbrella to protect his baby and shot away at the shoreline. These pictures actually turned out better than the first batch in my opinion - they're clearer (the rain does a good job at wiping the smog out) and I like how you can see the rough water reflected in the photos as well. And if you look close, you can see the low lying clouds.

Oh, also on the first night, half of our show was wiped out by a departing cruise ship. What good timing, right? There seems to be an influx of ships and boats during the show. But let's be honest, it'd be pretty sweet to be on one of those boats.
