We decided to head over to Lamma Island for a day to escape the busy city. Lamma Island is located about 20 minutes away from Hong Kong Island by ferry. Once we reached the island, the different pace of lifestyle was immediately apparent. The ferry brought us to the northern end of the island, Yung Shue Yan. The village mostly comprised of of various shops, seafood restaurants, and tenement homes. The island was relaxing and quaint, with a Mediterranean feel to it. However, a large electrical plant loomed in the horizon and was a huge eyesore to the natural scenery of the island. We walked along the trail that connected the Yung Shue Yan to Sok Kwu Wan, located on the eastern end of the island.
Once we arrived at a beach, I had a chance to use my B+W adjustable neutral density filter that I purchased in Hong Kong. It’s a cheap knockoff brand, which probably explained the issues I had with banding, flares, and sharpness, but I managed to get a few good shots.
