This is excellent, simply excellent. How did you do this?
Bahi P (69 months ago | reply)
Woo-hoo! Excellent :) Last time I was in HK, I stayed near this place. This nails it perfectly.

@Samuel - Using a good tripod was an absolute must to make this shot work. It allowed me to use a slower shutter speed and still get some good detail and exposure. (Also, I took ALOT of photos to get just a couple of 'keepers'!)

wow I love this shot!!
How fast was that bus going though, to get that much blur at 4/5th of a second! 200mph bus!
But seriously, love this shot - added to my faves, it deserves to be in a book

I'm impressed that you got this with as short as 0.8s, your timing is impeccable!
I also enjoy how crisp everything is, even the peds on the other side of the bus, when viewed large.

Great city shot! Nice lights and of course great action. It looks like the bus passed about 6 inches from her nose!
