This photo was taken from a hotel room in Hong Kong… and yes, I take pictures from the window of almost every hotel room I stay in. In this shot, I like the contrast of the 1920’s architecture of the Peninsula Hotel in the foreground with the modern skyscrapers across the harbor.

Taken with a Canon PowerShot G12. f/3.2 at 1/500 sec. ISO 800.

Below you can see a shot of the same scene at night. The views in Hong Kong never disappoint.

Taken with a Canon PowerShot G12. f/3.5 at 1/6 sec. ISO 1600. It's a little blurry, but not too bad for that shutter speed without a tripod.
