Just revisited one of the photos from my HK trip last year. First time in a while, travelling with the 8-16 Sigma - pretty happy with the feel you can get with it

Enjoy!

Beautiful! Would love to see more pics from this trip.

Thanks Jake!
I've been a few times - I have relatives over there. Is there anything in particular that piques your interest? This last trip was more of a visit with the folks, so didn't get out much to do much shooting, other than this one day.
FWIW, here are most of the shots from that last trip: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dragonspeed/albums/72157683719109156

Thanks for sharing. I wish I had your skills - my phone photos of our trips to Taipei don't compare. I'm always fascinated by local wildlife and geography - and of course anything fishing related - when on our travels. I really like the pictures of the mantis shrimp and the caterpillar. And the mudskipper! So cool! I tried to get good pics of the snakeheads I saw in Taiwan, but you can't hardly even see them. Your wildlife pics are impressive! I haven't been to Hong Kong since 2002, and I don't remember a skyline like that!

The mantis shrimp - I only ever knew their Cantonese name. Delicious guys! Like a little lobster tail :D
The mudskipper shots are a consolation prize. I went out to the wetlands park to see if I could find some interesting birds, but it was pretty quiet that day. Tide was down, though, so I got the bonus of the mudskippers :)
When I went in 2011, I was able to get out to the WWF wetlands, Mai Po, and saw some cool "local" birds on a walking tour. https://www.flickr.com/photos/dragonspeed/albums/72157628066587959
Despite being such a densely populate island, the outlying areas have quite a bit of wildlife. I'm still trying to arrange to get out fishing with some of the locals one of these times.
