HONG KONG - A Photographer's Playground | HK VLOG

Good morning, I'm back in Hong Kong after last night coming back from Macau and I've already met up straight away with Mr Diego Damn right, what's up yo? We're going around all day today to try and find some good photo spots and some of you might recognise the first place we've come to There is... I'll get this way first There is this basketball court in front of these buildings and I'll show you why For people wanting to know, where is this? This is Choy Hung State Choy Hung State? Choy Hung State, yeah And that's the metro stop? No, that's the name of this place The metro stop is called Choy Hung on the Green Line Pretty easy to get here So it's kind of funny, there's three basketball courts here and one person playing basketball while the rest are all taking photos Used to be a player Yeah, back in the days, in the 70s All in all, successful first stop Where to next, Diego? I have no f***ing idea Let's make that happen We just jumped off the station at Quarry Bay Station and we're heading to our next little photo spot before we then walk on down to Central We're in Hong Kong Island right now Where I was before was Kowloon but this is what they call Hong Kong Island and I think this walk's going to be about an hour but I've been told there's loads of really cool things to see Just got to the next spot Some of you guys may recognise that We just got a few shots here and I've also got a shot for a 360 video I'm making and I'm going to be releasing that soon in the next couple of weeks I've been taking around let's see if it's in my pocket this 360 camera, the Ricoh Theta for the last few months getting a cool shot of every iconic place and I should be putting that out next week so I think this is going to be the last shot for that video One thing we've just found out is can you see there's a wrong way, how do I do this? like that there's a big shadow like that going right across the buildings and a lot of the photos you see here don't include that but that's because people get here either early in the morning or just before sunset so if you're ever thinking about coming to Hong Kong you need to get to this spot if you want to take photos of it in those times I just said right, change of plan we were going to walk all the way to Central from here but we just realised we're actually really far so I'm going to jump back on the Metro MTR and head, and then go and find some food there and now we're in Central we just jumped off at the Central stop and as you can see it's a lot busier oh yeah, just wait until it becomes night time you are going to be surprised so we've just come here to be around this area anyway but also to find some food somewhere so these are the sort of prices here we just stopped off we've got brisket rice curry sliced chicken rice it's about $10 to the pound yeah that's usually the normal price here in Hong Kong it's like 4 or 5 bucks per meal so that's practically $4 or $5 which isn't too bad and that was very quick, but it'll weigh around amazing, beef brisket, rice couldn't ask for any more what's the verdict? really good same for mine, I got beef brisket and that was some spicy chicken but both, proper good we've now just walked over to Man Mo Temple which is right behind me here and you can see the way it's set that looks old that looks new so right behind it you've got the high rises can you look across? we're going to head in there now see the contrast? like old and new let's see something funny this is the entrance to the temple this is the entrance to the gift shop so first I make a donation and then gets to this no, the bell the bell right there and then the you hit the bell first and then now they're gone ok, Hong Kong is also a very good place to get electronics and to get them cheaply so I've just bought a new phone literally just came here bought a new phone and this is what it looks like vlogging on it I'm vlogging right now I just bought the phone not sure how this looks this is the Samsung C9 so this is the phone and it's a Samsung C9 which is basically almost the same as an S8 but it just cost me £200 which is crazy cheap for any techie people it's got like 4GB RAM 64GB internal memory an octa-core something snapdragon processor, it's good basically it's got a nice big screen so I can edit loads of photos and it's really cheap way cheaper here than it is anywhere else I think but also one other thing I'm going to sign out the vlog now but first Diego I've been wearing this shirt all day and Diego is about to drop a clothing company that's right man, excited so this is like his new project and he's going to be talking about it on his channel too so go check it out, there's loads more clothing like this that I'll probably be wearing as well but go have a look, see what you think can you put it in the description for them? I can't, it'll be down there go to the link and you can find this shirt and many others we're about to go out now I'm heading to, what's it called? Lan Kwai Fong for a few drinks but I'm not going to take this camera out because that's dangerous or it's dangerous for me because I'll lose it, oh yeah, I'll break it for sure I'm going to head back to Bucharest tomorrow see you there, right now, thank you for watching and this is my life
