I'm Tyson, an editor and journalist living and working in Hong Kong. I'm happiest when listening to Spoon, running mountain trails, or just hanging out with my beautiful wife and amazing kids. I'm by no means a professional photographer, but I'm most definitely an Instagram addict. Sometimes I stash cool shit here.

Walking in a landscape

I’m back in Hong Kong, which means I’ll be keeping my trusty iPhone4 at the ready. You see, I’m a bit of an Instagram addict (the first step is admitting you have a problem), and Hong Kong is pretty much Instagram gold.

This is a view of Kowloon (where Bruce Lee grew up), taken from my flat in North Point (which is on Hong Kong Island). It’s one of the clearest mornings I’ve seen in my short time here – and Victoria Harbour, the buildings, the mountains, and the clouds were all strikingly visible.

Of course, you don’t get the full impact from the pic above, which brings up another challenge for iPhone photographers (at least for me). My coolest shots are typically close ups, detailed subjects, and patterns. Capturing a massive landscape (or cityscape in this case) on a mobile device is not easy. But I follow a few IGers who do it really well.

I got some great feedback on my last post about lowlight photography. (And a couple snarky tweets suggesting I should try a different camera ;) .

I’d love to hear your tips and success stories on landscape iPhonography.

Shot in the dark

Nighttime pics are often problematic for me, because well, it’s dark outside, duh. But last night’s sky over Atlanta was bright enough to help capture this image.

Note: The stars were added later thanks to the stellar Picfx app.

It’s still not quite where I’d like it. I’d be curious to here from anyone with advice on better nighttime photography on an iPhone.

Right side of the tracks

I moved to Hong Kong this year, but my heart is still in Atlanta.

Departure


I’m becoming familiar with Hong Kong International Airport these days. It’s kinda perfect for iPhone photography.
