Wow that is actually stunning....

just a question, now i love trying to take pictures like these (trying and not succeeding), what sort of setting do you need in order that it doesnt come out all shaky? or do you just need a tripod/sturdy surface? I use mostly a samsung digital camera for my photos

Thank you!!

You have to options:

1) you don't use a tripod but you puch you ISO instead. Your picture will have more noise. Nevertheless, it's not that much of a problem anymore: pictures in low light environnement are much much better now with modern cameras. The good thing is you're much more flexible and you can move really easily.

2) You use your tripod and get set the lowest ISO you can >> no noise, (slightly?) better quality. This also allows you to play with moving lights, etc. This also allows you to pleay with the F / depth of field.

What I did there was actually a bit in between as I didn't have my tripod if I remember well: I could use a small wall to put my camera on and hold it without moving for 1 sec..!

Here is a nice article to read: [link]

Nice shot, contrasting urban with nature, light vs. dark, and natural and artificial lighting. Great perspective and depth of field. Nice focus on clarity and stabilization...good shot of the HK skyline.

Not the most creative picture ever ;) but I'm happy I was able to share the ambiance, especially with the lights and the moon!

your work is so amazing, i;ve been trying to a while to get shots like this but i am really bad at photography haha, so realised from this shot to change my iso to 1600

Actually you can get rid of the tripod for most shots by playing with the ISO: the render is much better than a few years ago. You can even go up to 3200/6400 with an outstanding result depending on the camera you have.

I'm glad you like it :)
