On the Star Ferry

there is a 10 minutes’ break between two ferries, just enough time for a nap …

The gate (see left) was kept closed because the boat had not yet arrived and I had to find a way to get camera with tripod through it. To compose the image, the camera was just arranged “level” 30cm high on the ramp. — Extreme lighting conditions make zone plate photography a challenge. Highlights easily get blown out and show a halo-effect, while darker

areas appear sharp and a little under-exposed.
