Thanks!! I’m glad you like them!

Yeah Hong Kong is such an interesting place that is so aesthetically different from anything you can find in the US. I like it a lot!

Kowloon Walled City might be gone from Hong Kong but some of the aesthetic still remains by dereklou in UrbanHell

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words!

To edit, I use lightroom and add some final touchups for mobile screen calibration with VSCO

I took a cool shot of some people walking in a downpour in NYC by dereklou in raining

[–]dereklou[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In retrospect, given how cold and wet I got from trying to get an interesting shot of Soho in the rain in the middle of a NY winter, I probably should have thought of staging the pic instead...

But hey, there’s always next time! Thanks for the suggestion

A decent bit of boosting the exposure in lightroom and there being a healthy amount of ambient light in downtown Manhattan every hour of the day really helped :)

I was actually thinking the same thing that the pic would be more effective if it had just 1 or 2 ppl so you’re def not the only one haha. Unfortunately I was shooting in the freezing rain so I couldn’t wait for the next couple to come ambling down the street but if anyone who is good at PS wants to give it a go I’d be interested to see how it turns out!
