Hong Kong Oddities｜How to Capture Airplanes at the Iconic Monster Building?

This newly popular "attraction" is actually just a residential complex. This post focuses on photography tips, while the next one will cover how to get there and explore the surrounding area. 1⃣️ The so-called photo spot is the courtyard below the building. 2⃣️ There are actually two courtyards, which look almost identical. You can check out both. 3⃣️ If you want to take portraits, crouch down and stand further back, shooting upwards at an angle. However, even with this technique, it's difficult to capture a good angle. 4⃣️ The standard shot is taken from the center, looking vertically upwards, capturing the strip of sky surrounded by the buildings on all four sides. 5⃣️ Here's the key takeaway: I've seen those photos with airplanes in the middle of the sky. I waited for a long time and even checked flight paths. The conclusion? No planes actually fly over this area. Those photos are all photoshopped!
