Hong Kong Coliseum Pano
I’ve received a request from the Hong Kong Museum of History for a photo I took of the Hong Kong Coliseum in 2013. I’m so thrilled for the opportunity — of course I said yes! Thank you, you’ve made by day! 🔥
Description from 2013
This is a panoramic view of the Hong Kong Coliseum (香港體育館), photographed recently when I went to attend a lecture but could not hear a thing because the sound projection at the “mountain top” was dismal at best. So as usual, I took the opportunity to do photography instead.
The coliseum is better known amongst the public as the Hung Hom Coliseum (紅磡體育館, 紅館). Although it was built for sports originally, it was mostly used for pop music concerts and other large performance events which need to house a large amount of audience. Opened in 1983, it seats 12,500 people and is the second largest indoor facility in Hong Kong, only behind the AsiaWorld-Arena opened in 2005.
The seats to the top of the audience stage is intimately known as the 山頂 (mountain top) mostly because it was so far away from the stage. But as you can see, it offers a fantastic view for panoramic photography.
Stitched using 10 full res RAW captures with the 6D + 17-40 f/4L. Processed using Autopano Giga 3.
