| TimeLapse Typhoon "Nangka" over Hong Kong |
|
Watch in HD! This is a timelapse from 7am until 9pm of Typhoon Nangka hitting Hong Kong. Check out the rain walls at 0:50, 1:10, 1:45, 4:10, lights going up at 4:30. Its interesting how the clouds change direction while the typhoon moves from the south to the north-east (camera looking north). Music Artist: Dax Johnson Song: Greysen - Slow Beginning This was recorded with a Canon 50D and a 17-55mm 2.8 lens. I switched off the Autofocus, Image stabilizer, set the ISO to fix 100 and left the aperture/exposure to automatic. Also a black cloth was taped to the window and hung over the camera to avoid reflections in the window from the lights in the room. The Camera was connected to the PC with a USB Cable and to power with a AC-Cable. The Canon software was steering the camera to take 1 image every 10 sec. It took almost 5000 images with 1MB per image (=5GB of Data). One issue was that the vibrations from the exposure de-focussed the image over time. More info about this typhoon: en.wikipedia.org

| Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport (1925 - 1998) 香港啟德機場 |
|
First of all, this is a collection from YouTube. I would like to thank all the enthusiasts from YouTube especially Mr. Boyd Kelly (airboyd of YouTube) which I used their best fragments to make this special Kai Tak video. Background music is from "633 Squadron" by Mr. Ron Goodwin. Kai Tak Airport VHHH (1925 - 1998) VHHX (since 1998) "traditional Chinese: 啟德機場" was the world's busiest international airport. The growth of Hong Kong put a strain on the airport's capacity. The airport was designed to handle 24 million passengers per year but in 1996, Kai Tak had already handled 29.5 million passengers, plus 1.56 million tonnes of freight, making it the third busiest airport in the world in terms of passenger traffic, and first in terms of cargo. However extremely busy Kai Tak was located in the city center, the Kowloon City "九龍城" (The city of nine dragons "city surrounded by nine mountains"), around by high density buildings, numerous skyscrapers and rugged mountains reaching an altitude of 2000 ft. with single narrow runway (13/31) very close to taxiway jutting out into Victoria Harbour, and further less than 10 Km is Hong Kong Island, another densely populated area with hills up to 2100 ft. The only way approach to Runway 13 was a sharp 47-degree right turn before and of the same level with the checkerboard (a small hill painted with red and white checkerboard at 1:18) at about 100-meter altitude then align with the runway. Often with strong crosswinds, the airport ...

| Cage People - Hong Kong |
|
Oct 1995 Near the upmarket Kowloon shopping district is a hell hole for the broken dreams of Hong Kong. A man crouches in a tiny wire cage hardly bigger than a child's cot. It's been his home for 30 years. He is one of Hong Kong's hidden poor - a worker that nobody wants. Soaring rents and unemployment have forced an increasing number of people below the poverty line. While the rich business elite of Hong Kong line their pockets, state-welfare is still a dirty word. Despite the government's budget surplus there is no minimum wage or unemployment benefit. Meanwhile inflation, together with cheap Chinese workers, threatens to force more and more people out of work. Waiting lists for housing can be seven years and suicide rates are high. Dignity is an important concept for the Chinese and many regard a caged existence as hardly worth living. Produced by ABC Australia Distributed by Journeyman Pictures
