Bring a compact tripod
Sidewalks can be tight but a sturdy, portable tripod is essential for long-exposure night shots.
Carry spare batteries and cards
High-ISO shooting and long exposures drain power—pack at least one spare battery and extra memory.
Use public transport to move between spots
Start and end at the Star Ferry/Clock Tower—MTR and ferries are the fastest way to hop neighborhoods and avoid parking hassles.
Watch for traffic and pedestrians
Busy sidewalks and trams make composition dynamic but require constant situational awareness—mind your tripod and cables.
Interchangeable-lens camera (DSLR or mirrorless)
Manual controls and good high-ISO performance are crucial for night photography.
Compact, sturdy tripod
Enables long exposures, light painting and stable framing in crowded streets.
Spare batteries and SD cards
Cold or long shooting sessions consume power and storage quickly.
Light rain jacket or umbrella
