この前正月の香港遠征の投稿をしましたが、早速2月にも香港に行きましたので、レポートします(◍•ᴗ•◍)
👆レポートというかただの日記でしょ(´⊙ω⊙`;)!!
I have just posted about my new year Hong Kong visit, I went again soon in Feb, I’d like to report it. (◍•ᴗ•◍)
👆Its must not be a report but just a dairy. (´⊙ω⊙`)!!
行ったのは2月10日〜12日の三連休です( ꈍᴗꈍ)
The period when I stayed in Hong Kong was from 10th Feb to 12th Feb. ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
勘の良い方、香港にお詳しい方なら既にお分かりかもしれませんが、はい、旧正月の花火がメインです(*´ω｀*)
The readers who know Hong Kong well can easily find why I visited Hong Kong on this period, I believe.
Yes, the main target was the fireworks held on Chinese New Year. (*´ω｀*)
でも、いや？いつものことですが？、今回はミスを連発するなど、いろいろ恥ずかしいことがたくさんある遠征でした。。(｡ﾉω＼｡)
However, this time, no? as usual? I did many mistakes during this visit, this journey ended with lots of ashamed. (｡ﾉω＼｡)
・出発〜初日: Departure and the first day
・2日目: the second day
・最終日〜帰国: The last day and return to Japan
■出発〜初日: Departure and the first day
便は前回と同じく、1時40分羽田発のUO629です。
The flight to Hong Kong was UO629, same as the last time.
いつもと同じく、もちろん仕事の後会社から直で向かい、着替えてスーツ類はコインロッカーの作戦です(・∀・)
It also was same as usual, I planned to go to the airport directly from office, change clothes and put the things for work into the coin lockers. (・∀・)
なので、毎日チャリ5分の道をスーツケースを引っ張ります(｡ﾉω＼｡)
So I needed to walk the way on which I ride bicycle everyday with large suitcase. (｡ﾉω＼｡)
仕事は夕方までは概ね順調。
The works went well, not particular problems until evening.
22時前に東京周辺を出ればいいので秋葉原で予備の三脚を買おうかと思ってました、、
I can leave office before 22PM, so I planned to go to Akihabara to buy a tripod.
が、(｡ﾉω＼｡)
But (｡ﾉω＼｡)
帰り際、銀行から電話があり、会社から送信された指図がおかしいと(｡ﾉω＼｡)
Just when I was preparing for leave, our main bank called and said our some instructions have problem…(｡ﾉω＼｡)
担当者は既に退社、仕方ないから、可能な限り状況を確認して、緊急だけはないことと、分かった現状をメール、LINEWORKSしたら21時40分で、空港に向かわなきゃいけない時間(´；ω；｀)
The person in charge had already left, there was no choice for me to do as much things as possible, checking the status, finding no urgent matters and sending messages by LINEWORKS, thus I found it was 21:40, the time I need to leave office to the airport. (´；ω；｀)
遠征前なのに、自分が最終退室者、、、、、
It being on the before day to Hong Kong, but I forced to be the last person who left the office…
三脚は香港に着いてからだな(｡•́︿•̀｡)
Oh,,my,,need to try to buy a tripod after arriving at Hong Kong. (｡•́︿•̀｡)
※急いで会社を出て、空港に着いて、まずはコインロッカーを見たのですが、、、
※急いではいますが性格的にチェックイン開始時間に間に合わせたいだけなので、実際にはもう1時間くらいは余裕があるのはあります( ꈍᴗꈍ)
I ※rushed to the airport and go to the coin lockers first and found,,,
※This should be by my characters but I did rush to the airport but I wanted to arrive when the check in counter open. Actually, there were around one hour extra time. ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
が、何とコインロッカー満杯( ≧Д≦)
It was quite unfortunately,,, all coin lockers have already been occupied. ( ≧Д≦)
仕方なく、スーツや会社のカバン、靴は香港に持って行く羽目に(´；ω；｀)持って帰る模型が、、
There were no choices but I put all things for work into my suitcase. (´；ω；｀) The spaces for model planes got smaller…
失意の出国(｡ﾉω＼｡)
Disappointed left from Japan. (｡ﾉω＼｡)
フライトは非常口席をくれたおかげで、足元広々、かなり快適で、寝て起きたらに香港到着直前でした( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Thanks to that they gave me emergent seat, I could spend confirmable flight, I fell asleep soon and woke up just before landing to Hong Kong.( ꈍᴗꈍ)
香港に到着(◍•ᴗ•◍)
Just arrived at Hong Kong. (◍•ᴗ•◍)
今回も模型屋さんで引取があるのですが、会う前に日本で買えなかった三脚を買いに旺角(Mongkok) へ(｡•́︿•̀｡)
I planned to see the model planes shop staff but went to 旺角(Mongkok) first to buy a tripod. (｡•́︿•̀｡)
が、そう、
But,,,yes
香港では正月というか、元旦につき、大半のお店が閉まってました(´；ω；｀)
10th Feb was the Chinese new years day, almost all shops were closed or would open late. (´；ω；｀)
仕方なく、でも、何とか開いているお店を見つけて、激安三脚を購入、、、
Anyway, I could managed to find the opened shop, I could buy a cheap tripods…..on,,,
の帰り道に、後から開いた別のお店で、発見してしまいました、、、
,,,the return way from the shop, I found another shop which opened later, and found,,,
マシな三脚。(｡ﾉω＼｡)
Better tripods. (｡ﾉω＼｡)
まぁ、こんな画像があるということは、もちろん買ったのですが、完全にマジアホアホ(マン←世代じゃないです←重要)です(｡•́︿•̀｡)
As this photo indicating, of course, I bought it. It must have been completely foolish of me. (｡•́︿•̀｡)
まぁ、花火の写真がブレブレで全ボツよりは出費の方がマシでしょう(´ . .̫ . `)後悔はしたくないので←言い聞かせる
But I can say it must be better to pay money than to see the end taking many fireworks shots spoiled by blurs by taking cheap tripods. (´ . .̫ . `) I never wanted to regret←Excusing to myself
三脚の後は、模型屋さん(◍•ᴗ•◍)
After buying tripods, I directly went to the model shop. (◍•ᴗ•◍)
模型屋さんで引取、、、中に、
When I was checking those I asked them to keep, I suddenly found,,
発売を知らなかったこの模型を発見w(☆▽☆)
This model, which I did not know the release. (☆▽☆)
NGモデルがルフトハンザの747-8iのレトロを出した模様ヾ(*’Ｏ’*)/
NG models released the retro livery of Lufthansa 747-8i.ヾ(*’Ｏ’*)/
前にフェニックスから出ていたレトロはプレミアがついて、買えない金額で泣く泣く諦めたので、中身をチェックして、美品だったので、、、
Knowing the last release from other brand, Phoenix, I gave up buying because its price is now premium high. And found the quality of this brand was quite nice, so, of course,,,,
もちろん即買い(≧▽≦)
I bought it. (≧▽≦)
ちなみに誕生日でした( ꈍᴗꈍ)
↑もう嬉しくはないけどネ(｡ﾉω＼｡)
Anyway, this day was my birthday….( ꈍᴗꈍ)
↑No happiness was felt when I heard this word these days. ..( ꈍᴗꈍ)？
模型屋さんからは、店員さんにベストなバスを教えてもらい、前に泊まった青衣のランブラーオアシスへ
This time I stayed at Rambler Oasis again and shop staff taught me the best way to the hotel, I could reach to the hotel easily.
早く花火の撮影ポイントに行きたいので、若干焦り気味(>0<；)※
※勘の良い方は、何か変と気づきますかね(笑)？
But I really wanted to arrive at the point taking fireworks asap, I felt quite in hurry.(>0<；)※
※Some readers who know Hong Kong well can find something wrong.(・∀・;)
ホテルからバスの乗り継ぎで山の下に到着(~_~;)～とりあえず速歩きで山を登り〜〜( ≧Д≦)
途中の渋滞でバスがなかなか動かず更に焦る羽目になってました(｡ﾉω＼｡)
I managed to arrive at the foot of the mountain by some buses but I felt quite in hurry this time because one of them took long time due to the heavy traffic jams. (｡ﾉω＼｡)
～I climbed the mountain as fast as possible. 〜〜( ≧Д≦)
到着(｡ﾉω＼｡)ハァハァハァ
Now I’ve just arrived. (｡ﾉω＼｡) Badly exhausted,,,,
場所確保(≧▽≦)
I could get the position. (≧▽≦)
まだまだ時間し、天気もいいのであるので、いろいろ撮影していたら、
Having much time and thanks to the nice weather, I took lots of photos and found,,,
新しい構図を発見(≧▽≦)
A new angle. (≧▽≦)
日が沈むまで楽しむ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
I enjoyed this new angle after sunset. ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
時間はもう19時を過ぎて、もうすぐ花火のはずが、なんか、変なんです
It was already after 19:00PM, fireworks would start soon, but there were something wrong,,,,
って、あれ？人が集まらない(´ . .̫ . `)ナゼ？？
But,,,wait,,nobody comes..(´ . .̫ . `)Why？？
、、花火って、今日だよね？？
,,,Will fireworks be held today, won’t it. ???
心配になって、ネットで調べたら、、
I felt strange and checked in the internet,,,,and,,,
次の日だった( ≧Д≦)
Found the fireworks would be held on the next day.( ≧Д≦)
また明日も同じ山に来るのかよ(´；ω；｀)？
Will I need to climb same mountain again tomorrow…(´；ω；｀)？
文句言ってもしゃーない、また来なきゃだから、とりあえずやろうと思っていた周辺のポイント調査の撮り直しをやってから、下山することに決定(・ω・｀)=3
Of course, there were no choice but to come again on next day, no claims accepted by another me, so I decided to decent the mountain after going to nearby photographing points again and take sample night photos again, which I had decided, last time when I came here. (・ω・｀)=3
前回ご紹介した、⇩こちら⇩も、木の形が良いことに気づいたので、広めに再撮影(*´ω｀*)
As of ⇩ this angle ⇩ which I mentioned last time, I found the shapes of the trees are nice, I tried to take wider this time.(*´ω｀*)
この感じよくないですか(*´ω｀*)？
This angle is quite nice, isn’t it. (*´ω｀*)？
帰った頃にはホテル最寄りのコンビニは閉まっているはずなので、バスに乗る前に食糧を買い込んでホテルへ(◍•ᴗ•◍)
The convenience store must be closed when I arrive there, I bought lots of food before taking the bus. (◍•ᴗ•◍)
なぜかご飯ではなくて、フォークの画像しかなかった(＾∀＾;)
I don’t know why but I took not the foods but only the forks..(＾∀＾;)
■2日目: the second day
寝る前に、ターゲットさんが香港に向かってていて、出発が7時とのことでしたので、2時間くらいだけ寝て、6時に山ポイントの山道の入口に着けるように、5時にホテルを出ました(｡ﾉω＼｡)マジネム
Before I went to bed, I found a big target facing to Hong Kong and I would depart Hong Kong at 7:00AM,,,
I slept only 2 hours and left the hotel at 5:00AM to arrive at the mountain trail before 6:00AM. (｡ﾉω＼｡) So sleepy,,,
深夜バスはない又は乗り継ぎだろうと、最初からタクシー予定で、タクシーを探していたら、、、空港へ向かう深夜バスがバス停に着くのを発見！
I guessed there were no midnight buses or I need to change some buses, I tried to catch taxi but I happened to find a midnight bus going to the airport.!
もちろん、飛び乗りましたw(°ｏ°)w
Of course, I rushed into it. w(°ｏ°)w
このバスは空港へ直(トンチョン周辺は停まらない)みたいなので、ランタオ島のバス停で、乗り換えようと、降りて、次に来たバス、に飛び乗りる
This bus seems not to drop in on Tong Cheung area, so I tried to change the but at Lantau Island interchange stop and dived into the one which came next…
が、このバス、確かにトンチョンには着くのですが、先に空港に向かうようで、かなり時間がかかることが判明(‘◉⌓◉’)
↑昔よく乗っていたN11 はトンチョンが先だったので。みんな同じだと思ってました(｡•́︿•̀｡)
Buuut, I found it does stop Tong Cheung area but after airport areas, that must take long time…(‘◉⌓◉’)
↑IE11, which I usually took when I lives in Hong Kong stopping Toung Cheoun first, thought all EXX buses stop Tung Cheong run samel.(｡•́︿•̀｡)
空港に着いたのが、5時50分、速歩きで7時ギリギリの6時15分には山道の前にいたいので、、、
It arrived at the airport at 5:50AM, I wanted to be at the entrance of mountain trails at latest 6:15 AM,,
タクシー確定(｡•́︿•̀｡)
There were no choices but to take a taxi. (｡•́︿•̀｡)
てか、近場の青タクシー(空港周辺は青)いないし(｡ﾉω＼｡)
But no blue taxies for short ride (Airport area, exactly on Lantau Island, is blue)seem to come
5分くらいしたらようやく来ました(・∀・)
Around 5 minutes later one finally came. (・∀・)
こ
んなわけで、初めて青タクシーに乗車(｡ﾉω＼｡)
Thus, it was my first time to take blue taxi in my life. (｡ﾉω＼｡)
食糧水分買って、6時14分には山道の入口に到着(｡ﾉω＼｡)
After buying waters and foods I could reach the entrance of the trail at 6:14AM
ギリギリなので、速歩きで頑張ります(｡•́︿•̀｡)
There was almost no extra time I tried to walk as fast as possible. (｡•́︿•̀｡)
朝日は綺麗でした☆
(歩きながら撮影)
The sunrise was beautiful. ☆
(Taking it with walking)
何とか7時前に山ポイントに到着！(´⊙ω⊙`)！
I could manage to arrive at the mountain point before 7:00AM. (´⊙ω⊙`)！
快晴で視程のよい最高の環境で撮影しながら、待ちます(・∀・)
It was quite clear and the visibilities were also nice, I waited with enjoying spotting. (・∀・)
ターゲットさんを(・∀・;;)
For the target…(・∀・;;)
でも、なかなか動きもなく、(´ . .̫ . `)
But it seemed not to move only a a bit
また花火を撮りに山に行くので、11時には出たいのですが(｡•́︿•̀｡)
I needed to leave the point before 11:00AM for taking fireworks…(｡•́︿•̀｡)
10時半過ぎに、空港の時刻表を見たら( ≧Д≦)
Around 10:30, I saw the airport timetable and found,,
更新されて20時40分に、なってました(´；ω；｀)
I found target’s schedule updated for 20:40 departure. (´；ω；｀)
↑この前の飛来や、この後の飛来はちゃんと午前中に出発していたので、相性悪いことこの上なし(╥﹏╥)
↑Its flights before and after this day, and most of them I saw after I came back to Japan, it departs in the morning, this case seems to be only this time or a few times…(╥﹏╥)
もう待つ必要ないので、フライトレーダーで見えていた未撮影の飛行機を撮影して10時50分に山ポイントから、ダッシュで戻ります(｡ﾉω＼｡)
There were no meanings to stay there except to take one airplane which could be seen then, I took it at 10:50 and rushed to back to the hotel.(｡ﾉω＼｡)
前日の失敗から、極力鉄路を選択予定。(´ . .̫ . `)
Considering the traffic jams on the day before, I tried to take the way mostly by MTR.
ホテルから駅に向かうミニバスを待つも、全然来ないから、
But the minibuses from the hotel to the station seemed not to come, many people wanted for long time
仕方なく他のバスで、途中駅まで行き、そこから鉄路(｡ﾉω＼｡)
I had no way except the one to take buses to other MTR stations. (｡ﾉω＼｡)
とりあえず、麓に到着(｡ﾉω＼｡)
Anyway, I managed to reach to the foot of the mountain. (｡ﾉω＼｡)
2日連続!!←強調(笑)
2 days in a row!!← Emphasizing
へとへとですが、歩きます( ≧Д≦)
I had already got exhausted but tried to walk as fast as possible…( ≧Д≦)
到着(｡ﾉω＼｡)ハァハァハァ
Now arrived.(｡ﾉω＼｡)No power rest,,,,
とりあえずベストな撮影場所、、まぁ、前の日とおなじですが、は確保(*´ω｀*)
Anyway l got released to get the best position the same place the day before. (*´ω｀*)
さて、夜景のセットアップを始めるのですが、予期せぬ、、いや、ある意味予期していた？していた事件が発生(´；ω；｀)
But,,, however but, when I started to set up the tripods, , unexpected problem,,,,no, expected? problem occurred. (´；ω；｀)
やはり、予備機用に買った安物三脚、何故かよく揺れる( ≧Д≦)
I did not know the reason but the tripods I bought this time somehow can’t be fixed and moves easily and frequently …( ≧Д≦)
結局、前回のカウントダウンの際の壊れた三脚と同様に、三脚としては使わず、支えとして使用( ≧Д≦)でも、向きを固定するのが異常に難しい、、、
So,,,,same as the broken tripods at the last time, countdown fireworks, I used it not as a tripods but a kind of the thing which keeps the camera fixed. ( ≧Д≦) But I was quite difficult to adjust the angles..
とりあえず【年末年始に続きまた】約45分の格闘ののち、セッティングは完了したので、あとは待つのみ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Anyway, I was forced to struggle to fix the camera and the tripods for around 45 minutes 【again same as new year fireworks】, this, the setting up completed, I can wait for the fireworks starting at ease. ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
天気良すぎなので、2日連続で日没を撮影( ꈍᴗꈍ)
I was so nice and clear day that I took the sunset 2 days in a row. ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
だんだん人も増える(゜o゜;
More and more people came. (゜o゜;
いよいよ花火(ﾟοﾟ人))
The fireworks would start soon. (ﾟοﾟ人))
最初の花火がやや明るい感じがしたので、すぐにやや暗めに変更、23分間レリーズ押しっぱなし(｡ﾉω＼｡)バッテリー大丈夫かなぁ、、、
First some fireworks seemed to be taken so bright that I adjusted the setting darker and kept the releases on for 23 minutes. (｡ﾉω＼｡) Badly being worried about the batteries….
20時23分花火終了(◍•ᴗ•◍)
The fireworks ended 20:23 (◍•ᴗ•◍)
信じてもらえないかもしれませんが、本当の本当にですが、2台目のカメラのバッテリー、花火終了と同時になくなりました(ﾟοﾟ人))ホントです
I believe no readers can believe it, but the battery of the second camera ran out at the just time when the fireworks ended. (ﾟοﾟ人)) This sure is the real.
そしてw(°ｏ°)w
And w(°ｏ°)w
たった数分間ですが、花火の煙が残っていて、幻想的だったので、煙が無くなるまで撮影しました(*´ω｀*)b
It could be seen only a few minutes, but the rested fireworks smokes made mythical views, I stayed and took then until the smokes disappeared. (*´ω｀*)b
バッテリーがないので、ピントやブレのチェックはこの時点ではまだですが、とにかく大満足で下山開始( ꈍᴗꈍ)
The batteries almost ran out. I could not check the focus and blurs but I got quite satisfied and started to decent the mountain. ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
ご褒美にコンビニで大量買い込んでホテルに戻りました( ꈍᴗꈍ)
For the small rewards to me, I bought lots of foods and went back to the hotel. ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
■最終日〜帰国: The last day and return to Japan
最終日は、
In the last day
・疲れて足動かない
I was so tired that I can’t walk any more.
・バッテリーほとんどない
There was almost no battery rest
・買い物してない
I hadn’t gone shopping.
なので、ホテルでまったりからのチェクアウト後、買い物をしながら空港へ(◍•ᴗ•◍)
So I decided to stay hotel for rest and check out late l, and to go to the airport with shopping. (◍•ᴗ•◍)
↑美味しそうだけど、さすがに買えなかった(｡ﾉω＼｡)
They must be delicious, but I couldn’t buy….
空港でも少しだけお買い物(・∀・)
空港のおもちゃ屋さんで、、、
I also bought some souvenirs at the airport. (・∀・)
At the toy shop,,,,
↑分かる人には分かる？こんなミニカーを発見(・∀・)
Some readers may get quite interested in this?
I found these model cars. (・∀・)
、、、もちろんお買い上げ(・∀・;)
(一気に財布がピンチに←小声)
、、、、Of course, I bought them.
(This cause my wallet bankruptcy (small voice))
そして、離港(｡ﾉω＼｡)I’ll be back soon….
And left Hong Kong. (｡ﾉω＼｡)I7ll be back soon,,,
いつものようにミッドフィールドコンコースでまったりです。
Same as usual, I stayed at ease in the midfield concourse.
まだまだ時間はありますが、バッテリーほとんどないし、自分の便のゲート付近からは撮りたい構図は難しいので、あまりフライトレーダーを見ないで、のんびりしていたら、、、
There were enough time but due to the batteries almost out, and the angles from my gate were not good, I rarely checked the Flightradar…
そしたら、事件発生(´；ω；｀)
This caused serious accident..(´；ω；｀)
最強のシャッターチャンスに気づきました
I found veeeery rare shutter chance.
もちろん終わった後に(╥﹏╥)
If course, after it ended..(╥﹏╥)
↑逃したのは、カンタスのA380を順光・管制塔バックでの撮影です(´；ω；｀)
The chance I lost was that taking Qantas A380 with control towers back and following light. (´；ω；｀)
今思えば、便まで時間があるから、一番いい構図のゲートのベンチでのんびり撮影するのが一番だと、理解しました(｡•́︿•̀｡)
↑遅いよ( ≧Д≦)
Now I can say the best way waiting flight is staying the best position not my flight gate until starting boarding. (｡•́︿•̀｡)
↑Too late( ≧Д≦)
ちなみに、肝心のフライトは、機体が台北からの便の機材だったようで、遅延につき、こちらも約1時間遅れで出発(｡•́︿•̀｡)
Anyway, my flight delayed one hour due to the delay arrival of the airplane from Taipei. (｡•́︿•̀｡)
元々定刻着で30分しか時間がないお家への終電はこの時点でジ・エンド(｡ﾉω＼｡)
So,,,,even before departing Hong Kong, I can know I couldn’t take the last train to my home, because there were only 30 minutes after the arrival on time. (｡ﾉω＼｡)
とにかく、いろいろ後悔しながら、羽田に到着((｡ﾉω＼｡)
Anyway then, I arrived at Haneda airport with lots of regret. (((｡ﾉω＼｡)
当然空港内で夜を明かします(((｡ﾉω＼｡)
Of course, I needed to stay while night in the terminal..(((｡ﾉω＼｡)
幸いベンチが取れました(◍•ᴗ•◍)
But, fortunately, I could get the bench. (◍•ᴗ•◍)
シャワールームでサッパリして、スーツに着替えて、会社です(｡ﾉω＼｡)
★なお、今回羽田空港のシャワールームが24時間営業になっていることに気づきました(≧▽≦)★
I left the airport to my office after shower and changing the clothes to suits at the shower room. (｡ﾉω＼｡)
★Anyway then, the shower room at Haneda airport changed theirs opening to 24 hours. (≧▽≦)★
ベンチをゲットできたとはいえ、一日中マジ眠かったっす(｡ﾉω＼｡)
、、、ベンチがなかったら即死だったよ(｡ﾉω＼｡)
Even having got a bench, I felt quite sleepy whole day..(｡ﾉω＼｡)
…Maybe I got instant death if I couldn’t get any benches. ( ≧Д≦)
仕事の後、鎌ケ谷まで着いてから、スーツケースを19分引っ張って歩いて帰宅、2月の遠征終了です(｡ﾉω＼｡)
Anyway, I could end this journey after 19 minutes’ walk from home station after work. (｡ﾉω＼｡)
今回は失敗が多数あったので、次回は繰り返さないようにしないとですね(；；)
Making list of mistakes this time, I must need to improve myself not to repeat them on next time…（；；)
