While I was exploring Wan Chai wet market, I thought about what factors make this market unique and special. During the day time it was for me to point out. However, as the sunset and the night came, the LED light bulbs from each market triggered the ‘buzzing’ atmosphere. As shown in the picture above, there is countless light bulbs and very strong fluorescent lights at the top  in just one market. The intense amount of light produced in each market add up the vibrant ambiance. Through this one focus shot it is hard to see the whole atmosphere of Wan Chai market, but it clearly shows a unique characteristic of the market.

    It is great to see that you have explored a wide range of colors in your photos. Some are successfully in emphasizing the message, like the First Person View with the red hue, but sometimes colors become a bit distracting when you have too many things in the frame. You can start by deciding the message you want to convey in your photo, then be selective of what to include. The Seriality Shot, although not really a series, has potential to emphasize the divide between the vernacular and skyscraper.
