The Jardine Noonday Gun

The Noonday Gun is a former naval artillery piece mounted on a small enclosed site near the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. Owned and operated by Jardine Matheson, the gun is fired every day at noon and has become a tourist attraction.

I really like the depth and selected clarity in this image. Excellent POV and DOF in this bright and vibrant shot. What a neat tradition and no doubt that everyone knows exactly when noon is. Beautifully shot and composed Hamery. Voted+

engaging POV...the big gun's barrel looks menacing from here..

Superb image Hamery, very nice isolation of the gun from the background, excellent details and composition. I hope they are firing blancs or it would not be fun in the building across! BV

Wonderfully isolated your main object which I don't know what is - never mind, it looks beautiful!

I'm not actually sure what this is, but an excellent POV and DOF in any case. V.

Love your viewpoint here. Mysterious object. I'm thinking on a watercanon from a fireboat!
