During my spotting trip to HKG taking a photo of KE A380 was the most desired and challenging goal as it comes only at night. Especially for this I booked Regal hotel that has direct view to the ramp. 3 days in row I was unlucky as A380 was towed to another position and was not fully visible during startup. However this time it was delayed for about 2 hours and at 2.20am it was pushed to a "correct" point making this picture possible. I can tell for sure this is the most valuable trophy I got from HKG.
