Photographic Scenery Shanghai

17POSTS

14 years ago

Hi everyone

Walking through the city today I realized that Shanghai offers some spectacular opportunities (especially by night) for all those who are into photography.

So I had the idea to find some other interested people, meet one Sat/Sun afternoon and spend the rest of the day/evening hunting for sceneries. Now it's simply too cold, so I would suggest to wait for a warmer day with good view and nice weather (maybe around end of March).

Ideally we would be 3-4 people, so we can take a taxi A to B.
I am not a pro myself (not even close to). Didn't bring my DSLR, only have a simple compact camera and a mini tripod with me. Everyone can join, no special requirements (else than some creativity and patience

)

Would anyone else be up for that?

I see, the interest is rather limited (which solves my taxi issue)

I will post it here when I plan to do my tour, then everyone else can decide spontaniously if he/she want to join

Good to see that something is moving here

I am planning to go picture-hunting within the next 3 weeks, depending on weather and temperature. Preferably on a Sunday, so people are available.

More infos to come
Stay tuned

Haha guys, I had the same thought, just haven't figured out a plan yet

Timewise I was thinking about 3pm - open end (9pm or so), since I consider SH most attractive in the evening hours (and people cancure their hangover from Friday). Could be combined with a in-between dinner.

Targets could be
-Yuyuan garden
-Puxi waterfront
-Pudong financial district
-Lupu bridge
-City freeway cross
-and more...

Suggestions are welcome

EDIT: I'd suggest Saturday as date

Hello everyone!
I am somewhat new to this website and the city. I would love to meet some photographers and shoot.
What about some lesser known areas of Shanghai? (although I am not sure what to suggest) Places like Yuyuan garden is so well documented. But please let me know, whereever you decide to shoot!

Thanks, Nancy

For Sat, I'll join you guys around 6-ish as I've an activity until 5pm.

For daytime shooting, I can suggest French concession or the old neighborhoods in Huaihai area.
We can take the passenger ferry at dusk and shoot the scenery on both sides of the bund.

If shooting from 3pm - night, perhaps we can have 4 locations in total?

Hey guys

The original plan was Saturday (tmr I cant). But observing the weather forecasts for the last 2 days, I have bad news. They expect heavy rain 2nd half of Friday and whole Saturday. Not on Sunday, however, which they predict perfect sunshine.

So it would probably reasonable to postpone it to either Sunday, or else to another weekend.

What does everyone think?

Hey All,
Would be good to see the pictures you decide to shoot. If possible post them up on the site? I'm no expert in this field, but take I an interest in photography, and i'm still a learner
