Next to my Hotel, in People’s Square, was one of the busiest streets of Shanghai: Nanjing Lu. A 30 minutes walk, east direction, led me to the Bund, Shanghai’s most famous walkway.
|
At the Bund a Chinese girl was selling luminescent horns. This walkway was the heart of the colonial Shanghai, flanked on one side by the Huangpu River and on the other by hotels, banks, offices, and clubs that were the grandiose symbols of western powers.
|
People were watching an advertisement boat passing by along the Huangpu River. Shanghai’s River is a mere 68 miles (110 Km) in length, but yet a busy commercial waterway and probably the best spot from were to appreciate the skyline of the city by night.
|
The view of Pudong District, set on the other side of the River, was amazing: a blaze of neon. Since the beginning of its development in 1990, Pudong has emerged as China’s financial and commercial hub. This modern Shanghai District is also home of China’s tallest skyscrapers.
|
Connecting the two flanks of the River is the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel, which offers a high-tech passage beneath the Huangpu River. Passengers are carried by small cars and entertained during the short trip by an accompanying soundtrack and a laser show.
|
That was my last night in China. The next time I’ve seen the sun raising it was in Qatar, half way of my journey back to London.

Hi, Iagho. Great set and documentary shots! China must be a wonderful country to visit! Liked a lot all the pictures, but last one (the plane with a sunset on the background) is astonishing. Great job, man. Keep shooting. Cheers.

The Pudong District and the Laser Show shots are just unbelievable! Have you been using a fisheye? (it looks like you are far away out in the sea on a boat, but as you say it is a river, so you were pretty close). The exposure is perfect! Have you been using a stativ for the laser show shot? The district shot goes to my favs for sure!

For longimanus: You'r right I've used a 16mm fisheye, actually was a 24mm equivalent because of the size of the my sensor. The laser pic didn't need a stand, I was even on a moving little train, that because the exposure was calculated in spot and right on the laser light, therefore the shutter speed wasn't that slow ..the anti-shake did the rest : ))

Dear Alex, I'm not sure what I like more: the images or the text. Pretty colors, great angles and yes, you write so good! Thanks for sharing your experiences and please check the subtitles I've put! A.

Inspirational set. You don't seem to be using flash or a tripod and yet you're picking up great detail in such low light. I love how you work with the city lights. I look forward to seeing more of your images!
