Day Nineteen – Wednesday 25th Feb – Inside the Pearl
Comments Published February 26th, 2009 in UncategorizedSo, Tried to time it so the sun would be going down as we were up the TV tower. Started out with a few shots with the telephoto lens.
^ Building work in Shanghai. Fancy that.
^ Traffic in Shanghai. Okay; thats a little shocking. :p
^ Apparently this way is East! And in the background; the observatory where I was the day before.
^ The walkway I was in the day before. Hehehe, even with the 300mm max’d out; they looked so small.
^ The TV tower is TALL. And we were right at the top in the space module. This gives you an idea of JUST HOW HIGH the SWFC is!
^ Another shot of the SWFC, its just so pwetty.
^ I love this tripplet of buildings. It was cool to watch them change as it got darker.
^ The lower observation deck. ( The big ball near the top when ur looking at the tower. The Space Module is the tiny ball just above it. )
^ As demonstrated in this handy picture. Previous picture was taken in the 2nd “ball” from the top.
^ Shanghai at dusk. Pretty boring without its lights on.
^ Me chilling out with a few million people.
^ The lady running the Kodak booth was playing Solitaire. I <3>
^ Inside the space module. The Space module was very small, and very quiet. Its like an extra £5 to go to the space module compared to the “standard” observation deck. Well worth it for the serenity.
^ More Shanghai at dusk. A few lights starting to come on.
^ The entrance to the space module.
^ My two favourite buildings starting to get lit up a bit more.
^ I love shots like this.
^ As it got darker, the lights INSIDE the space module started to reflect off the windows. This haz’d out a lot of my photos… and in later pics you’ll see my blatent reflection. C’est la vie.
^ Getting darker!
^ The tripplet starting to contrast against the sky / river.
^ Shanghai really starts to come alive at night.
^ Darker still!
^ I liked the orange hue of the street lights.
^ Started playing with some long exposure pictures. There was a tiny window sill, and I had my baby tripod. I couldn’t keep the camera perfectly still, as I still had to hold it a little to stop it sliding down the slanted window sill. But… hey ho. You get what you’re given.
^ <3
^ Wish I could have opened the windows to get rid of the glare.
^ Shanghai looks awesome at night, no?
^ Pwetty.
^ Thats an awesome shade of blue.
^ Electric blue. I like.
^ The North-East side of the river.
The North side of the city.
^ I like this shot. Taken from the lower, standard, observation deck.
^ Lots of nice colours here.
^ and voila. Me looking exhausted from taking a gazillion photos!
Hope you enjoyed those snaps as much as I loved taking them. It’s a beautiful city, I recommend it to everyone!
Seriously, I have jelly legs just looking at this. I don’t know how u did it!! Amy x
