Back to China for a bit.
This time no market, but a nightshot, taken from one of the highest floors of our hotel.
The weather in Shanghai was really awfull that first day/evening and I was sooo sorry about that.
But when I saw these evening shots, I was pleased and surprised. They actually look great! You cannot see the top of the Mao Jin Tower coz that's in the clouds and the skyscraper next to it is also gone...

Don't forget to look on the map to see the exact location from where this picture was taken... and.. see the Jin Mao Tower and the other buildings...

Cropped some unimportant water and high buildings off the lower and the left part.
Added some contrast and saturation, sharpened a bit and made a frame/text.

Hope you like this!
Cheers,
Anneke

P.s.: later I will post some daytime shots... and some "nice weather" shots too.

Yes I like this photo, the light and and sharpnes are exellent Anneke. Well done!

hello Anneke,
yes the atmospheric conditions have been very nicely captured in this lowlight shot.
Impressive exposure and detail.
Personally though I find the text/font you've used on the border a bit over-powering.. (just my opinion).

Great effort.
Best regards, Daniel

Looking to this view I almost feel the need to pack my bags and visit this town, and I will, butt not sure if it will be this year....keep me informed about China Ennie!

Ok just caching my breath now Anneke. This is a really beautiful post, wonderful lighting gives the whole image a mystical air. Superb clarity and yet a wonderful softness to the lighting too. A truly magical image my friend, really well done.

Very nice exposure. THe weather is an added plus to the mood. I don't know the scene to knowif you could have moved the viewpoint slightly to get the tower out of the dead middle of the image, but it is very nice.

Hi Anneke

Beautiful postcard of Shanghai.
Beautiful atmosphere and with a light fog touch covering the top of the tower. With their lights to color everything in his turn. Mystic night vision.
Big visual and of a good sharp taste.

Hallo Anneke
Als ik daar zou zijn en een ansichtkaart zou kopen was het deze.

Hello Anneke !

I like the mood you captured a lot ! Some items are puzzling me . A Tug is passing on the river from left to right . It seems to have a giant screen on it displaying a movie or commercial (???? ) The blue tones coming at the far left , I think should be cropped or simply change color to match more the balance of the shot. Just a thought.

I agree with Daniel , try a softer color for your text on your frame. It is too bright and distractive IMHO. The sky color at the right could have worked very well.
Cheers!
Robert

Hi Anneke. I think the weather actually did you a favour here. Lovely colour and light and very good detail. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Cataract Gorge II’

Hi Anneke...I see you've been busy since I visited you last.
Very nice night shot! Exposure looks great...detailed...love the fog. Great shooting Anneke!

Hi Anneke,
It's a beautiful night shot of Shanghai with foggy atmosphere surrounding the towers and buildings. Impressive view.
Good job.

Best Regards,
Alex

Hi Anneke,
Wat een geweldige plaat zeg! kan me voorstellen dat je je blij was. Soms helpen weerscondities.
En ook zo Chinees.
Wij hebben nagenoeg alle groten steden vermeden. Afgezien van de steden waar de lucht havens zijn. Onze start was in Chengdu, Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La. Toen waren we voldoende hoog om de sprong naar Lhasa Tibet te wagen. Letterlijk en Figuurlijk een hoogte punt. Ga nog ff lekker dor jou China foto’s heen.

Anneke,
schitterende foto, ik hou van mist die achtergronden vervaagt en zo de verlichte gebouwen doet schitteren.
Vele groetjes,

Excellent Landscape. Good fogy effect.

Wow Anneke , this is a wonderful panorama of the Shanghai skyscrapers , of which the famous tower standing proudly and timidly its top in the clouds, a marvellous POV from across the water ,one thing i like about it is the FG made up by the large pier and monument genuinely leading the eye to the majestic skyline of beautifully lit buidings ( no bright light here ) , My compliments on this one , very well done considering the prevailing weather conditions ,
TFS,
Carol
