*Shanghai* - A daily/weekly/monthly dose

I've decided to make a Shanghai photo thread that I'll regularly update with photos. While I've enjoyed doing the big photo threads in the past, it's become more and more difficult to allocate the few hours it takes to do one. I keep putting it off, and the photos keep piling up which, in turn, makes an already large thread take even longer to put together. Plus, I get to post photos as they happen rather than waiting a year. This helps me if anyone has questions about a photo. I tend to forget the little details sometimes.

So here's to a new era of photo-sharing (for me, at least) on SSP.


Let's kick it off with some skyline porn.

Outstanding shots, as usual, giallo!

The sharpness and quality of all your images is great, an exquisite porn. Besides, you´ve got an incredible scenery like Shanghai, an amazing city. Enjoyed all your pictures, specially the aerial shots and all those taken at Pudong Financial area.

Keep more pictures from Shanghai coming...

Congratulations and greetings from Madrid, Spain.

Gotta love how Shanghai's skyline continues to grow (and with quite a few sexy towers!). Always a pleasure to view your threads, giallo!

Holy Christ what an amazing city! I cant wait to visit it, you and me will have to hang out and go on a photo tour whenever I visit Shanghai, which will hopefully be soon. What do you do for a living there?

For sure. I'll show you some of my favourite spots.

I work as a photographer in Shanghai.

Nope. Isn't it just for phone pictures? Can you upload photos from your computer on it?

The sheer density is astounding, not to mention the gorgeous skyline. Nice job!

Amazing stuff! Awesome close up of Jin Mao's top. It really is Shanghai's Empire State Building.

I'll have to subscribe to your thread to keep up with the updates.

Awesome pics mate!

It's a must see place for me - any advice as to when is the best time of year to visit? ( I really like clear sunny skies and 15-25C weather )
