Great picture of Pudung, this is one of my favorite spots in Shanghai. I was on the Bund Tuesday this week, but with two small kids, no chance of getting out early enough to get something as spectacular as this. Next time we are here I will have to sneak out early and see what I have been missing.
I noticed that all the photographers were stuck against the railings making images of the skyscrapers, I wanted more context and I really liked the lines of the darker pavement stones that could be used as visual cues to make strong diagonals in the foreground. Symmetry here was key to the setup.
It also helped that my hotel was only 5 minutes walk away, i kept an eye on the lighting conditions every morning, if it was really dull and overcast I didn't bother going down. My initial visits enabled me to sort out my approach and composition, I was just waiting for the right lighting and fog/smog.
