Shanghai Ferry Duhang Pier Carpark Look Down

avatar
@seven7panda
Minimal and clean, this car park is appealingly simple — a rare find in Shanghai. What’s more, the number of cars in the lot will influence the look of your photos. Get creative and see what kind of composition you can come up with! (drone)

This image was taken with a drone, from a car park located adjacent to the Shanghai Ferry Duhang Pier. I recommend taking a taxi to the ferry and then walking to the GPS coordinates to find the exact spot where I stood to launch the drone. Address: Shanghai Ferry Duhang Pier, Shendu Hwy, Minhang Qu, Shanghai Shi, Trung Quốc, 201108

Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
All months of the year are suitable to photograph the Shanghai Ferry parking lot.
I recommend visiting during any time of the day. In the morning and the late-afternoon, the light will be softer and you'll be able to capture the clean pattern of the black and white grids.

Field tips

Before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements.
The white parking lot lines are the perfect tool to use as a grid for you photo. They'll give you an exact symmetry that will frame your photo perfectly!
Pay attention to the cars parked in the lot. Are they positioned nicely for a photo? If you have time, be patient and wait for something interesting to cross your frame.
Try out different angles by flying at different heights — you may be surprised with what you can come up with!
