Capturing Shanghai: A Ricoh GR II Photo Walk on Wu Kang Road

Introduction

Post-lunch at Yuan Yuan, I photographed Shanghai's Wu Kang Road with my Ricoh GR II, leveraging the afternoon sun for ideal shadows. I captured diverse scenes: vehicles (Land, Bicycle), nature (Tree, Leaf, Branch), architecture (Wood, Interior), fashion (Dress), and people (Pedestrian, Child, People, Photograph). Details included Glass, Car door, Road surface, Light fixture, Display window, and Wire. Photos conveyed urban motion, static presence, culture (Temple), and the city's transformation from daytime (Daytime, Blue) to evening (Night, Reflection, Shadow). Themes included urban nature, infrastructure, and public recreation.
