Website relaunch soon… :: The world at night preview (Chicago)
I’m pretty sure this is unpublished on my blog, although it might be on my old website somewhere.
This was taken in Chicago during a very brief roadtrip and we ended up with only about 3 hours in the city. It was an opportunity not to miss!
Seen in Chicago, USA :: June 2008
Shanghai Urban Planning I
This is the future of Shanghai and a glimpse of what it will look like 10 years from now in 2020.
To be fair, it’s not changed much - it’s just that one very tall building in the middle of Lujiazui in the Pudong area that’s being built at the moment which is different from the [...]
Huangpu :: Shanghai
The Huangpu River winds through Shanghai and splits the city into the Puxi and Pudong sides (west and east respectively).
The Huangpu River is seen here from the Vue Bar in the Hyatt on the Bund - great view, expensive drinks
To the left is the new financial centre of Lujiazui and the Pearl Tower [...]
Shanghai :: The City
Lujiazui and Pudong seen from the Vue Bar at the Hyatt on the Bund hotel.
Seen today, Shanghai :: July 2010
Hyatt on the Bund :: View towards Pudong
Another break in the Malaysia image flow… this is the view taken from the Hyatt on the Bund Hotel in Shanghai, looking towards the Pudong area. I took this image a few days ago and thought it was quite good for a night time image using my Canon G10.
Singapore by Night
Singapore by night :: April 2010.
Got to say… it’s a pretty cool city/state/country!
Lujiazui :: Shanghai

Shanghai Morning :: On the way to work
It’s time for a break from the photos taken whilst I was living in Vancouver. Instead it’s back to Shanghai and some more recent images.
This first one was taken on my Canon G10 camera on the way to work out of the bus window. We have had some clear skies recently and I saw this [...]
Urban Vancouver II
I’m spending more time on reprocessing at the moment than anything else. Partly because I’m interested in how I now approach using Photoshop with images and partly to see how my preferences and taste have changed.
This is a residential building in Downtown Vancouver seen from the Burrard Bridge area.
Shot February 2008; reprocessed January 2010.
Shanghai @ Night :: Alleyways and City Lights
Alleyways and city lights is the subject of this posting. Taken one evening in November 2009 just before it started to get really cold in Shanghai. This area near to People’s Square is undergoing major construction and renovation. The ambient lighting around the centre of Shanghai is also pretty crazy at night!
Night time in Shanghai :: Nanjing Xi Lu looking towards Tomorrow Square
It’s been a while since I took night time pictures in Shanghai and last Sunday was reported to be the last day of good weather for a while (and that’s definitely been true all of this week!). So I packed up a tripod and headed down towards People’s Square and went looking for some cool [...]
The Yarra River in central Melbourne
Following on my usual theme of night time blues, here’s a picture from central Melbourne of the Yarra River.
Circular Quay Sydney :: October 2009
Sydney, on average, has about 23 days where the weather is wet, cloudy and generally unpleasant. I was lucky enough to experience 4 of these 23 days in October this year. However, one good thing comes from all those clouds… and that’s the amazing saturation of all the colours which you don’t see on a [...]
Night Time Sydney :: Australia October 2009
View from the water edge at Balmain looking over the Sydney Central Business District area one evening in October.
“agnes b” in Hong Kong
I love this kind of huge advertising campaign! Very effective. Taken in Hong Kong Island during July 2009.
Hong Hong :: Summer 2009
It’s Hong Kong Island on a beautiful warm and sunny day in July. What more can I say?

Shanghai Pearl Tower :: Lujiazui
A view of the Pearl Communication Tower in Shanghai. I’m not sure where I was when I took this image and I initially rejected it thinking I didn’t like it. However, sometimes it’s good to go through images again and on a second viewing I’ve decided that I really do like this image. [...]
An Alternative Shanghai Gang of Four…
