A week's holiday saw me back in Shanghai, this time with my tripod. Most of these photos were taken at around f/9, 4s and ISO-200. The lens I used was an EF-S 15-85mm on my Canon 450D. The results are quite good with the details of the stonework on the buildings in good sharp focus.
This selection of photos shows what a difference the tripod made over my previous photos in the Bund at Night.
More about our Shanghai trip in my main blog.

I read recently that Shanghai has around 300km of elevated expressways. This is the Yan'an Dong Lu interchange with Xizang Rd. Shanghai has a great metro system with 11 lines in operation.
