After 4 months stuck in France, I could finally return to Shanghai early June, and I have been alone at the begining as my wife could not join me for some visa issues. Now, we are together again, but stuck again, this time in China... what a year! However, being stuck in such a large country lets us a massive playground to explore, starting with the city where we live: Shanghai. I think I could spend my life exploring this fascinating town, that provides limitless possibilities for photography. I will then start a serie of cityscapes, which is normally not my favorite style of photo, but I enjoy so much taking photos in this city that I wanted to share some of them. Hope you will like them.
This one has been made during a beautiful sunset over the Hangpu River, with my spare drone (Mavic Air 2, 12 panorama exposures, each one bracketed ie 36 frames merged). On this evening, the sky was full of drones, as I never saw before in my photographer's life. Even if this view is classical, I cannot get bored about it. What a splendid city, again.

I am stuck in Paris, in my appartement for almost two months now, with no possibility to return to Shanghai for a while. On the top of this, my cameras and laptop were stolen last month, so that I could not edit anything from my past photos, all my backups being in China. I could fortunately buy new cameras just before the lockdown, but making photos is getting complicated now... Yesterday evening, I finally decided to go out for a short walk at sunset time (French authorities allow you 1 hour daily exercise around your residence place, within a 2km circle). I never saw Paris like this, with a Seine river totally quiet, still, reflecting the sky like a mirror. I hope all of you are doing well in these crazy times
