Nice photos. Must be difficult to shoot the back streets with a digital camera with all the extremes in exposure.

that last photo taken on damshui rd is close to where I stay! I find that the best place to shoot traditional life in Shanghai is the area around the touristy Yu Yuan garden. Walk a few blocks and you get to the old parts of Shanghai.

Buzz me if you want to have a look today Sunday.

Thanks all.

Dfoo and Daffader - I was in Shanghai on a biz trip from 16-20 Jun 09. Well, I am now back in Singapore. Thanks for the tips and offer to meet up. 🙂

I agree, that is where I took my favorite shots in the thread I started HERE.

That place is photographer's paradise!
