Turbulence, a photo from Shanghai, East

Photographer's Note

This was taken looking down from the Peace Hotel at crowds in Nanjing Road celebrating on the evening before the opening of the National Games in Shanghai in 1983.

I have used levels adjustment and contrast masking.

Everything is more than perfect in this shot. One of my very-very favorites...

Gorgeous! What an abstract imagery... These swirls of people appear like they are momentarily recreating the body of a fleeting dragon. The thumbnail, on the otherhand, looks like a macro shot of flame :).

Actally, I thought it was ruddy water with a sail on the thumbnail. This is so good, must be a slow shutterspeed of less than 1/30 s? The flow of the throng is great!

Really amazing. A picture quite abstract at the first sight, but if we look closer, a lot of details appear. A static picture, but we can feel the movement of the crowd. Sure, one of my favorite.

Incredible capture of a crowd. It's a very good idea to take it like from the top with a slow exposure. It shows some similarities with wind testing of plane wings for example. Fantastic shot!
