Shanghai, China, is a pretty awesome place. I wasn’t expecting it to be as cool as it was. The whole time I was there, I couldn’t stop thinking about how it reminded me of Blade Runner. It was pouring rain the whole time, causing the wet streets to reflect all the neon Congee signs, which gave the look of Blade Runner cities.
This was also my first time photographing in the pouring rain. I got soaked, and my camera got soaked. I tried to keep my umbrella above my gear, but when shooting with a wide lens, it kept getting in the way. At the end of the day, only one button wasn’t working on the camera, which was fine the next day when everything dried out. It seems like my trusty old Canon 5Dmkii can handle anything.
