raemin is a group administrator raemin says:

Hi,all

This is Raemin Zhang, I'd like to invite you all to take part in the 4th Official Shanghai Flickr Meetup. Since we've already sucessfully held up the meetup 3 times, the fourth one is expected to be one interesting and fabulous as well. So if u'r available, just feel free to join us! We don't care who you are, where are you from, which equipment you are using. Just show up and have fun, that's all!

Date: 13:00 Oct. 14 or 1 day among the National Holiday (Oct1-Oct 7) But no Oct. 3, I'm not available that day, sorry.

Venue: Haven't decided, went to the Moganshan Rd today and found some brilliant abandon houses. Haven't explored the whole area yet coz time limited. Will be interested in viewing it again.
Or climb the Lupu Bridge for sightseeing . U can check more info. about the climbing project at : www.shanghaiclimb.com/ (Chinese)
www.shanghaiclimb.com/eindex.htm (English)
But if we climb the bridge, we need to make a reservation 1st. Then the date might be changed.

Or U have a better place to recommand, that's very welcome too!

作为上海人,这次特别希望可以看到更多中国朋友的加入!

Not sure if 3pm is a little late if we're going to be taking pictures but I should be free that day.

Also just wanted to clarify when you said "We don't care who you are, where are you from, which equipment you are using" you forgot to add "as long as it's not Nikon"!

I was also out today, first weekend of decent weather in a while. Will post when film gets developed.

Your English is fine by the way!

Rae, I might be travelling. I can only confirm maybe after oct holidays.

No no, Peter, don't start on the Nikon thingy...

I think 3pm will be late for the season now. I went out at 3pm today to buy a filter, the light is fantastic until about 4+.

Yah, your english is gooooood. Do check mine please. hehehe...

raemin is a group administrator raemin says:

Yeah, 3 pm is a bit late. Wendy suggested we changed it into 1 pm, so I think it's better, right? And tell me, which place do you prefer? Mary and Wendy both think Moganshan Rd is more attractive, what do you guys think?

@ Peter, come on! Nikon users are very welcome, ok? I'll probably buy a Nikon camera later, so don't even start it :P

@ Ya Ya and arròsalforn ,

as I said, the date is changeable. So maybe we could make it a week earier. I'm not quite sure if u guys have many things to do during the National Holiday. If no, maybe we could choose one day among the 7. (:

As with Peter's suggestion in one of your photos, us getting models for the shoot is a great idea, too.

Peter In Shanghai  Pro User  says:

I wasn't joking. I think the abandoned buildings would make a great backdrop for a model shoot but without any human interest I think the shots may end up a bit boring. Of course, maybe that's because I don't have the creativity that some of you possess!

Good idea. That used to be an old factory area. Art district showing varied artworks, fantastic place. But for the abandoned houses, I didn't find any path to the abandoned house( I mean the house beside the Suzhou River) I really want to go there, but couldn't find the way. Anyone knows how to get there : -)

If we move to Sunday there will also be people who can't make it, you'll never get everyone. Personally, I think it's better to pick a date which we have done, and stick to it.

But if it changes to Sunday, I should still be okay.

Venue: Moganshan Rd Changhua Rd

I don't know how to go the place myself, so if any of the attendees would like to meet at People's Square first, I'd probably join that.

You can Flickr mail Raemin, or I guess any of us you think looks trustworthy enough to leave your contact number to (haha).

Peter: Hmmm... so there is such a thing as a PRIVATE Flickr meetup! :p

Firstly, Welcome all the flickrs in Shanghai take part in our 4th meetup! But there's always a rule, that's we usually just accept ppl who has a camera and be interested in taking pics. ^^

I'll meet the models first @ ppls square then had lunch @ a snack bar near the interaction. Last time went to the snack bar and found very tasty SHENG JIAN MAN TOU there. Would like to try it again! So anyone interested in doin' that could join us (:

@anniealbum, your friend sachin has already given me your no. Will contact you the day b4 (:

@Rampant Gian, ok. I'll definitely let you know if we have a meetup during the time you are here (:

@Tim, thanks a lot for the map! (:
