Photographic diary of climbing stairs-Shenzhen

When it comes to urban scenery, the most unfamiliar picture is the steel forest photographed from the perspective of human eyes standing on the ground If there is anything unusual, it is just the "golden moment" after sunrise and before sunset or the "blue moment" before sunrise, adding some light effects to these behemoths made of glass and concrete and giving some vitality to these lifeless bodies. If the requirements for viewing angle go further, completely avoid the perspective deformation of high-rise buildings, or want to have a bird's eye view of the general broad field of vision, then raising the height is the new demand.

UAV is the best choice when conditions permit. However, for a photo of a drone with outstanding image quality, the cost of the drone itself, the cost of learning, air traffic control and the limitation of equipment all determine that it is not affordable for individual photographers, let alone the flight itself that is close to the building. Therefore, it is another choice to "climb the stairs" with a camera and tripod.

Climbing a building, that is, "shooting the city scenery at the top of a tall building or anywhere where the glass can be blocked", is the biggest difference from shooting on the ground that half of the shooting energy will be devoted to finding a plane seat. Because you want to enter a high-rise building, even if the ideal building has been confirmed by satellite map, there will be problems of authority and opportunity. Therefore, the fun of climbing stairs photography is not limited to getting pictures, but more fun lies in the process of finding plane seats and the joy of successfully punching in the ideal plane seats.

Experienced stair climbing party will divide all stair climbing chairs into three types:

That is, any seat that can be entered by paying a certain amount, and the typical representatives are high-rise building sightseeing halls, high-rise hotels and high-rise restaurants. Because this kind of seat is designed for tourists, the angle of view is often good, but the shortcomings are also obvious. Designing for tourists doesn't mean designing for photographers, so you often encounter glass covered with fingerprints and crowded tourist areas. In addition, photography is often only a by-product of the money invested, because high prices basically contribute to tourism.

Broadly speaking, the seats obtained by letting the security guard release them with a little benefit fee (this is very common in some classic seats, and there is a market when there is demand) can also be classified as the "beggar's version" of local tyrants.

That is, money is invalid, and ordinary passers-by have no authority. They can only get permission through introduction or filing, or the plane seats brought in by acquaintances who work in the building. Typical representatives are high-grade commercial buildings, high-grade apartments and buildings under construction. The characteristic of this kind of seat is that once you get permission, you will be very free to choose your seat. Almost every seat you can choose is unique. If you have enough authority, you can even unlock the equipment floor, truss and other top seats. The shortcomings are also obvious. Not everyone can do it right.

Broadly speaking, the seats obtained by professional photographers or journalists in buildings for shooting city scenery are also personal seats. It is also a personal position to be approved to fly drones in military administrative zones or no-fly zones.

This type has the largest number of seats in buildings and is worth exploring, but unfortunately it is also the most common seat. You don't need money, you don't need contacts, you just need a brain, which can be said to be the first choice for entry-level rock climbing parties. The typical representative is a high-rise residential building. The reason why ordinary seats are ordinary is because the uncertainty of this seat is relatively large, and whether it is open depends entirely on the property. If you meet a serious security guard or an iron lock in front of the rooftop, it will be ruined.

To sum up, whether it is a professional photographer or an amateur photographer, the process of finding a seat may consume manpower, material resources and financial resources, and it depends on the weather, which is a self-sufficient thing. So the basic etiquette of the rock climbing party: don't ask about the seat, don't reveal the seat. In this article, I can't disclose the address of the plane in any form, please forgive me.

But it is not completely impossible to get a flight. People who make good use of satellite maps should know what I'm talking about (laughs). The key is to do it yourself and have plenty of food and clothing.

That's a bit much ... then let's put up several buildings we climbed in Shenzhen at once!

The above three pictures are a bird's-eye view of the magnificent China Folk Village in miniature. Splendid china is a famous scenic spot in Shenzhen. If you carefully observe the miniature landscape, you can play all day. By the way, please recommend.

Next is the Futian CBD that can't be missed. Just in time for the sunset glow, the following pictures are arranged in the order of getting darker.

The picture below shows the Citizen Square.
