在上海讲到静安区,现在不得不补充一句老静安or新静安,因为前几年两区合并把静安区和闸北区合并了,当然会有很多静安区的居民感到惋惜,也会有闸北区的居民感到愤愤不平,这应该不是我讨论的问题,我仅仅在此分享一下在新静安曾经航拍的一些内容,因为特意在这个区域内航拍的飞手太少了。

我原来做过一个上海火车站的专题内容(我们这代上海人的铁路记忆),这其中就有曾经特意去北郊站航拍的内容,关于北郊站也许也就是有过上山下乡这段经历的上海人不会忘记,而我因为不会忘记,所以会去特意记录。

箭头所指方向就是目前已经完成改造的区域

在北郊站的航拍过程中我就注意到了一路之隔的彭浦新村,那时应该还刚刚启动改造,最早的那部分新村已经拆除了老房子,开始平整土地,而现在这段时间新闻中的画面这里已经竖起了经过改善后的高层建筑。

有段时间我从共和新路最北端开始往南一路航拍,当然也记录了共和新路外环线的立交桥,由于那边当时已经限高,要拍到一个完整的立交桥已经有难度。

还好共和新路中环这个立交桥还能够完整的拍摄下来,记得原来有过众多摄影师都企图通过爬楼的方式拍下这个漂亮的立交桥,显然再高的建筑拍到的也都只能是侧面,无人机无疑是拍摄此类题材的最好手段。

我一般外出航拍时都会有预选的方案,方法就是在电子地图上用卫星示意图来观看拍摄地周边是否还有有趣的建筑物,而静安体育中心就是这样被发现的。

感谢那天的好天气,可以让我在光影极佳的状态下完成拍摄。

拍摄共和新路沿途的建筑物实际上一开始是从内环线立交边上的楼顶飞行时顺便拍过,由于是远距离飞行,所以并不敢降低高度,于是也就没有我所需要的构图。

于是选择更好的时间段,近距离直接升空,这才完成了此次拍摄。

近距离地观察和拍摄有利于构图,也可以近距离地拍摄细节,这个我在另一篇文章中也已经介绍过(#老寿读图#第156集无人机航拍需要飞得很高吗?)。

2016年8月在永胜苑拍摄的画面

关于天目路大转盘的内容在视频中有点误会,因为实际上拍摄时北通道已经在上面做了跨线桥,所以拿出原来在新疆路高层建筑上拍摄的画面做一个对比才清楚。

我原来做过一个视频,是从共和新路天目路这个立交桥一路沿着南北高架拍摄黄昏高峰时段的状态,点开该内容内:
这段视频拍摄时北通道的跨线桥已经建成。
显然现在这种方式的拍摄已经不大可能。

就目前环境来说对无人机航拍并不友好,众多的限制使得本该值得记录的内容都没法拍摄,而目前为了某些行业而放开的低空经济,使得更多区域都让步给了这些行业,而这些行业也就扼杀了无人机飞行的可能。

When discussing Jing’an District in
Shanghai, it has become necessary to specify “Old Jing’an” or
“New Jing’an,” as the merger of Jing’an District with Zhabei District
a few years ago has left many residents Jing’an feeling nostalgic, while those
from Zhabei may harbor a sense of discontent. However, this is not the focus of
my discussion; I merely wish to share some aerial footage I captured in New
Jing’an, as there are few drone operators who have specifically filmed in this
area.

Previously, I created a feature on
Shanghai Railway Station, which included a dedicated aerial shoot at Beijiao
Station. This location holds memories for those Shanghai residents who
experienced the “Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside”
movement, and my desire to document it stems from my own unwillingness to
forget.

During the aerial shoot at Beijiao
Station, I noticed the adjacent Pengpu New Village, which was just beginning
its renovation process at that time. The earliest sections of the new village
had already seen the demolition of old houses, and land was being prepared for
development. In the news recently, images have emerged of the newly erected
high-rise buildings that now grace the area.

For a period, I began aerial filming
from the northernmost point of Gonghe New Road, moving southward, which
included capturing the overpasses of the outer ring road. Given that height
restrictions were in place at that time, obtaining a complete view of an
overpass proved challenging.

Fortunately, I was able to capture the
Gonghe New Road Zhonghuan overpass in its entirety. I recall that many
photographers had previously attempted to scale buildings to photograph this
striking overpass, but even the tallest structures could only yield side views.
Undoubtedly, drones represent the most effective means for capturing such
subjects.

When I embark on aerial filming
excursions, I typically prepare a selection of potential sites, utilizing
satellite imagery on electronic maps to identify interesting architectural
features in the vicinity This method led to the discovery of the Jing’an Sports
Center.

I am grateful for the splendid weather
on that day, which allowed me to complete the shoot under optimal lighting
conditions. My initial filming of the buildings along Gonghe New Road began
from the rooftop adjacent to the inner ring road overpass. However, due to the
long-distance flight, I was hesitant to lower the altitude, resulting in
compositions that did not meet my needs.

Thus, I opted for a more suitable time
frame and ascended directly at a closer range, which ultimately led to the
successful completion of the shoot. Close observation and filming facilitate
better composition and allow for the capture of intricate details, a point I
have elaborated on in another article (#Old Shou Reading Pictures, Episode 156:
Do Aerial Drone Shots Need to Be Taken from Great Heights?).

There was a slight misunderstanding
regarding the content of the Tianmu Road Roundabout in the video. In reality,
during filming, the northern passage had already been equipped with an
overpass, making it necessary to compare the footage taken from the high-rise
buildings on Xinjiang Road for clarity.

Previously, I produced a video
capturing the bustling evening rush hour along the north-south elevated road at
the Gonghe New Road and Tianmu Road interchange (a busy segment of Shanghai’s
evening traffic). Clearly, such a filming approach has become increasingly
challenging.

Currently, the environment is not
particularly conducive to drone photography, as numerous restrictions hinder
the documentation of noteworthy content. Furthermore, the burgeoning
low-altitude economy, which has been relaxed for certain industries, has encroached
upon many areas, ultimately stifling the potential for drone flights.
