In this case,you can use event customer_login and

Condtion:

• fire this event on frontend <frontend> area.
• Basically when customer are loggedin success then the event is fire.Also and put a condition for current full action for Mage::app()->getRequest()->getFullActionName()=='customer_account_loginPost' because of Customer also register at checkout step

Then at observer redirect to your shopping cart page using below code:

Mage::app()->getResponse()
                        ->setRedirect($YOurUrl)
                             ->sendResponse();

Config.xml code:

  <global>
    <models>
      <magento>
        <class>StackExchange_Magento_Model</class>
      </magento>
    </models>
  </global>
<frontend><!-- area -->
    <events>
      <customer_login> <!-- identifier of the event we want to catch -->
        <observers>
          <customer_login_redirect> <!-- identifier of the event handler -->
            <type>model</type> <!-- class method call type; valid are model, object and singleton -->
            <class>magento/observer</class> <!-- observers class alias -->
            <method>redirectiontoCart</method>  <!-- observer's method to be called -->
          </customer_login_redirect>
        </observers>
      </customer_login>
    </events>
<frontend>

Observer.php is :

<?php
class StackExchange_Magento_Model{
public function redirectiontoCart(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
    {
        if(Mage::app()->getRequest()->getFullActionName()=='customer_account_loginPost'):
            Mage::app()->getResponse()
                            ->setRedirect($YOurUrl)
                                 ->sendResponse();

        endif;

    }
}
?>
