Cityscapes

Photographs of different cities.

Cities can be imposing and give us many different opportunities to capture the moment at different times the day, at different seasons and weather.

One of the best times to photograph the city skylines is during twilight hours when the sun is just setting and the light is not too harsh and at blue time after sunset.
