Cityscapes
If you're looking for photographic inspiration, then search no further than your nearest city.
By day or by night, the city environment is one of continuous change where the old and the new sit alongside each other often with a surprising degree of harmonisation. The never ending hustling and bustling of people add movement and vibrancy to the modern urban environment.
Architects with ideologies sit in their futuristic towers, designing bigger, taller and more flamboyant skyscrapers to create dramatic skylines that the world will recognise and gasp at in awe.
The phosphorescent lights of a million bulbs in every conceivable colour are cleverly utilised to add shape, colour and form to the network of city streets, whilst incandescent street lamps create rows of dynamic lines for the photographer to use.
Yes... the city is a great place for inspiration and the following images are just a small sample from my ever-growing library.

GUARDIAN OF THE THAMES
The huge dome of St Paul's Cathedral has stood guard over the city of London for more than 300 years.
In this image its classic and iconic form has been captured with one of London's newest landmarks, The Millennium Footbridge, in a classic juxtaposition of the 'Old and the New.'
By also including the River Thames in the composition, a highly saleable image has been created featuring three of the city's most famous landmarks.
The one minute night exposure has served two purposes here:

The one minute night exposure has served two purposes here:
- Allowing the fast flowing River Thames to record
as a smooth blur. - Ensuring that any crossing pedestrians have not
recorded in the final image.
