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.

THE SPIRIT OF TORONTO
The Canadian National Tower (CN Tower) is the signature icon of Toronto's skyline, and a symbol of Canada itself.
Towering over Downtown Toronto and Lake Ontario to a height of 1,815 feet, this magnificent structure was the tallest free-standing structure in the world for over 30 years until it was surpassed by the 'Burj Khalifa' building in Dubai in 2007.
For my image, I wanted to leave the viewer in no doubt as to where in the world this amazing building stood. Therefore I incorporated that other famous Canadian icon, their National Flag 'The Maple Leaf' into the shot.
Together they form an unmistakable image of the city of Toronto and country of Canada.
The dynamic diagonal composition is a deliberate act to accentuate the size of the tower by convergence, but ultimately it has assisted in creating the space required for the flag.
