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.

TWILIGHT HARBOUR
The quayside at Nyhavn in Copenhagen is one of the city's most famous heritage attractions.
Here brightly coloured 17th and early 18th century townhouses line the picturesque waterfront, whilst magnificent wooden sailing ships bob gently up and down on the water.
At night, the area comes alive, with many of the city's most famous restaurants and bars opening their doors to the mass of tourists and locals that throng to this city quarter.
During this particular shoot, rain had been falling gently for a while, banishing people from the cold quayside in favour of welcoming hostelries.
This provided me with the opportunity of a clear shot, whilst the coloured lights glistened on the wet quayside.
