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.

ROWS UPON ROWS
The 'Medieval Rows' are a well known double storeyed covered shopping area in the glorious city of Chester.
Their black and white timber-framed exteriors create a unique and thoroughly picturesque setting that really does remind one of 'Olde England.'
Beautiful to behold by day, at night their illuminated form inspires the mind and frees the soul.
Here a long exposure has produced one single traffic trail painting light down Eastgate Street and adding a sense of movement to the image.
This same long exposure has enabled me to 'vanish' moving pedestrians from the street allowing the viewer to concentrate on the stunning architecture.
