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.

BIG AND BEAUTIFUL IFC2
The International Finance Centre on Hong Kong Island consists of two skyscrapers named IFC One & IFC Two.
This image shows IFC Two, the tallest skyscraper in the city which dominates the skyline above Victoria Harbour.
It is a true marvel of modern engineering and very worthy of a position in this section of the Gallery.
The Harbour is extremely busy and it is very difficult to combine a long exposure at twlight, with the required period clear of the frantic waterborne activity.
Here I elected to leave the streaking lights of passing vessels in the final image. Yes I could have 'Photoshopped' them out... but somehow that would be at odds with the freneticism of the city.
