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.

ARMADILLO SUNSET
This is an unusual image of the Scottish Exhibition Centre (SECC) and one that would be difficult to replicate.
The shot was taken close to sunset one evening... but the unusual thing is that the sun was setting behind my left shoulder not behind the Armadillo!
The burst of light behind the building has come about by a 'trick of the light.'
A rapid clearance in some stormy weather led to brilliant thin shafts of sunlight, beaming through the occasional gap in the dense cloud.
A combination of 2 x ND Grads held back 4 stops of light in the sky, resulting in the atmospheric shot displayed here.
One again, this image was a result of watching and waiting, seeking a break in the poor weather.
