110+ Sensational Cityscape Photographs

Vailancio Rodrigues on Mar 19th 2010 with 28 comments

Almost everyone lives near some form of city – whether it’s a huge urban metropolis, or a smaller town. By nature, a city isn’t necessarily the most beautiful subject to photograph. And therein lies the challenge – taking a man made set of structures, and turning them into something artistic and beautiful.

Today we’re showcasing over a hundred examples of photos that got it right, showing off the beauty that can lie in cities spread around the world.

Some of those are truly stunning, but I have one almost identical to the one by jon.noj, but with a more yellow white balance http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3092730&id=858389473 there, and it was a less clear day.

Some great photos, a pity the comments – like so many photo showcases – turn into a “look at me” self-promotion fest.

Hey GuyZ!
You forgot to criticize :)
All these images are from Flickr. Actually I had other sources in my mind. But the number was increasing and also I was running out of time. This collection itself took me over a week to complete. So I finalized with most sensational Flickr Photographs. There are many more if you consider other sources. Anyway let me know if I should continue with such inspirational posts.

That is a great collection of shots. What I find very interesting is the majority of them were taken at night. Seems I need to head out with my camera after the sun goes down for a change.
