Thanks for this. I love your energy and enthusiasm. I just need to get down to my city now and get shooting and you have given me some great ideas. Subscribed.
Sure, golden hour and blue hour are great, but I think cityscapes also lend themselves perfectly for mid-day shooting as the harsh light can create really nice shadows in these kinds of environments.
I agree with you for the point. Many thing can be the center of photography in the city such as sky line and buildings. The next point is the best time of photographing in a day. I have the same comment with the most of people, the sunset and sunrise can be the best time for taking photo. The reason might be the weather on sunrise is special, it will make the city become a golden color. The city will get into blue hour after sunset, there are also the light interaction, which make the city shining in the night. The view is totally different during sunrise and sunset. For my own view, people need treat the view with different angles, such as look up and down, it will provide some good perspectives. However, mid-day shooting can be great too. As your said, the light in mid-day can highlight the subject you wanna show in the picture. The subject of the photo is also important, which can clearly tell the people what you wanna show. Final one is the feel of a photo, that can be considered the most important part of a good photo. Because the photo can show the emotions, the photographer need to focus on some details and provide the feeling for viewer.
Gareth - humungous thanks for this tutorial; I am planning another London trip quite soon and hadn't thought about the 'blue hour' which was fascinating. Absolutely love all your tutorials - you are the only person who makes it all make sense to me! Thank you, thank you.
Would you be able to advise on how best to shoot in the city at night to capture the entire cityscape with all the lights and also the highway that I have nearby? I live 34 stories up on the top of the building and downtown San Antonio, and I really want to capture the magic of all the lights from the highway with all the traffic, and all the colorful lights in the city. Would love if you could share your thoughts on how best to achieve this? I have a canon 70 and also a like a Q2, which more than likely is not the right one to use for this scenario. Also, could you recommend the best wide angle lens for me to get?camera settings everything thank you so much!
I've been photographing for DECADES , and the energy that this guy exudes ( as well as the awesome pictures shown ), makes me want to grab my gear , jump in the car and start shooting in any one of the cities I live near .- MAYBE you are commenting on your own lack lustre pictures , rather than the images shown in this video
Nothing like a light rainy night in London.... Nice video and thoughts....

That's so lovely to hear, thank you 🙂
Really inspiring Tuesday update, thank you!
I love Tutorial Tuesdays - WHOOSH. I always forget about city scapes and blue hour. Thanks for reminding me.
Great video and tips. I love your enthusiasm.
A nice refresher video to inspire - if it wasn't for my "rickety" knees , I'd get down for the low angle shots far more often !!!
Very helpful and insightful video. Great presentation. Thank you.
Excellent video. Interested in your view as to when converging verticals work and don’t work.
Thanks. Great content and really useful. Looking forward to trying out my 8-16mm Ultra wide in London during the blue hour.
About to go to NY so thank you for the tips!

This video gave me a lot of inspiration and new ideas. Thank you so much!

Watching this as I sit in my Air BnB in London 😂
Sorry, but I did not like the video. Very little useful information and the photos shown, the majority are quite boring and flat.
