For this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge, Patti asks us to share “a cityscape of one city or several cities with populations in the thousands or millions.”
I find cityscapes at night is fascinating, but I don’t get to practice night photography often at all. I know this much–long shutter speed and a tripod are needed to get sharp night photos. Since I don’t have a habit of bringing a tripod when I travel, so when I do, I set high ISO and a longer shutter speed that I can handhold my camera, and then hope to get a good result.
It is hard to resist taking night photos in London:
The one below was taken from the London Tower Bridge:
Beautiful cityscape of San Fransco:
Cityscape of Miami:
Last but not least, New York, New York! This one was captured with my Panasonic Lumix, a mirrorless camera:
I love how Patti describes why she enjoys cities. “All these cities have their own personalities, quirks, weaknesses, and strengths. I enjoy spending time in them because of their architecture, their physical beauty, their history, their harbors, their people, and their food…”

Hi, Amy. What a gorgeous gallery! (I arrived here later than I wanted to this week. My apologies!) Your night shots are stunning and remind me how badly I want to get a lens that works in low light. Your Lumix shot is very crisp. Great clarity. I’m glad you included Miami–another great city.
They are all great but I especially enjoyed the night photos of London since it brought back memories of our stay there last year. I have photos of the Shard during the day but none at night so thank you.
I’m a Panasonic Lumixer too Amy- impressive upshots of SF and especially like the 1st one – I think Hays Galleria at night from the North side of the Thames
Wonderful photographs, Amy. I love the evening series. It requires particular skill to create wonderful images like that. My evening photo shots are still far from perfect.

Thank you for your encouraging comment. I tried… but without a tripod is challenging for me.
