Perth City Sunrise
I took this shot from Kings Park at sunrise when I was in Perth in November 2016.
Shot with a Fuji G617, Velvia 50 film and the scene was metered using a Sekonic light meter.

An oldie, inspired by Andrew Wurster's latest pics.
6am, city awakening, camera perched rigidly on a glass baluster for 30 seconds.
I've just posted a new lengthy musing on the concept of 'travelling light' for night photography on:
Los Angeles, CA
Boys & girls please do not attempt to do this. Last Wednesday, I was driving during rush hour traffic through downtown while I took this picture. I was on my way to meet someone across town.
My car is equipped with an "AI" (artificial intelligence) so it was driving by itself while I took slow shutter speed photos. hahaha...I'm just kidding! I had one hand on the stereering wheel, while holding the camera with the other; I simply pointed the camera through the moonroof and took like 50 pictures. :-) It was a lot of fun!

Earth is at aphelion today, which is the point in its orbit where it is the greatest distance from the sun (and therefore the day on thich the sun appears smallest in the sky). This also coincides with the time of year where the sun rises behind the city buildings as seen from Green Hill Reservoir. So with clear skies forecast, I headed to the reservoir this morning just at the start of astronomical twilight to get some images of the city, and then I took a series of images (about every 3 minutes) through a solar filter as the sun rose. Stacking all these together resulted in this image.
Mình học ngành vật lý, ra trường lo kiếm... tiền chẳng đụng tới nửa chữ vật lý. khi chụp tấm hình này nhớ đến vạch quang phổ nhiều màu sắc. Ồ vậy là không đến nỗi quên hết. !!!!!
An iconic sight from the Arc of Triumph. It’s worth the trek up to the top to get a spectacular view of the city.
Seen from the Lauderdale Tower in the Barbican. Thanks to Rocio for kindly letting me up there. That was a great photo shoot! One of the best views I know in London.
Kuwait City (Arabic: مدينة الكويت, transliteration: Madīnat al-Kūwait), is the capital and largest city of Kuwait. It has an estimated population of 63,600 (2006 estimate) within city limits and 2.38 million in the metropolitan area. Located at the heart of the country on the shore of the Persian Gulf, and containing Kuwait's parliament (Majlis Al-Umma), most governmental offices, the headquarters of most Kuwaiti corporations and banks, it is the indisputable political, cultural and economic center of the emirate.
The Liberation Tower (2nd highest building on the right of the photo) is the highest structure in Kuwait. Construction of the tower commenced before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990. It was meant to be called The Kuwait Telecommunications Tower. When the invasion took place, construction, which was almost half-way complete, was put on hold. However, the structure received no damage, and construction resumed after Saddam Hussein's forces were expelled on February 27, 1991. Upon completion in 1993, the tower was renamed the Liberation Tower, symbolizing Kuwait's liberation from Iraq. The tower contains a revolving restaurant and observation platform (in the first disc-shaped pod; now closed to the public for security reasons), and also houses radio and other telecommunications offices. The structure stands at 372 meters high (1,220 ft) at its pinnacle. The roof of the second pod on the tower is 308 meters high (1,010 ft). It is similar to the CN Tower because both contain a revolving restaurant, observation platform, telecommunications equipment and the same look.
As in all Middle East, the city skyline is constantly changing also in Kuwait City . The tower on the very right is a new addition to the city scape. Weather across Middle East has changed in last few days and Kuwait is experiencing humidity over 80% from its usual 10%. Change of weather has brought some clouds to Kuwaiti sky, which beautifully enhance colors in the evening sky.
