This night photograph was taken from Clifford Pier looking towards the Fullerton Bay Hotel and part of Singapore’s Financial Centre. The Lantern, at the top of the hotel, offers drinks and snacks while guests enjoy captivating skyline views of Marina Bay. Many of the financial centre buildings were well lit and some of their company staff might be working with colleagues around the world.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Westendstraße 1 is a 53-storey, 208 m (682 ft) skyscraper in the Westend-Süd district of Frankfurt, Germany. The structure was completed in 1993 and together with the nearby City-Haus, forms the headquarters of DZ Bank. In 1995 it won the "Best Building of the Year" award by the American Chamber of Architects in the multifunctional skyscraper category. The tower is the third tallest skyscraper in Frankfurt and also in Germany.
The building, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, is similar in style to an older building by the same architects, 1250 René-Lévesque in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The building is a reinforced concrete structure with a perforated facades and flat slabs. Each floor height is around 3.6 metres with a floor area of 950 square metres. The facade consists of fine, golden granite, giving it a white and bright appearance from afar. The building was designed by architect William Pedersen. The characteristic ring beam at the top of the tower (known commonly as the crown) is a reminiscent of the Statue of Liberty, but is also intended as a reminder to Frankfurt's history as the city where German emperors were crowned. The crown faces towards the old part of Frankfurt where the coronations were held at the Frankfurt Cathedral. The 95 tonne steel crown is heated in winter to prevent the forming of icicles which could endanger pedestrians or cars on the street below. The design for Moshe Aviv Tower also called "City Gate" skyscraper in Ramat Gan was inspired by the building.
Was never happy with the original image so when we went past thought I'd give it another go, quite pleased with it.

From the boat, the view of New York City’s Financial District is breathtaking; the sleek glass towers rising sharply against the bright blue sky, their reflections shimmering on the water. The Hudson River glistens in the sunlight, its gentle waves catching hints of gold as the boat glides forward.
This was taken from the platform of the West India Quay Docklands Light Railway Station looking towards the Canary Wharf Station. The stations are very close together on the northern edge of the financial district. There is a nice spot on the far end of the platform where this sort of shot can be taken. At this time it was getting close to sunset.. The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A68 with a Sigma 10-20 mm lens at 12mm.
3 images for HDR. The image was processed with Photomatix 6. I selected in Photomatix the area where the train was moving and chose the plus 2EV image to be used in the processing of that area for more movement. This is readily done by drawing a selection and then right clicking to choose the image to be used. Because even with this there was not a lot of movement in the train I added extra with Topaz Lens Effects zoom. This was done by completing a selection of the train and then adding a mask to apply the effect only to the train
Additional processing included Topaz Adjust. Then a brightness adjustment layer to hold back highlights and increase light in some shadow areas. The bright red of the train and blues of the railings are natural and I used a saturation adjustment layer to bring down the saturation in the reds and blues to make it more natural

The Lincoln Financial Building in Greensboro viewed from Friendly Shopping Center on this lovely spring day in 2019.
i guess i like street shots for the fact that you dont necessarily need any central point of focus. u just capture the scene as is and get the over all mood of the shot.
i had to clone a person out of this shot, and i suck a cloning but i did my best !

Close up candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. A little too close as my lens failed to focus properly and his leading eye is a little soft in 1:1 view but I love the shot anyway. Enjoy!
