32 Feel-Good City Skyline Wallpapers

Posted by Gisela Gutierrez on Aug 5, 2011 in Photography, Wallpapers | 0 comments

Skylines and cityscapes are among the most popular subjects in photography. It is maybe because one does not need a sophisticated camera to take a stunning cityscape. Even a point and shoot will do as long as you know the most interesting angle and perspective in capturing urban scenes. Another most important thing that you should consider when photographing a city skyline is the proper timing. For most photographers, the most exciting time to photograph a city view is at dusk, when the sky turns soft shades of purple and blue, which is usually 20 to 30 minutes after sunset. Factor in the artificial lighting from buildings and you will surely get an image that is colorful and romantic. Of course for this kind of setting you a need a steady hand or for best results, always take a tripod with you. Also, when using cityscapes, always remember to put your focal settings to the lowest possible settings such as 18mm or below to get a wider perspective of the subject.
