Cities can get very busy, so if you want to take photographs of streets and landmarks before they get busy, then head out early. By heading out early you may capture some unique and beautiful pictures of attractions that are normally crowded and busy.
Take some photographs at night
My best time to take photographs of cities is at night
in the blue hour when the lights come on and often landmarks are lit up. By taking a long exposure of a city at night you will create a high-quality image The image may also include interesting elements such as flattening water, creating light trails, or adding atmospheric clouds. the best time to take night shots is after sunset before the sky gets too dark. This is called the Blue hour.
Include some local elements
Local elements can really make a difference to pictures of cities.
Such as including trams and other local transportation elements. Or even including local sweets and other items. people go wild for those kinds of pictures.
Use an ND Filter
This helps as you can add a sense of motion to busy scenes where people or traffic are slightly blurred. You can also make the water look completely smooth, and also make clouds look streaky. All these help create a unique picture of the city. For more tips on taking pictures using an ND filter head to Photography Tips – Taking Long Exposure Photographs with an ND Filter.
