Urban landscapes: night in the city

SUNCOR ENERGY CENTRE AND THE BOW, CALGARY, ALBERTA

BowTowerWeb1

I purposely went to the top of the Calgary tower just as winter sun was setting. I knew I could get great views of fully lit skyscrapers and I was right.

The challenge turned out to be window reflections from the lights behind me. Sometimes I contorted myself crazily to block the reflections for scenes like this. BTW, when I made this photo, The Bow was the highest skyscraper in Canada west of Toronto. It’s since been surpassed by another tower nearby.
Nikon D90, tripod, polarizing filter.

An excellent night shot, captured at the right time, when there is still a bit of blue in the sky. Such a bustling city your have portrayed.
