Land of the Palm Trees and Skyscrapers in Honolulu

At the 18th floor of the hotel, we get a sweeping view of the skyscrapers in Waikiki, dramatic clouds in action, and the palm trees at the nearby park. It's been a blast watching the skies change every other minute - from rain to sunshine to rainbows and everything in between. 

Denver's Mountains + Skyline Views from City Park

From a hill above City Park, you can see the outlines of mountains and downtown skyline of Denver. 

It was a couple hours before sunset and the clouds began to form across the sky, breaking up into different, astonishing patterns. I decided to add on extra effects to this, giving it a soft orange glow. 

Fog + Sky Rooftop Views of San Francisco Skyline

Remarkable cityscape views from a rooftop bar in SOMA of San Francisco, offering skyline views of downtown, including the Salesforce Tower (being partially shrouded in fog) and other notable buildings towering into the sky. 

The Snow Effect: Tokyo Tower and Skyscrapers Imagery

Breathtakingly charming Tokyo at night. The Tokyo Tower shines brightly surrounded by dozens and dozens of skyscrapers nearby.

I was looking through different advertisements and layouts in a magazine and came across some snowfall designs and was inspired to create an image showcasing snow falling in Tokyo.

Navy Pier's Refreshing Night Lights and Skyscrapers

Another chilly night in the city. A walk around Navy Pier offered some of the best views of the city with glimmering lights of the skyline, a bright, full moon, shining trees and clear skies.

Manhattan's Evolving Skyline at Sunset

100 floors above overlooking New York's stunning views across lower Manhattan and midtown.

Came at the perfect time to capture the day views and sunset views as the sun started to set, offering beautiful hints of yellow and pink hues across the entire skyline, with dusty, fading colors.

Aerial View of Boston Beaches and Skyscrapers

A little bit hazy with an overcast sky, but the layers of beaches, the ocean, and the skyscrapers can still be seen from all the way above.

New York Harbor View of Lower Manhattan Skyline

Taking New York City by storm.

A calming, scenic ferry ride from Staten Island to Manhattan is a must-see (and free!) for everyone. The views of the Statue of Liberty, Lower Manhattan region, and all the bridges connecting the boroughs together makes for a fun, interesting 15 to 20 minute ride across the waters.

Empire State of Mind: Welcome to New York

That view from seventy floors above the Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center offers one of the most exceptional perspectives of the Empire State building and its neighbors. Surrounded by other astonishing skyscrapers in all sizes and designs and bright blue skies all around, this captures the essence of New York in a heartbeat.

Sapphire Blue Skies and Luminescent Skyline Lights

Pier 7 at Night Part V: Super dry, cold, breezy evening in the city with the deepest blue sky ever during twilight. It's fascinating how quickly the skyline is evolving in the city. New additions add extra light to the sky and the classic line of lights decorating the edges of the four Embarcadero Center towers always offer a delight during the winter months.

The Painted Ladies: Eclectic Victorian Houses in the City

Nothing can beat this view at Alamo Square: a magnificent, colorful row of Victorian and Edwardian symmetrical houses deck the street, with the breathtaking city skyline in the backdrop, rising above in the distance. To add on to the charm, I decided to give it a lighter, dreamier feel by including a hint of a pastel pink filter to the image.

City Skyscrapers Covered in Snowflakes Imagery

In the middle of fall...but never too early to think of winter.

I decided to change this perfect blue sky day photo with a pink filter effect and add snowflakes to it. I was inspired by a Christmas card I received a while back and thought why not?

Sweeping Cityscape Skyline Views of San Francisco

After making my way to Corona Heights Park, I captured this bright view of downtown San Francisco's ever growing, rising rows of skyscrapers. I loved the rock formations at this park so included them at the forefront of this epic scene.

Sensational and phenomenal skyscraper skyline view of Seattle at night with intriguing lights, the famous Space Needle and the bay surrounding the city.

City of Dreams: Pastel Landscape and Skyline Imagery

The world of San Fransokyo - the beautiful mix of San Francisco and Tokyo blended together. Inspired by Big Hero 6's depiction of the two combined cities, I decided to create a version with the unique skyline of San Francisco surrounding the famous Mount Fuji of Japan. Merging these two together gives a blended, futuristic look to the city by the bay. I also added pastel, pink hues, lightened the overall image, and added the infamous fog to the scene.

Lights and Water Reflections During Twilight Hours

Pier 7 at Night Part III: After the sun sets across the city, the colors in the sky begin to fade and darken. Lights are gleaming and glowing all over the skyscraper skyline. Straight rows of lights are aligned on the walkway, radiating their own reflections all across the waters during the twilight hours.

Cutting-Edge Innovation: Futuristic Skyscraper Arises

With all these new skyscraper innovations (advanced, twisted, revolutionary ones) thriving in the future, it's great to look into the now and observe current modern shapes. This one looks like any other ordinary skyscraper on the surface level....but with the light reflecting at specific angles of the building...it is beyond captivating.

Reflections of other nearby skyscrapers and streams of sunlight give this various tones, textures, and contrasts. I lightened the overall image a bit, sharpened the exteriors, and gave it an extra green-blue effect to further highlight the soaring tower.

Light Up the Night: Pier 7 Embarcadero Walkway

Pier 7 at Night Part I: One of the most classic, breathtaking views of San Francisco at Pier 7. This consists of a long walkway with ornamental handrails, antique benches, and rows of lights captured by photographers every day. A bonus plus? The mesmerizing skyline view in the near distance with lights illuminating the edges of skyscrapers and the famous Transamerica Pyramid sitting front and center.

Reflective Cerulean and Teal Skyscraper Perspectives

Cerulean and teal blue colors light up the sky....in these soaring skyscrapers, expanding the city skyline. I lightened the image and included extra ocean hues to add onto the flair.

Take a Look at Our Most Favorite Pyramid

This Transamerica pyramid in San Francisco is famous all over--this practically defines the skyline and just one look at this pyramid...and you've identified the city by the bay! This popular landmark has been taken by so many people and in so many different angles, neighborhoods, heights, and locations. I decided to approach the building and take a closeup view of it and was amazed by the spectacular details of it.
