When shooting cityscapes, it's essential to focus on the details. There's always something interesting to capture in the city. The key to getting these details in a photograph is to frame your shots accordingly. You can add focal points and additional detail by including people in your images. You can blur your photo with the shutter speed to include the crowd, which will make your cityscape photographs more intriguing.

If you'd like to photograph the buildings, the best way to capture their character is to position your camera further back. This will ensure that the sides of the buildings are straight. You can also keep your camera level so that the buildings don't lean into the middle of the photo. By following these guidelines, you'll have an eye-catching photo of the cityscape. With a bit of practice and patience, you can take the right shot and create a masterpiece.
