I shoot a lot of cities for National Geographic Traveler, and unlike in landscape photography, which can be tricky under a noonday sun, there’s a lot to shoot in a city when the sun is high. For example, when shooting a city I look for the sun bouncing off of glass and steel buildings. This kind
of light can only be captured in the middle of the day—early and late the streets are like canyons. Whenever I see those blinding spots of sun shining off of windows, I look across the street. When in Hong Kong, I was thrilled to see that the historic Central Police Station was lit with crazy patterns of light bouncing off the skyscraper opposite. —Catherine Karnow
Photo Tip: When shooting in cities, look for the sun hitting steel and glass buildings and look across the street; the light can often be alive with interesting patterns.
