VOTE: Most Photogenic City?

Go to last post
I like San Francisco a lot too... I lived there for 6 years during and after college. New York City is also an amazing place to photograph and it's where I live now. But I have to say that of all the places I've visited, Santorini in Greece takes the prize as the most photogenic city. I haven't traveled much outside the US, having only been to London, Athens, and Santorini. Here are some photos below. You can see more at http://www.pbase.com/wtang/santorini_greece







These were all taken with a Minolta DiMAGE 7Hi.

These are wonderful. What are the last two? They are so futuristic!

... because when you are the good photographer as I know you to be, with some serious excercise in Photoshop en Photomatix for a while, you could do the same as I did.

This weekend I'll find some time to write down some of my workflow.

... thank you for the compliments, but I only am an ordinary amateur with some feeling for improving pics to the scene that I could have watched. Maybe not natural every inch, but also the old darkroom had the purpose of improving the stills of your observations.

In fact, only theme, composition, basic intensity and focus are crucial prerequisites. As I learned, cropping, handling light, contrast, local adjustments etc. are secondary things that can be tuned with software, and add the intended power to your images.

Next week I'll try to find some time to give a general step-by-step workflow including some intermediate images.

As for Cities, I love New York and SF. Chicago is also great.

trees, pretty buildings, and the like when you can cover a city entirely in concrete? Add gems like vacant strip centers, seventies-style apartment complexes with overflowing dumpsters (and probably shag carpeting), and abandoned Taco Bells and you have a photographer's dream...

...yeah dream on Paris and Venice with your cathedrals and palaces...you aren't a really photogenic city until you have one auto parts store per capita...
 
Santorini really is the number one city of greek pictures !

most postcards and commercials about greece is Santorini - because of the Blue/Red skies and white painted buildings !

I've only been to Skiathos and Skopolos myself - i really loved the greek style of building homes, in places that are impossible to do so :-D

Santorini it is !
 
What about Istanbul? That's Asia, never been there but I always wanted to.

I have been all over China and the whole country is a lust for western photographers, including the cities. But the most interesting thing of China was actually not the cities themselves but the people and their way of live, the markets, the hutongs, the food culture and the landscapes around Yangshou.

It is difficult to pick one Chinese city out of the so many: Beijing is off course very interesting and Lijiang is beautiful and very quaint, but a slightly bit on the tacky side.

Bill asked me if some of my previous photos were HDR, and I didn't know what he was talking about. Then Mario showed some outstanding shots of Paris and Venice in HDR - so I had to delve into it. Here's a shot I took of Memphis, Tennessee (famous Beale Street) with another variation of my sunset themes.
