9+ City Silhouettes
A city silhouette is the actual look of a city during sunset. This kind of setting lasts a few minutes before complete night time and people are treated with a great view of the city skyline. The shadow plays that occur during this time of the day create a different mood for the entire city and it allows the structure of different buildings and infrastructure to be seen differently compared to as when they are hit by direct sunlight during day time.
You may use our samples of Silhouette Photography if you want to have references on how you can take photographs of the city in a particular time of the day where the shadows created by buildings facing different directions look really well. It’s up to you on which angle you are to take photographs, but we sure do hope that our samples in the link provided can guide you to know the basics of silhouette photography so you can apply it in capturing city silhouettes.

The geography that is attached to the city can affect the entire look of the city once the sun is about to set. The surrounding bodies of water, the landscapes, the way the the city has been planned, and the features of the location create different shadows that can also result to a unique silhouette that can only be found in a particular place.
- The available buildings and infrastructures can also affect the city silhouette. The more elaborately designed these buildings and infrastructures are, the higher chances of getting shadows that are shaped interestingly there will be.
