The urban environment offers an exciting array of subjects to photograph, even in the smallest of towns. In the time it takes to walk a street or two, you can photograph panoramic skylines, people up close, at work or play, abstract architectural details, frenetic street activity, peaceful park scenes and so much more. You can capture elements of the past and present through the city's architecture in one carefully composed street scene, then, within minutes, frame up the most recognisable landmark in the city. This book gives you the practical skills and creative techniques you need to capitalize on the beautiful world right on your doorstep
