Nightscape In Rome

Nightscape In Rome

By @henrydo (USA)

The majesty of Rome's iconic symbol was perfectly captured by @henrydo: "Rome has been completely urbanized but they still kept many historic sites to preserve the history. I think it fits quite well with the hashtag. This shot was a composite of 2 separate images taken at a different time in the same location. Many people thought a drone is capable of capturing the lit-up night sky but the technology isn't that advanced, yet. If I win, I will donate part of my prize to a charity to fight plastic pollution in the ocean and save marine wildlife."

Eyeshape

Eyeshape

By @marcelvanbalken (Netherlands)

Dutch photographer @marcelvanbalken said: "It was very bad weather, a lot of rain. So I had to take this picture with my camera in one hand and an umbrella in the other. The urban space in a play of light and shadow form shows an almost surrealistic decor. Pure black-and-white, in which the photography of architecture begins to take on abstract forms, reinforced by the apparently disproportionate addition of the man. If I win, I want to purchase a drone to be able to photograph urban spaces from a height."

Brussels-based photographer @johandroneadventures snapped this aerial shot of the Home of Arts (HOTA) in Gold Coast, Australia: "Urban for me isn't only about cities and skylines, it's also about the integration of urban and nature.

Gotham City

Gotham City

By @karaemurphy (USA)

With this photo, @karaemurphy declares her love to the Windy City: "Chicago is one of the best cities in the world. The architecture, alone, makes it a must-visit destination. The food is wonderful and the people are friendly. Because the photo is a bit eery, it lends itself to the grit that big cities are known for. I wanted to capture this building (Two Prudential Plaza) at dusk. Since it was cloudy, I was able to capture a moody, Gotham City-type feel to the photo. Since Chicago is an urban hub, it's important to calibrate your compass outside the city so there's little to no signal interference when flying a drone. I was able to find a secluded spot near the building so I could keep the drone in sight. If I win, I would use part of it to donate to charitable organizations such as SF Camera Works which supplies young, underprivileged children with gear and education so that they get a head start on something they're passionate about. The rest I would use for a destination trip with my drone."

Standing Strong

Standing Strong

By @øystein (Norway)

@øystein spotted this flower growing through asphalt while driving back from work: "I was driving this quite heavily trafficked road when I saw this lonely flower standing strong among all the concrete buildings. Later that evening I brought my kit and hoped that it still was standing there. I think this flower symbolizes how strong an individual can be if they have to. An urban setting that depicts the struggle and strength of both nature and man, and how this can lead to growth and success."

Italian photographer @angiolomanetti waited for the nighttime to photograph these residential buildings in Odaiba, Tokyo: "When I saw these buildings, I was immediately struck by the genius of the architecture and the ability to make a building in something satisfying to the eye. I had just begun to mount the tripod when it started to rain heavily, which made me nervous because I wanted to ponder the scene well and look at the ideal point, but the situation had become complicated. I was about to give up shooting when I regained self-control and started thinking about how I could still get a satisfying shot. I hope I succeeded! If I win the contest, I'd like to go back to where I took the photo and try to do even better!"

The door to enter this power plant is sometimes closed, which makes it not easy to get in.

Organised Chaos

By @leemumford8 (UK)

British photographer @leemumford8 snapped the incredible architecture of Hong Kong view from above: "Sometimes you don’t get the same sense of scale until you look at something from above. As the day turns to dark, I captured the hustle and bustle of the city streets. As the street lights turned on, the roads lit up in this bright yellow-orange which I like to call the cities veins. As the light was fading, a longer shutter was needed as I wanted to keep the ISO fairly low to help reduce noise. As this was an aerial shot, it was a fine balance before camera shake was an issue. The visibility on this particular was so clear, conditions I’ve been unable to replicate since."

@cunodebruin never gets tired of shooting the busy streets of Tokyo: "It was raining for a couple of days when we were in Tokyo. I actually loved the moody vibes and started to capture that. It's so much more different than any other place I've been to. The vibe, people and streets are a special thing. This was one of my favorite shots from those days: it's always busy and there's always something going on in Tokyo. It's an urban vibe. The blue color, the neon, the tones, and rain make it a real urban shot. It almost has that Blade Runner feeling!"

With this photo, I wanted to transmit the feeling to be trapped in a city, in the middle of tall buildings with a high density of apartments, and the sky seems so far away. I took the photo at sunset so that the colors of the sky are an invitation to peace and warmth, to contrast with the main subject. It is challenging to take a photo in this place, as it is a famous spot, mostly for Instagram. I went a couple of hours before sunset secures a good spot. Shortly after this shooting session, the management of the building has added a sign forbidding photo taking as it became too disturbing for the people actually living in the building. unfortunately for them, it doesn’t seem to have stopped tourists."

It took me over 3 hours to get this shot because the tram line wasn't in the center of the bridge. It was difficult to get a really good looking composition: it took me many tries trying to get the tram the right distance away from the camera in order to make it look more in the center than it was. Also, no tripod was involved..."

With his photo, @dlr shows how Australia's third-largest city is adopting a very futuristic and forward-looking feel: "My wife, daughter and I were driving through this area late one evening, and we both commented on how complex this freeway interchange seemed. I thought to myself that this would look particularly amazing from the air, so I decided to go back the following weekend with my DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone, to capture the scene from above. This freeway interchange runs over the top of a local waterway known as Breakfast Creek, which is renowned for its mosquito population. Needless to say, I came home covered head to toe in mosquito bites. My body was itchy for a week! I was super impressed with how well this image turned out though, so I think that the pain of the mosquito bites was more than worth it. I'm hoping that Brisbane residents see this photo and feel a sense of pride, and realize just how quickly this amazing city and its urban infrastructure is growing."

@_kennyc_ entered the competition with an iconic shot from the London Tube: "Heading out later at night in London was something I loved to do - it’s a stark difference to the hustle and bustle of the day, giving photographers with completely different scenes to work with. The underground, in particular, is eerily peaceful compared to the mayhem of rush hour. At the time I had recently been inspired by a number of street/urban photographers who had captured some stunning scenes from various subways around the world - so one evening I picked up my camera and ventured below ground. This particular shot is an idea I’d had in my head ever since I watched the fantastic short film ‘Mind The Gap’ directed by Luke Flanagan. This iconic message/recording is played out throughout the Underground network and heard by millions of Londoners every day. It’s a message instantly recognizable to anyone that has lived in this incredible city, and something I wanted to capture in a picture. I knew the message wasn’t just played out through speakers, but painted in bright yellow paint on the floor of many tube stations. I thought getting a close-up shot of this while capturing the speed of a moving train would make for a pretty cool shot - I wasn’t wrong! While the Tube is iconic to many people around the world, ‘MIND THE GAP’ is iconic to Londoners."

Social Life

Social Life

By @olegp (Germany)

With this photo, @olegp reflects on how smartphones and modern communication tools can affect our relationships: "I think that this picture reflects very well social life in a modern urban environment. I mean, nowadays no matter how small the room is, we will not even notice that we are not alone in this room. We are more interested in our virtual friends than making new acquaintances in real life. In the modern urban environment, the inhibition to speak to a stranger has become too high and we flee into the comfortable environment of digital communication. But even traveling with our real friends, everyone disappears into their own digital world. This feeling I got looking at the couple in the upper right corner of the picture. The funny coincidence is that this scene took place in a museum of modern art (Tate Modern, London). People on the photo I shot are like an exhibit of this museum, portraying the modern human and social togetherness."

@tobboh loves to shoot at his local train station, as it's a place where there are many stories to be told: "Dresden Hauptbahnhof is one of the most beautiful stations in Germany with great architecture. This picture shows the beauty of the moment and how you can easily transform your time waiting for something in astonishment for the wee things right beside you. I was observing the people around what they were doing while waiting on the train. Some just stood there. Others, like this woman, took a shot of the sun rising and some just were listening to their music or hurrying to catch the next train. But you can only find the beauty around you when you take some time and even miss one train while admiring the morning sun. An extra story to that shot is that I got controlled by the police shortly afterward. They were wondering what I was doing and couldn't see any reason to take out the camera. I think I could convince them that there are many good shots around even though you might not see them in the first place."

16-year-old photographer @benskaar snapped his friend skateboarding over a drainage gap in an abandoned chemical factory: "I want people to feel intrigued by this photo, and wonder what the setting is while also being amazed by the height my friend achieved while skateboarding. The backstory: We arrived here mid-day and spent a few hours exploring the abandoned buildings. We found this gap with great backlighting so I got down low to the floor and was able to capture my friend Ollieing over the gap in the floor from a low angle. We had to be very careful with this shot. The floor was covered in shattered glass so we had to clear that out of the way to make room for him to skate and for me to lie down for the shot.
