Adding Drama to Cityscapes with Vertical Shafts of Light

Adding vertical shafts of light to your cityscapes can transform a beautiful skyline into a dramatic work of art. Using Singapore’s colorful skyline as an example — with its glowing towers and vibrant reflections across the bay — this technique emphasizes scale, energy, and atmosphere. By stretching light into both the sky and water, your photos capture not just the look of the city but its spirit and pulse.
