I love taking photos like this. I was in my hotel room, sitting with an espresso, clicking the shutter every so often. It was a grand cityscape under a uniquely colored sky.

One thing to keep in mind when taking an image like this, shot through the glass in a window. Keep your lens hood (or lens, but better with hood) directly against the glass. Or as much as possible against the glass taking into account the scene you wish to capture. Doing this will eliminate most or all of the reflections from the glass. Also, the use of a telephoto lens will shoot right through any dirt or other foreign objects on the glass. This image was created with a 300 mm f 2.8 lens. This is a digital image shot at f 16 at 8 seconds.
