I already posted this in POTD last month. But I think it's my best skyline. I've yet to venture over to the other side of the city which I think has the taller buildings.

Seattle from the ferry with crappy P&S and a lot of post.

Second one is NYC from the top of 30 Rock. Not the best but I'm proud of it cause i did it handheld and it was a fun trip with my wife and daughter.

Port of Miami

Cruising into port: "Honey, you better get out of bed and come look at this. And grab the camera on your way!"

(Hand-held. Unfortunately, the tripod had already been sent out with our luggage.)

ISO 2000 f/3.8, 1/13, 25mm.
 
Amazing pictures man, what did you use.

Thanks! I was actually there for a while setting up for sunset (got there early) and clouds blew in and messed up the shot. So I stuck around until it got dark and took a few snaps, these were the best, IMO.

Both were shot same day using Canon 7D and Canon 35mm f/2.

Bench shot was:
ISO:100
f/6.3
6 seconds

Skyline shot was:
ISO:100
f/6.3
15 seconds

Here's a different variation on the bench I liked but not as much.

The top of 30 Rock is cool. I have to visit New York asap.
 
Lohja, Southwestern Finland, compared to the others this is crap but hey this was a while back.
I remember shooting in -17C and was out there for like an hour or so. anyway... as I am about to move to a new house and different city, this is history...

But where is that skyline?
 
Detroit, Mi, USA & Windsor, On, Canada

Detroit is basically the left two thirds of the skyline, including the multi-tower Renaissance Center.

The Windsor skyline is pretty much everything to the right of the Ren Cen plus the entire foreground.
