Here I take you through a visual journey of Islamabad never seen before. For some of these photos I have had to go to Margalla hills and then hike just to capture the sunrise. On a clear day with some clouds the views of sunrise and sunset are stunning.

I use Canon 60D with Tokina 11-16mm and Canon 6D with Canon 24-105mm. Settings are different for each of the photos above and depends on the lightening and various other factors. I shoot in full manual mode.

January 19, 2016 at 2:36 amJust cant believe, is this the sane city I am living in? Lol! Marvelous shots, just spectacular!
The Silent Traveler
January 19, 2016 at 5:08 amHi unza,
It depends on your life’s routine. Now a days life is too busy and mostly people spend their day in offices and night in front of computers. I also have almost the same life routine but as a passionate landscape photographer and an avid traveler I try to take out sometime for myself to explore and capture moments with my camera.
Islamabad is a beautiful capital city and you cannot imagine how beautiful it looks when the sunrises while the whole city is asleep or people are getting ready to repeat their life’s daily routine cycle once more. π
