Twilight is the most beautiful time to photograph cityscapes and architecture, and the great news is that it is not weather-dependent. It can be raining, dusty, smoggy, cloudy, or clear, and twilight pictures look good no matter what is going on with the weather. This picture of the Victoria Memorial in Calcutta, India is an example. There was a tremendous amount of dust in the air, but you would never know it from looking at the picture. It is important to use a tripod a low ISO (such as 100 or 200), and my recommendation for most twilights shots is daylight (or sunny) white balance. Regarding tripod use, don't raise the center column. You increase instability and risk taking less-than-sharp pictures.
