Create a mesmerizing aerial view of a bustling metropolitan skyline at night, captured by a drone hovering high above the city. Use a 24mm wide-angle lens with an aperture of f/4 to achieve a balance between depth of field and light intake. Set the ISO to 800 and shutter speed to 1/60s to maintain clarity in the dynamic lighting conditions. Glittering skyscrapers with illuminated windows should form a vibrant patchwork of colors, while streets below glow with trails of headlights and taillights, creating a sense of movement. The focal point should be a towering landmark surrounded by sleek modern architecture. A river or harbor should reflect the city lights, adding depth and shimmer to the composition. Post-production should include contrast adjustments and color grading to enhance the high-contrast neon blues and golden yellows, creating a futuristic vibe perfect for a modern desktop wallpaper.
