PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS

2. Introduction
Architectural Photography is the taking shots of buildings and similar structures which
are both accurate representations and aesthetically pleasing of their subjects.
Architectural photographers have the skill and they use special techniques and cameras
to shoot.

3. pay attention to the direction of light
Paying attention to the direction of light will assist you to play with
the contrast, shadows, reflections, and textures.
High contrast levels can lead the view of the camera incorrect. If in case you ever
come across such issue at the time of photo shoots, you can handle the situation through
the exposure compensation mode.
Another trick is that click shots at different levels of exposure and put them together in
an HDR program. If it is done in a correct way, it can project a great picture.

4. PHOTOGRAPHY IS AN ART

5. shooting stunning silhouettes
To shoot a structure like the image in the left, during sunset, try to place the structure
between the sun and your camera.
Turn the flash off and even the expose for the sky. If the focus is too light then set
your camera exposure compensation to a negative value to make the scene dark and
then take the shot. The results will be in front of you.

6. PHOTOGRAPHS OPEN DOORS INTO THE PAST

7. use weather as an advantage
Unlike wildlife, portrait, still life, or landscape photography, exciting
architectural photographs can be produced in all weathers.
For example, the photographs of a building on a clear day may strike the
audience as something pleasant and a bit bland.
Revisit the building when there is a mist rising from the earth, or a storm is
brewing overhead. It will look a lot more different for sure.

8. PICTURES ARE THE IMAGINATION YOU WANT TO CREATE WITH REALITY

9. post-processing
Post-processing usually involves contrast, color, and sharpness correction. If you think
you need to do a few tweaks here and there to correct the composition of your
photograph, do not hesitate to do so.
Plenty of free post-processing software is available in the market that you can use for
this purpose. Here are a few for your reference:
Paint.Net
GIMP
Darktable
Picasa
Rawtherapee
