Top architectural photo tips 1. Timing is everything
Experiment with light. Few subjects alter so radically with the changing og light as buildings. Any large structure can take on a totally new character depending on the time of the day it's photographed.
2. Change your point of view.
Don't go for the obvious angle. Take a long look at your subject and size up its "face". Only set a tripod when you've found the shot.
3. Isolate small details
A building or a structure can project character through small items such as decoration , art, or fittings. Keep your eyes peeled for unusual items that make up a building character.
4.Check your copyright
Some installations - such as the lights on the Eiffel Tower - are copyrighted. Check wheter photography inside a private building is allowed.
5.Side lighting is best.
photographing building that are backlit is hard to do well. Likewise , head-on lighting is brutal and reduces form. try photograph with sidelighting for best result.
6.Explore the darker side
Try a few shots for different style of photo. Most buildings look fabulous at dusk when they're lit but still some detail in the sky.
