UNIT 2 - TOWNS & CITIES - AO2 - Architectural Photography

In my previous study for AO2 I wanted to experiment with reflections and find out how Bokeh techniques and use of high/low key lighting can be used effectively to create a variety of interesting images.

This time I want to spend time photographing buildings and bring out their interesting details through still images. Techniques that I believe I should try to focus on are:

- Use of lighting

- Use of Angles

- Composistion

- Setting* & Depth of field (*setting as in the place the shot was taken not camera settings)

For this shoot I grabbed my camera, tripod along with a 35mm F/1.8 & 50mm F/1.8 prime lenses. Over the day I took a variety of photographs all in different locations with the techniques I have mentioned in mind as I was out. Here is my work:

"Corners"

(ISO:100. Aperture: f/1.8 . Shutter speed: 1/1000.)

"The furnace awakens.."

(ISO:400. Aperture: f/3.2. Shutter speed: 1/60.)

"Waterfall"

(ISO:400. Aperture: f/3.2. Shutter speed: 1/60.)

"Passageway.."

(ISO:100. Aperture: f/1.8. Shutter speed: 1/1250.)

"Tiles.."

(ISO:400. Aperture: f/9. Shutter speed: 1/100.)
