Selecting the camera angle

Separately want to mention the shooting of the arch when the image is framed as if a certain frame. To avoid excessive contrast of the illuminated space and the dark walls of the gateway, the exposure is measured in light of the frame, and the walls and arches better illuminate the foreground flash a little power. As an alternative method - if there is a tripod you can use the technology, HDR.

Often the problem is the wires, poles and other unattractive things that get in the picture. In further digital image processing to remove them would be not difficult. However, to facilitate this task, try to sit at the outset so that unnecessary artifacts were on plain areas of the walls, the sky, asphalt.


When selecting the camera angle to consider the position of the sun and other light sources. It is desirable that the light fell on the building at an angle, that is, the light source is behind and beside the photographer. This coverage will emphasize building decorating items, and by varying the illumination of the walls, show the three-dimensional object. The position angle of the sun will provide an opportunity to catch a beautiful glare on the windows, especially in the morning and evening when the light is sufficiently low in the sky. This coverage will help hide the flaws of the building or the surrounding landscape , the picture is a contrast and catchy.

Upper and lower point shooting


Depending on the vertical position, distinguish a normal, upper and lower point shooting. Normal is about shooting with the height of human growth. It allows you to send the form to the building such as we usually see.

The low point gives monumentality and grandeur, gives the impression of a larger structure. Combined with the sharp foreshortening obtained when shooting wide angle at a short distance, there may be a pressing sense of impending masses (eg, bridge). When using the lowest point of the survey, the background for the building is often the sky. Fluffy white clouds against a blue, color transitions at sunrise and sunset unusually decorated with photos. Stormy sky, especially when combined with low lighting facade facing the sun, creates a mood of anxiety and gives the whole scene of the drama. In contrast, the gray and dreary sky, overcast uniformly gloomy rain clouds, not the best way affects the expression of the image, and, unless the plan provides for the transfer of the photographer is not just this sense of melancholy in such weather, the lower the angle should be avoided.

Shooting in rural areas

The top point shooting underlines the scale of the image space, shows the air space. Shooting from above reveals the overall plans for the image and diminishes the significance of each structure. Previous high altitude at home like children's toys. Special effect can be achieved when taking pictures with a bird's-eye view (from the Ostankino tower, a helicopter or airplane). In that view appears non-obvious from the ground pattern of streets, neighborhoods, roads and rivers. We are dealing not with the architectural ensembles, with a picture of the city as a whole. Even more interesting to shoot in rural areas: similar to colorful patchwork fields and neat gardens of the cell, with a clear layout and a tiny house characters.

The top view is original, partly because it is not easy to arrange a shoot in such conditions. It is associated with romance. For example, a smart tiled roofs of old cities like invited to wander through it, and night shooting cities give a sense of mystical flight of the slumbering city.
