Streets Graffiti / street art

colfin · 01-22-2019, 06:06 AM

I wanted to document these couple extremely large wall paintings before the city tears down the building. Very challenging location since the art pieces are 20-30 meters tall and in a narrow alleyway so this is pretty much the best angle I can get on them. Not the greatest weather for colors to pop but such is the winter in Finland. Ideas, suggestions? I can take another trip there if anyone has good ideas how to shoot wall art.

Try to get higher, a staircase across it, or rooftop, and then take multiple partial photos and stitch them together with Hugin, like a panorama.

Unfortunately not possible, the area is very much restricted. These were both taken quickly from the parking lot. I can maybe take another try to see if there's any way to get to the roof but I don't think it's possible. It's an old abandoned power plant.

This might help combined with a panorama shot

In the circumstances I don't think you could have done a better job, great shots.
