Architecture My first architecture shots

Hello
Each kind of photography has it's own technical aspects and challenges. That is to say taking portraits is different from nature shots or in this case architecture. With buildings the color temp mismatches can be difficult at times. I can be corrected but can be difficult at times. B&W eliminates that problem but obviously it's a different result. People in the photo add a sense of scale and interest and can be an asset but a distraction at other times. It depends on the number and placement among other things. In the first the slow shutter speed blur adds interest but at the same time it changes the overall feel of the photo. The first thing you notice are the people on the stairs so it's perhaps less of a image of the building and more about people in a building. The figures in the second one are incidental and add some rounded shapes to contrast with all the verticals and horizontals. The third would probably be enhanced with figure walking down the hall. A building shot really needs to be interesting to stand on it's own. An exploration of shapes and patterns and light and color etc. Like the photos of the Walt Disney concert hall, a very interesting building. As for the verticals and horizontals I know some say it doesn't bother them if they aren't. I'm not one of them, it bugs the heck out of me. It's the first thing I notice. When you look at a building with your eye things look OK but when the lens distorts things it looks unnatural. It's also like a photo of the ocean that some people post and the horizon slopes to the left or right. It doesn't, it's flat and if it isn't it takes you out of the photo. These things are easy to fix in pp. I did a quick edit to correct some of the distortion and posted them here. 2012-11-30_163350 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! 2012-11-30_163758 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! The nice thing about buildings are they don't go anywhere and can be reshot if need be.
Cheers
Greg
