How to compose a composition in architectural photography?

Show magnificent buildings with horizontal frames.

Horizontal frame is a common frame format when shooting buildings and landscapes. It is very suitable for displaying all kinds of pictures with wide vision, especially symmetrical pictures, which can give people a very stable visual experience. The use of horizontal frames can make the picture look more imposing.

The horizontal border is more conducive to expressing the width of the building, and the use of large depth of field makes the picture more atmospheric. )

Matters needing attention in shooting horizontal frames

Choose aperture priority mode, set a smaller aperture, get enough depth of field, and make the distant view and close view in the picture clear.

In order to ensure the image quality, the sensitivity should be set to ISO 100-200 as far as possible.

Use a tripod to keep the picture stable.

Use mullions to represent towering buildings.

The mullion is suitable for representing towering objects as well as objects with large spatial span. When shooting buildings, using vertical composition can give people a very strong sense of depth and increase the feeling of towering buildings in the picture.

Vertical frames are used to highlight the height and straightness of buildings, giving the picture a sense of depth.

Raise your head and protrude the building into the sky.

There are many high-rise buildings in the bustling city. Looking up, there are many high-rise buildings and there is a feeling of going straight into the sky. Looking up and shooting the building will get this effect.

When shooting, first of all, we should lower the camera position as much as possible, adopt a vertical upward angle, and even shoot on the ground. In addition, it is suggested to use the ultra-wide-angle lens of 10- 16mm, so that the picture contains more architectural images and the perspective effect of the picture is stronger.

Looking up, the building is radial, and the contraction in the center of the picture and the expansion around it have great visual impact. )

Overlooking these buildings

Standing at a height overlooking the whole city, you can get a "clear" picture effect. For photographers who want to know about urban architectural planning or take a panoramic view of the building, the overlooking angle is the best choice. Take a bird's eye view of the whole city, and all the beautiful scenery is panoramic, and the visual effect is very good.

All we have to do is to find a high point, set up the camera, set the camera parameters and choose the lens with appropriate focal length.

Overlooking the building complex, the whole city has a panoramic view, and the picture presents a brilliant scene of thousands of lights.
