How to capture the sense of time of traditional architecture?

Light plays a decisive role in a photo, and the light in different time periods can show the beauty of architecture from different angles. Before shooting, carefully observe the characteristics of the building and the best shooting position. Generally speaking, if you want to show the local details of the building, you can use sidelight shooting in the early morning.

2, prone shooting

Through field observation, it is found that ancient buildings are often built in rows instead of one or more rows. Standing on a high place and shooting down, the higher the geographical position, the wider the field of vision. You can shoot patchwork buildings, and with the influence of the environment, mist or slight drizzle can add a touch of artistic conception to the picture.

3. Backhand

When shooting, for tower-shaped or high-lying ancient buildings, you can take a low-angle upward shot to visually enhance the height and depth of the building. The picture guides the viewer's sight to a certain extent. Forehand and oblique shots can be tried, and different angles give people different viewing experiences.

4, the choice of lens

Each subject has its own different lens choices. Generally speaking, the whole building in the picture is shot with a super wide-angle lens. Against the blue sky and white clouds, the ancient buildings are more solemn. Depicting details with telephoto lenses will also make the details more symmetrical. Highlight the design beauty of details.

Step 5 create a sense of the times

Many old photos left over from history are not in color, so many photographers deliberately make the photos in black and white when shooting the theme of ancient buildings in order to create a sense of time.
