How to photograph ancient buildings?

In fact, in ancient architecture photography, the most important thing is its elegance. In fact, most classical buildings are no longer gorgeous because of disrepair, but the taste of classical art has been well reflected in the details. Shooting the details of classical architecture can be said to be a shortcut of photography technology.

Sometimes in order to set off the atmosphere of ancient buildings, the use of light is even more important. Watch carefully how the light works according to the points you want to highlight.

Does the angle of direct light cast a shadow on the details you want to know? Or do you think those shadows have played a positive role in the picture and formed interesting light and dark patterns?

If one side of the building is not well lit, the other side may be better, or you may have to come back to shoot at another time. When shooting architecture, the sense of sky is an important condition.

A clear sky or a stormy sky may produce dramatic pictures, but it should be avoided as much as possible in a dark sky. Extreme weather conditions, such as mist or fog, can add new content to the picture.

I think everyone knows the Taj Mahal. I think anyone can shoot from this angle. The reason why it is different is that the use of sunlight and morning fog adds a little mystery to our eyes.

Because some houses are not coherent and integrated, we can also take pictures of some of them to reflect local customs and characteristics. Sometimes we feel that the buildings around us have nothing to shoot. I can tell you responsibly that you are tired of aesthetics.

Think classical architecture is too rigid? Too old? Let's wait for the storm! Although we don't recommend taking pictures in thunderstorm weather, it's really exciting to get the above picture.

Still an old saying goes, the building itself will not move, and what kind of effect will be released depends on the photographer's grasp. After all, this dramatic picture is not suitable for everyone.

Finally, I suggest that classical architecture is not only a place of interest, but also a good material for taking pictures. Usually, the buildings that best reflect the local characteristics are the houses where ordinary people live.
