On architectural photography skills with light

The most basic features of photography is transient in nature, it can make fleeting moment precisely ground now, we want to make the most of this moment, to carefully observe the architecture and the built environment in a variety of light of subtle changes to capture wonderful moment, make photos of buildings and the built environment is not only real, but also beautiful.

The most basic features of photography is transient in nature, it can make fleeting moment precisely ground now, we want to make the most of this moment, to carefully observe the architecture and the built environment in a variety of light of subtle changes to capture wonderful moment, make photos of buildings and the built environment is not only real, but also beautiful.

Outdoor architectural photography primary light source is the Sun, it's the light angle, brightness, color will vary with location, season, time and weather conditions are different, and can directly affect the screen architecture gradation and atmosphere, which quickly changed the building.

The light of the characteristics have a deep understanding and ability to use it to create a picture of the change of atmosphere is gradation and photographer artistic talents in the most important component. Ideal light not only need the patience to wait, the more you want to try to discover and take advantage of it. Do you want to pay more attention to the observation of the Sun is how to make the building vibrant, and how to make the building become dull. The photographer to the climatic conditions are likely to take the impact of the results of a scientific foresight and shooting to have a good sense of-the-spot. A site can attract readers photos sometimes after many cameras can produce over and comparison.

Sunrise and sunset is a day in the sky color most dramatic changes in the moment, is to shoot the best architecture backlighting shining moments.

In light of the action, the downs of building a Visual outline the main elements of the building space, texture, colors were all were lost in the shadows. Take this class works when backside of the building blocks that you want to wait for a dramatic sky and careful observation screen tones and changes in cloud location, seize the opportunity to capture wonderful moments. Exposure to the measured readings from the sky, the building was underexposed and the detail is lost in the shadows, outline silhouette becomes the subject of the picture. Backlit photos pictures sometimes better than in bright and clear with light photography can reveal the building's physical characteristics.

Day in sunny side gorgeous, structures appear bright, contrast, color strength low light more bright, so you can highlight the external characteristics of the building, the construction of three dimensional truly passed to readers.

Against photographing buildings with special attention to the changes of the light angle formed by the shadow effect that you want to use those simple, shape sharp and orderly shadow as an integral part of the screen. Sunshine through the lighting to display architecture, and the shadow by contrast to performance of the building.

In the evening, all the scenes are bathed in Golden radiance, picture a day can't be atmosphere.

Evening sunshine nearly horizontal and light, it is not only capable of generating significant shadow to enhance the building of the stereoscopic effect, but also to show the shadow parts of the hierarchy and material surface texture texture. With this low point of the ray architectural features to special master shooting time, premature the atmosphere of the picture will not strong, too late is near tall buildings at any time to prevent the Sun suddenly obscured and missed opportunity. Sunset will not last long, sky bright color will fade away soon, after a few minutes, the golden light of beauty becomes a frustrating purple shades.

As the sun slowly in the West, the natural light will become increasingly weak, city building slowly render in a flood lighting, construction of external characteristics will also be a dramatic change, thus contributing to the night shot provides a completely new areas.

In order to be able to better showcase architectural form and detail levels, sunset, lanterns, is ideal for photographing buildings at night. At this point the sky also maps the Sun's rays, and can clearly bring out the outlines of the buildings, and from the atmosphere of the reflected light is not only to demonstrate building of dark levels, and with urban light colour temperature differences between forms, to the screen to create a wonderful color effects. Night shot of the key is to be good at capturing the night mysterious atmosphere.

Filming at the modern urban architecture, you can also pay more attention to the glass curtain wall on the reflection of light, may find a lot of creative opportunities.

Curtain walls in different lighting conditions vary in color, dusk is unpredictable, shooting to good at observing, as far as possible the curtain wall of gold, silver, and other reflective light utilization, performance of the light to the building of the expression. Curtain wall reflection also often results in very interesting deformation, so that the reflection of the lack of authenticity of buildings, shooting the curtain wall (that is, the main building) in the shadow, and the curtain wall of the building is reflected by a smooth, bright light and shadow effects.
