Architecture Photography Technique

Image
In this post I thought of shedding some light on a most used technique by architecture photographers. Before doing so, let me ask you how many times have you been to a famous landmark, monument, building etc and wanted to capture the sight (that brought you there in the first place) sans the people. Now the thing with a beautiful piece of art or architecture is that you will always find the place crowded with admirers. Given you are perhaps not going to visit again or perhaps just want to take a memorable image of the place but how good will it be if all those tourists, visitors and admirers were not present. Well hope is around the corner as you can still do that using your camera and lens.

Well, the trick is to use a tripod and select the view you want. Now the important thing to observe

Vivid Sydney 2014 - Opera House Projection This is how it would look if you were to splash paint from a paint brush...not that you would want to do. IMHO the best time to see the Opera House. Keep tuned for more projections from this year's Vivid event.

Together Forever - Engrossed in Vivid Sydney

Image
I was lucky to get this beautiful couple just at the right moment when I was searching for an interesting subject in the backdrop of Martin place . Best of all, they were lost exploring the lights of Vivid standing there for time enough to capture this image. Could not perhaps summarize Vivid Sydney better than this! The experience is worth it, if you have not been there already remember to add it to your planner for 2015. More captures of Vivid to follow soon..
