Photography of buildings and places in Lincolnshire and the UK

buildings & landscapes

Photography of buildings and landscapes can be reduced to just two essentials - viewpoint and lighting.

With daytime exteriors the lighting is obviously dependent on weather but there will also be an optimum time to shoot any particular view.

This is often early or late in the day when the sunlight is softer and warmer in character as well as thrown more dramatically across the surfaces in the picture. Night time images can also be very effective and sometimes have the added advantage of hiding distracting urban details.

Photography of interiors usually features at least some level of artificial lighting. Although it is sometimes necessary to enhance this with a degree of additional photographic illumination, my preference is to keep atmosphere in the photograph by making full use of the existing ambient light.
