Documenting historical, famous or modern
buildings has always been a popular subject for
ambitious photographers . The landscape mode
of the Dynax 5D is perfectly suitable for this job.
A small aperture with low ISO setting delivers
great depth of field combined with high image
quality.
The AF 20mm f/2.8 provides a great depth of
field and an emphasized perspective.
Lenses with short to medium focal lengths,
especially fixed focal lenses, are a must-have
item for any architectural photographer. In addition
using a telephoto lens lets you capture small
details or take pictures of buildings in full from
further distance.
TIP: To avoid converging verticals (parallel
lines seeming to converge at a vanishing point)
the camera should only be tilted upwards to
a small extent when photographing tall
buildings.
Reflections on a window can be used as a creative
element, or can be minimised by employing a
polarizing filter if desired.
TIP: Photographing in the "blue hour" at dawn,
when the street lights are lit can induce
very interesting and unusual lighting
effects upon the architectural scenery or
subject. Thanks to the Anti-Shake function it
is often possible to take images in the "blue
hour" without a tripod.
