Ready, don't aim, fire. This is a shot I took in Angelino Heights on a historian scavenger hunt. I had the camera in my hand; I bent over and just fired. I had no idea what was going to come out, and I think it's a pretty good image. I only took one shot. The image was taken at an f/8 aperture, and a 100 shutter speed, using my Canon 50D. Some of the images I shot later were some of my first night time shots and I will include those in anlater post. I love photographing architecture. It is my favorite types of landscape to shoot, urban landscape. Im really looking forward to my Documentary Landscape assignments as I will be able to shoot architecture more. I love the repetition, angles, and colors of architecture.
Did you have the camera set on auto focus? I also like the way the camera angle exaggerates the roofs and the changes in the flights of stairs. If you had carefully composed I don't think that would have been as interesting as this "from the hip" shot!
ReplyDeleteI agree with jan, what really makes the shot work is the angle it was shot in. Its always fun seeing dramatic angles and stairs
