Architecture Photography

Saturday 08 March
Port Sunlight - 10am - 2 Hours

Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.

In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

Selective colour can be done in a couple of ways. You can find a subject with a strong dominant colour, a lady in red for example amongst people wearing drab colours. Or you can use a mode which some cameras have in which you can isolate a particular colour within a scene whilst all other colours are turned to B W. Either way this will be a session which will help us hunt down images and increase ones 'eye' for strong photographs.

    I found the event really enjoyable - Alex who lead the event, was extremely knowledgeable and ran the event at a pace that could be followed by all. I took so much from the time spent meandering around Port Sunlight, viewing everything in a totally different light. A thoroughly enjoyable event and one I would highly recommend.

    I went to Kings Parade, New Brighton as it was a sunny evening. At the time the sun was lowering into a bank of cloud but it was clear below it. As I was walking the beach I noticed people on a further sand bar that I thought would make interesting subjects as silhouettes. I then noticed a couple starting to cross the water and the composition began to evolve that resulted in this image. Nikon D4s, 80-200mm, f:5.0 @ 1/1250 with a whole stop minus EV.

    The image was made from the Farne Islands boat out of Seahouses, Northumberland. This was during the bird flu outbreak in April 2023 and landings on the islands were not allowed. Consequently all my images of the Farne Islands residents were made from a boat being tossed about by the waves. As luck would have it this image was the first of only three needed to get a usable image of this composition.
