Hey folks, this is the third of four articles I've written for Digital Photographer Magazine in the UK recently. This one is on Architectural Photography and was the 12 page spread 'big feature' last month.

I'll post up the remaining article in due course (low light shooting). If you want to keep up to date, follow me on Facebook. The previous two articles on HDR shooting and Interior Shooting tips can also be found on my Facebook page.

    Hey, thanks for sharing that!

    I have always wondered if you pro photographer guys make up
    the captions describing why a certain perspective has been chosen etc.
    after the fact or is it really a documentation of the creative process
    during the shoot? I never come up with such clever reasoning for why
    I am shooting a certain perspective in a shooting situation :D

    Well, one of the nice things about shooting archetecture is that you usually have a little more time to think about what you're doing.

    He hee, well yes and no. I quite often go into auto pilot on a shoot and reel off the shots I know I need pretty quickly. Yes there is rational thought behind it all but it is probably more instinctive than planned out. It's only when someone (a magazine) ask you to put it all in writing that you realise quite how much sub-councious thought goes into it.

    I'm also learning on every shoot and there are things that I know will work which I do every time, and other things that I try out from time to time and either use again or drop.

    But I do approach a shoot in the same way each time, and if I can get the time to plan ahead it just makes it easier on the day.

    I would imagine it's the same for wedding photographers, plan ahead as much as you can but be prepared to go with the flow if things don't turn out quite how you thought they would. As usual, experience counts.

    Cheers
