buildings has always been a popular subject for
ambitious photographers . The landscape mode

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.

ARCHITECTURE

Reflections on a window can be used as a creative
element, or can be minimised by employing a
polarizing filter if desired.
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.
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.
