Architectural photography may seem fairly straightforward but to get good results consistently, there are some important points to remember before releasing the shutter. Lighting, white balance, converging lines, and composition are just some of the key factors to keep in mind when you are out to capture a great architectural photograph.
In this post, we have collected 5 free guides that will teach you how to make the most of any photographic opportunity that a beautiful building or a cityscape presents to you. They cover various topics related to architectural photography and are filled with helpful tips and guidelines on shooting in different photographic situations. Do check them out.
