COMPOSITION
How do you capture the photo of a building?
There are so many ways of doing it but for me is the composition. It is where I stand and what I see. Second is the lighting.
Location
Where we stand determines a lof on what we see. The relative location of where you are and the location of the building. First is the distance and you elevation compared to the building. At times, to get a better view one need even to walk stairs/ladder or go inside another building to get the height or climb a nearby hill.Location has horizontal and vertical factors that what you see.
At times, by just moving a few metres away, we can see different views of the building.
PERSPECTIVE
It is about where you look at-straight,sideways,upwards and downwards. There, you shall discover something of interest to you.
INTERESTS
You see what attract your attentions. And ignore what is unfamiliar.You need more not just good eyes but also an open mind to see what is there and not only what you want to see. Not to mention your heart-your feelings.
CONTENTS
What to include and exclude in the photo? This is the most difficult in composition.
