architectural photography Vancouver


Shoot at twilight for those interiors which
look dark during the day and have big bright
windows. You could shoot during the day
and combine your exposures and do some
work in photoshop. But just shooting at twilight
can save you all that trouble. Just wait for the
outside light to fall to a level near that of
the interior light.

What to shoot on overcast days





On cloudy or overcast days good subjects
are waterfalls and forests. On a sunny day
the water on the waterfall would be burned
out by the bright sun and the rocks would be
too dark. Similarly, the shadows would be
dark in the forest and there would be pockets
of burned out highlights from the bright sun.
So go for a hike on a cloudy day and shoot
a lot in the woods.
