Architecture Photography

Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.

In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

    Excellent combination of theory supported with extensive practice scenarios to demonstrate the extremes of each setting and how each complements or competes against the others. Jenny was a superb instructor who was able to make learning easy for me, provide lightbulb moments of breakthrough, and answer any individual questions from the group. I?m looking forward to practicing with a foundation of knowledge that will reduce my frustrations! Would highly recommend.

    I learnt a lot and came away understanding how to do freezing and panning and some good shots where it had worked. It was a really nice informal group. The small size was really helpful, and Jenny was really hands on and came round to check on each of us on a regular basis and was very friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed it.

    After a poor 2024 for Butterflies in the UK, it was great to see them thriving on our garden Buddleia in the warm sunshine. Visitors included this beautiful long-distance migrant the Painted Lady Butterfly which managed to sit still long enough for a photo. Taken with Panasonic MFT 100-300.

    The photo was taken at Linford Wood an ancient woodland in the heart of the city of Milton Keynes, UK on an annual fungi hunt. I used the Olympus 60mm Macro lens. We found a cluster and I was over the moon as not managed to find one before. Although called The Amethyst Deceiver I did not expect such vivid beautiful colour.

    I use photography to help with my mental health and I love capturing the Chimpanzees and most primates due to how expressive they are. Many of my images that I post (like this one) are to represent how I am feeling at that moment in time.

    This is a shot of one of the many species (over 300 types in the uk) of long legged fly. These are predatory and this particular one is about 5mm long. Shot taken with a lumix g9 and 45mm macro lens using a flash and diffuser. Ive loved bugs my whole life and recently switched to macro due to the smaller gear and my ill health stopping me carrying larger gear. I love that there is a whole world in a bush.
