Architecture Photography

Helene Binet

I liked this photo especially because it had a good angle, good lighting, and of course, the building looks cool

Rut Blees Luxemburg

This one is one of my favorites, because of how eerie the photo is, and captures artificial light in a dark urban environment.

Eddy Joaquim

I liked this photo because it's specifically focused on the building to the left and nothing else, with nothing obstructing the photo.

Capturing Movement reflection and photo's

The first thing I was able to learn from reading the article is that I can use different shutter speeds for different styles. For example, I can slow down my shutter speed to purposely blur my picture. If I use a fast enough shutter speed, I can freeze my subject in mid-air. I can also pan my subject, and make the background blur while the subject doesn't blur.
