Architecture

Wednesday, February 20, 2008


Architecture is a fascinating subject to photograph. There are so many different points where you can get great photographs from. It is slowly becoming one of my most favorite styles of photography as I learn more of the skill. Here are two examples of architecture that I snapped a photo of. I used my Canon Rebel for these two.




This is the construction of some South-west Asia huts, known as SWA huts. They were being constructed to improve our living situation while in Iraq from twelve people to a hut, to around nine. These huts aren't that big, probably around the size of a large garden shed. We would have bunks stacked, and everyone's stuff was crammed where we could get it. in the rafters, under beds, hung on walls. It's nice to have a bit more space now.


I like these pictures with the open roof. It really allows the blue sky to come down and contrast with the wood. The natural light and the angle of it allows for the shadows to zig-zag around the building. I used the rafters here to block the sun out just enough so that I wouldn't get a huge flare in the lens. It also helped to darken the image slightly.
