Looking at my older work, I realise that if I HAD to specialise into a commercially viable genre, I would probably most enjoy Architectural Photography.
Whilst I like portraiture, I prefer observational work, and do not see myself (yet) as a studio photographer.
I enjoyed the work I did on Yr 1 Places, and I like the variable poles; from representing something as true to life as possible, or creating abstract images from the built environment.
Here is an article and collection of images from Smash!ng Apps
Architectural photography can be broadly considered to encompass views of the exteriors and interiors of domestic, commercial, religious, institutional, and engineering structures, as well as records of the evolution of towns and cities. Today, we are showing you 50 Stunning Examples Of Architecture Photography. The credit goes to all those talented photographers who taken these excellent photos with their efforts, imaginations and creativity to give us a chance to see these photographic wonders from their creative eyes. This list is not long in numbers but I promise you that when you start browsing them in details it will surely refresh you and force you to know more about these photographers. Click on the images to go from where the images has been taken and learn more about their creators and to appreciate them.
You are welcome if you want to share more Stunning Examples Of Architecture Photography that our readers/viewers may like.
All the images are copyright of their respected owners and creators. This post is about just to show their creative ideas and inspiration wonders to the world. Please contact us if anyone want to remove their work.
I have felt a bit dis-enaged with my imagery of late.
The more I learn, the more I realise that the images I take for the purpose of the course are not always the kind of images I want to take in the future.
This sis't a reflection of the course, but my growing awareness of the breadth of imagery that is out there, and the huge gap in their (other practitioners) ability and my own.
I don't think I am alone, and in any creative industry there is a point when you wonder what to do next, and if there is a worth while out put at the end of your efforts.
I missed a lesson about the future of image making and where it could go, but I like thinking about the possibilities.
With digital has come many advancements, like HDR and High Definition. I recently saw a camera phone with 3D imaging technology and it does beg the question - where next?
Here are a few articles and products I found of interest.

This just might be the best camera ever on a phone. And with all-new optics, it just might be the only camera you need. Because behind every shot, you’ve got 8-megapixel resolution and a custom lens with a larger f/2.4 aperture. Not to mention an improved backside illumination sensor, excellent auto white balance, advanced color accuracy, face detection, and reduced motion blur. It all means that no matter how many people, how much light, and how much action you capture, everything looks exactly as it should. And just wait until you see the photos. Learn more about Camera
Advanced optics with a custom lens, a larger aperture, and a new sensor mean amazing photos.
The iPhone 4S camera gives you 8 megapixels — that’s 60 percent more pixels than the camera on iPhone 4. And they’re engineered with a higher, full-well capacity to collect even more light. With more megapixels and more light, you’ll see a dramatic difference in the resolution and details of your images.
More hardware, for less hardware The EVO™ 3D doesn’t require you to wear anything special to get fully immersed in its 4.3” 3D QHD screen. From watching movies in 3D, to taking 3D pictures, to capturing your own 3D video, nothing more is needed by you. Except the desire to be WOW’d.
Built for capturing 3D With its dual 5 MP cameras, giant 4.3” QHD screen for a viewfinder, and intuitive camera button, making 3D movies and taking 3D photographs with the EVO 3D couldn’t be easier.
Showier and tellier Wirelessly stream photos, music and videos to your home entertainment system from phone. Feel like adding some dimension? You can share 3D videos via HDMI to your 3D HDTV. And when you feel like sharing for real, the front-facing camera allows you to wirelessly video chat with friends and family anywhere.
A foundation built for growth Not content to stop at glasses-free 3D, the EVO™ 3D was built with a superfast 1.2Ghz Qualcomm® Snapdragon® dual-core processor running on 4G. Making downloading, posting, commenting, watching and playing faster than was ever possible.
Share more Not only does the EVO™ 3D let you share like never before with it’s amazing QHD 3D screen, but it also allows up to 8 devices to wirelessly connect to it so that they can share in its internet access.
The very first light fields were captured at Stanford University over 15 years ago. The most advanced light field research required a roomful of cameras tethered to a supercomputer. Today, Lytro completes the job of taking light fields out of the research lab and making them available for everyone, in the form of the world’s first Lytro Light Field Camera.
Lens
The Lytro Light Field Camera starts with an 8X optical zoom, f/2 aperture lens. The aperture is constant across the zoom range allowing for unheard of light capture.
Light Field Engine 1.0
The Light Field Engine replaces the supercomputer from the lab and processes the light ray data captured by the sensor.
The Light Field Engine travels with every living picture as it is shared, letting you refocus pictures right on the camera, on your desktop and online.
Light Field Sensor
From a roomful of cameras to a micro-lens array specially adhered to a standard sensor, the Lytro's Light Field Sensor captures 11 million light rays.
The Light Field
Defining the Light Field
The light field is a core concept in imaging science, representing fundamentally more powerful data than in regular photographs. The light field fully defines how a scene appears. It is the amount of light traveling in every direction through every point in space. Conventional cameras cannot record the light field.
Capturing the Light Field
Recording light fields requires an innovative, entirely new kind of sensor called a light field sensor. The light field sensor captures the color, intensity and vector direction of the rays of light. This directional information is completely lost with traditional camera sensors, which simply add up all the light rays and record them as a single amount of light.
Processing the Light Field
How do light field cameras make use of the additional information? By substituting powerful software for many of the internal parts of regular cameras, light field processing introduces new capabilities that were never before possible. Sophisticated algorithms use the full light field to unleash new ways to make and view pictures.
Relying on software rather than components can improve performance, from increased speed of picture taking to the potential for capturing better pictures in low light. It also creates new opportunities to innovate on camera lenses, controls and design.
About Living Pictures
The way we communicate visually is evolving rapidly, and people's expectations are changing in lockstep. Light field cameras offer astonishing capabilities. They allow both the picture taker and the viewer to focus pictures after they're snapped, shift their perspective of the scene, and even switch seamlessly between 2D and 3D views. With these amazing capabilities, pictures become immersive, interactive visual stories that were never before possible – they become living pictures.
