Blog Notes pgs.184-189

Camera Settings

• Select a smaller f-stop
• Use a bigger camera format for the most detailed images

Lighting

• Inside buildings, different kinds of lights are used
• There are incandescent lights(regular bulbs), slightly more orange
• Quartz lights (modern spotlights), somewhat yellow
• Flourescent lights, greener
•  To correct a photography being shot under incandescent bulbs, use a deep blue 80A filter

Camera Support

• If you like slow, fine-grained film and lots of depth of field you will use slow shutter speeds with a tripod

The Big View

• An image that show you the whole building is what most commercial architectural photography relies on 
• Prospective Distortion appears as strong converging lines in a building, where the sides of the building angle in toward each other instead of looking parallel as they are in reality  
• The photographer must also decide whether to shoot straight on or from to the side
