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.

    Alex is very personable. I enjoyed the area. I feel as though more teaching could have been done. Most of the class kept asking him questions and it turned more into a question and answer for whoever he was talking too.

    The sun was just beginning to come over the mountain range. The clouds were moving fast which created the streaks. Someone had made a ?teepee? out of logs. I felt this added more to the photo.

    Title: "Spring Light"I took this photo on a spring afternoon, drawn by the contrast between the bright yellow dandelions and the dramatic, cloudy sky. The soft sunlight filtering through the leaves added warmth to an otherwise moody scene. It was a quiet moment that I wanted to preserve.Nikon Z5, 24mm, Enhancing colours ins post processing

    I was on an island tour of Barbados, and we stopped for lunch at a house serving as a restaurant that had a scenic view. After our lunch we were given less than 15 minutes for looking around and to grab photos. I had seen the boulders and knew I had to have my tripod, so I went to our shuttle grabbed my backpack and tripod. I was going over potential shots in my head. I made it to a cleared area and started setting up my tripod and camera up knowing I didn't have much time. I decided I wanted to

    This Tigress took a long swim to cool off from the soaring afternoon heat exceeding 100 degrees. We waited for more than 2 hours to get our vehicle close enough to have a clear shot of her and her three subadults, resting along the water?s edge nearby. The offspring slept and stretched while she kept a keen lookout. Captured in April 2025.

    This ground to sky upward lightning was captured on May 1, 2025 near Bandera Texas using a full frame digital Nikon with a 28mm lens. I had the ISO set to 200 and the aperture at F/9 focused to infinity. It is a 30 second exposure. This was a very lucky shot as I had just moved the camera to view this portion of the sky moments before it happened. Although it looks like the lightning is coming from the ground, it's actually emerging from a tall radio tower about 6 miles out. The image is
