Thanks for letting us view your pics.

Juz some of my honest comments. They may not be correct, so correct me if I am wrong.

#1 Building appears to be tilting backwards. As the building has lots of vertical and horizontal lines. It will be good to let these lines lead to the objective. I would cut out some of the steps and allow the lines of the step to start from one corner of the pic and let the roof line start from the right corner of the pic.

#2 is good especially with the pic leading to the flag on top of the building. However, I think that there is not enough color contrast in the pic. I will either use a polarising filter to get a better color from the sky or wait till later in the day b4 shooting.

#3 & #4 is the same. I will use the lines to fill up the corners of the picture.

I have some questions. Are there any other ways to take picture of buildings? How do get a good perspective other than using a TSE lens?

Hi Eng Keow,

Thanks for your comments and suggestions... will definitely try with your approach. As for your questions on taking architecture like buildings, probably TSE is the only way to give "proper" prespective, unless you have a long ladder to claim up and align your camera's sensor plate against the building's lines. Am I right?

Still newbie in this area...

Cheers!

Not sure that TSE is the way to go leh. I see some shots by the pro's that gives a fantastic perspective much like #2 - no vertical line alignment at all.

ya... personally I like #2 too

Still need to shoot more and hope to discover the wonder of "wide"
Do you have any shots for share..... need to learn more too..
