Ok. Giliran saya untuk berkongsi. Saya gunakan guide2 dibawah untuk shot architecture, dan kalau tgk entry FP saya pun more on architecture. Hope dpt guide sape2 yg memerlukan...
Guidelines for Architectural Photographers
The purpose of these guidelines is to encourage slide and photograph documentation to be of consistent quality and to be accurately identified.
IN PREPARATION
Determine Goals
- Decide why you want to photograph (for teaching, research; personal reference collection; travelogue of your trip)
- Decide what you want to photograph
- Buildings by a particular architect
- Buildings from a particular period or in a particular style;
- Buildings in a city or country
- Urban environment (piazze, streets, etc.) —— ambiance & sense of place
- Sights which capture your interest at the moment
Conduct Preliminary Research
- Consult architectural monographs, survey books, city guides, maps
- Which buildings are historically significant?
- Which details of buildings are of particular importance?
- Are buildings still extant?
- Location of buildings/sites; orientation of buildings
- Compositional ideas from published photographs
- Practical advice on transportation
- Information about access/permission for photography in sensitive/restricted/non-public areas.
Equipment
Camera:
Use a reliable 35mm SLR camera (such as Nikon, Minolta, Canon, Pentax). Make certain the camera is checked and/or cleaned and replace batteries as needed before any photography trip. Test your camera by shooting a sample roll and have it developed before you travel and at intervals during your trip if necessary to be sure that you are getting the desired results.
Film:
Use color or B&W film appropriate for the intended kind of photography and lighting conditions, daylight, nighttime, outdoors, indoors, slow motion, fast action, etc.
Suggested Accessories:
- Flash attachment, especially useful for interior photography
- Good quality wide-angle lens
- Lens filters: polarizing filter or UV filter reduces glare
- Extra lens cap & camera batteries
- Light meter
- Tripod
- Timer, shutter-release
- Film shield bag: protects (to a degree) exposed rolls of film from airline's x-ray searching equipment. Tape film together to pack flat
- Compass
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Recommendations for keeping accurate records of your photography:
- Record everything systematically and promptly before you forget.
- Keep track of film rolls by numbering all film cartridges. Request film processors to retain the film roll numbers you assign to each roll to assist you in your film identification.
- Keep field notebook for recording shots using roll # and shot/frame #.
- Maps and plans are most helpful.
Identification of Images:
- Use a compass to orient view north, east, south, and west. Shooting direction should be noted using "v.t." (view toward) and "v.f." (view from). - A marginal diagram or sketch can help to clarify the location and direction of views.
- Give specific names for streets, markets, neighborhoods, villages, etc.
- Note additional information, such as variant or local names for buildings or places; the name of a patron or founder of a building, as needed.
- Use standard abbreviations for architecture.
Typical Photography Problems:
- Camera set at wrong ASA setting. Confirm ASA setting before shooting.
- Camera not working (not tested or checked before departure).
- Interior views: too dark or reddish/yellow tint. Use appropriate film for interior photography, consider all types of interior light (incandescent, fluorescent, etc.), confirm ASA setting, and use flash as needed.
- Weather considerations.
SYSTEMATIC ARCHITECTURAL PHOTODOCUMENTATION
General Composition
Show context: imagine that you are trying to explain the building/site to someone; use people for scale and distance, when appropriate, but appreciate that people in the image can also be a distraction. Consider logical sequence of documentation from overall views to individual details.
For an individual building, include:
- Overall view(s) to show the building in its present-day context. Include adjacent buildings, streets, parks or other open spaces, pedestrian or vehicle traffic.
- Overviews of all exterior sides; detailed views of parts of multi-level structures; significant exterior details; windows, stairs, balconies, decoration, inscriptions, tile work, and construction materials.
Interior access areas, main public and private rooms/spaces. For courtyards, shoot all sides, recording direction.
For a complex of related buildings (religious complex, residential area, university, market area, etc.) include:
- Overviews of the complex, showing people and their activities.
- Views showing the spatial relationship of the buildings to each other.
- The major/unique buildings, overview and details.
- Views showing examples of typical buildings.
For a section of a town include:
- Overall views, showing people and their activities.
- Civic/public buildings; market/commercial areas; characteristic residential quarters, old and new; typical streets; unique features of the natural and built environment which give the section its unique sense of place.
- Selected individual buildings and building complexes+
