Urban Photography Art - Urban Landscapes In Photography. Abandoned buildings | Mark Blundell Photography. I don’t often include images of the people I explore with in my pics, but decided this was a good one of my friend RomanyWG, his son Ellis is sneaking into shot on the right too. It gives an idea of the scale of the facility we were exploring. The concrete structures were tainted with the ‘terres rouge’, it’s one of the most dusty places I’ve shot, not a great place to be changing lenses at all.

The hospital itself didn’t look as if it had been empty for very long, this part on the other hand was stripped and empty, a little decay was vivible, but the property was watertight so not too dangerous. I heard that a few weeks after being here that there were a couple of photographers inside when security started boarding up the entrance point! Click for a larger version.
I’ve included the initial image so you can see the difference between the before and after. More street-art HERE. Photography Subjects: Landscapes. Tips by Christopher O’Donnell 5inShare The subjects of landscape photography are vast and wide – and can be interpreted in many different ways. Rather than go into the specific subjects most commonly used (i.e. lakes, mountains) – I want to talk about the bigger picture – what elements make a successful landscape photo. This will help turn whatever environment you’re in – from the desert to the mountains – into a limitless canvas for your landscape images. Lines and Layers Two basic concepts in any area of photography are lines and layers – and landscapes are no exception.

There are no fixed rules in photography, but there are guidelines which can often help you to enhance the impact of your photos. It may sound clichéd, but the only rule in photography is that there are no rules. However, there are are number of established composition guidelines which can be applied in almost any situation, to enhance the impact of a scene. These guidelines will help you take more compelling photographs, lending them a natural balance, drawing attention to the important parts of the scene, or leading the viewer's eye through the image. Once you are familiar with these composition tips, you'll be surprised at just how universal most of them are.
You'll spot them everywhere, and you'll find it easy to see why some photos "work" while others feel like simple snapshots. Rule of Thirds Imagine that your image is divided into 9 equal segments by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines. Doing so will add balance and interest to your photo. Balancing Elements Leading Lines Viewpoint Depth. Viewpoint and Angles in Photography. Photo captured by Marco52 (Click Image to See More From Marco52) The point and shoot generation creates a problem when attempting to shoot great images. If you are one of these you are already at a disadvantage when trying to take a great photo.
Finding the nearest viewpoint and pushing the shutter button will hardly ever result in a great image. The point and shoot principle is the enemy of good images. When shooting an image you have to consider viewpoint as a key to a great composition. So, how can your viewpoint improve your image? 1. You need to know what to expect when going to a new location to take photos. 2. Once you know what there is and you’ve planned the basic shoot, use your feet. 3. This can be from lying down on your back to climbing a tree or nearby staircase. 4. You can have the perfect location, a great viewpoint and a unique angle but if the subject is too far away the image can look a little average, so, get in closer. 5.
