Julius Shulman Documentary

what did I learn about Architecture photography?
  Architects try to make their work unique. The composition is crucial to architecture photography. How to be different to others is a significant element to photographers.  Julius does vast amount of architecture photo with nature. He paid special attention to details in every architecture he shot. He is always able to catch some elements even the architecture owners do not recognize. Recalled his words, camera is not even as important as photographers eyes. A wise photographer needs to contain the ability of framing. Lighting is the element that he cares about. No matter the photography is shot during day time or at night, he manage to control the best lighting for his photography.

Kelby Training-doubling the sun

Three things I learn from the video
1. Framing the picture with your eyes before shooting. Make sure to contain the elements you want in the picture. It is important to think about the composition before starting working.  Also, photographers need to realize what kind of adjustment can be done with photoshop and what kind of adjustment cannot be changed. Good photographers would contain as much good elements as possible.
2. Adjust the focus point to the degree you are comfortable with.
3. Some small details can make a huge difference. Just like in the video, he noticed there was shadow around the model's waist.
