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.

    Title or Location: RSPB Ham Wall
    I was wondering around RSPB Ham Wall heard a noise just above my head and saw these two long tail tit fledgling flitting amongst the branches begging their parents for food. They then settled on the branch closest to me and sat relaxing allowing me to take some photos. They were as interested in watching me as I was in photographing them!
