Even amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, let's find moments of relaxation. It might ease your daily stress. Why not find calming urban landscapes with your camera in hand?
This time, under the theme of 'Urban Escape', we introduce five tips for photographing urban landscapes.
Find the Balance Between Nature and Urban
Use a wide-angle lens to capture parks and riverbanks. By capturing moments where skyscrapers peek through trees or city lights reflect on the river, you can take soothing photos that harmonize nature and urban settings. The soft light of early morning or evening especially highlights the beautiful contrast between nature and architecture.
Utilize the Contrast Between Sky and City
Photograph the skyline along with the sky. The blue sky or sunset contrasts with the straight lines of buildings to create a beautiful landscape. Incorporating a wide sky adds a sense of openness to the photo. Clear days or days with moving clouds are especially recommended.
Capture Quiet Moments
Find quiet moments even in city life. By broadly capturing serene moments like people reading in parks or relaxing in cafes, you can soothe the viewer's heart. Embrace the city's buzz and enjoy the city life.
Photograph the Quiet Night City
Night reveals a different charm from the day. Use a wide-angle lens and tripod to capture the enchanting nightscape filled with neon and city lights. By capturing light trails, you can express the intersection of motion and stillness.
Venture Out to Find the Boundary Between City and Nature
Venture to the outskirts of the city to photograph places where nature and urban meet. By using a wide-angle lens to capture forests or rivers meeting the city, you can feel the harmony between nature and urban settings. The moments when twilight or dawn light shines create an especially magical atmosphere.
How was it?
When living busy days, your view tends to narrow. By looking at urban landscapes through the lens, find moments that soothe your heart. Take your camera and set out to discover a new side of the city.
