Do not throw it out. I am going to show you how to use as a great tripod for architectural photos.
Buildings will look impressive when you include details in the foreground. If the building has a beautiful garden in front of it, you may want to add as much as possible. If you want a good photo of the structure, add a tiny bit of the garden.
Place your mobile on the selfie-stick and lower it as close as you can to the ground. Tilt the phone up and find the right angle.
Selfie-stick, little foreground, emphasis on the building and the trees.
Photograph the building showing very little ground and tilting the camera up. In this case, I wanted to show the lovely trees on the left side and so I didn’t show much foreground.
Take another photo of the building with as much foreground as you can. In this case, I included the plants in the image because they elongate the foreground.
Selfie-stick, more foreground, geometrical shapes, less trees
I lost the beautiful trees on the second photo but I gained geometrical shapes in the foreground.
Take another photo and come closer to the building.
The lower part of the trees on the left are distracting. Photograph a few more images so that you have more choices later on.
Choose your favorite image and edit it. I use the Snapseed app.
In this case I am keeping two final images and discarding the other photographs. But, I already know which is THE favorite one for me!
The selfie-stick allows you to play around with low angles, and you don’t have to get on your knees or lie down on the floor. I also use the selfie-stick for flower photos and many of my videos.
There is another great option to get everything in your image: Foreground, trees and sky but that will be in another post. 🙂
