EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM
Gives an ultra-wide angle view of the
world on APS-C cameras. Perfect for
capturing dramatic landscapes and
an entire scene when shooting in
restricted spaces.
EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM
A flexible ultra wide-angle zoom
lens that gives a spectacular view
of architecture when used on a
full-frame camera. Perspective is
exaggerated, particularly when the
lens is aimed upwards at
tall buildings.
C
ityscapes are filled with photographic
opportunities. It might be reflections in a glass
tower block. Or the sun setting over famous
landmarks. Even the morning commute can make an
incredible subject to shoot.
Try capturing sweeping panoramas and impressive
architectural photos. Ultra-wide angle lenses are
useful as they let you get more in the frame when
space is tight and you can’t move back any further.
Plus, looking upwards with such lenses can add
drama and exaggerate perspective.
Alternatively, you could use a telephoto lens to
pick out details – modern architecture is full of
abstraction. Isolate a few floors of an interesting
building or use reflections to your advantage.
If you are after a more natural view of architecture,
you may want to avoid the converging perspective
that appears when looking up at tall buildings
with wide-angle lenses. Professional architecture
photographers find this distracting and often use
tilt-shift lenses (like the TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II) to
avoid the effect.
