What i need to think about when preparing my shots for my architecture set

I need to think about the direction and harshness of the light on the subject, whether it be a building or inside a structure. I can use lighting to emphasise the angles and shapes of the building or structure. 

Using a wide lens can help me get across the size and structure of my subject. A lot of architecture photographers use wide lenses.

Use the white balance menu on the camera to really pull out some of the shapes in my subject, especially when working inside of a building, as this can help to pull some fake light to grab the same impression as if i was using natural light outside. 

If the sun goes down and i can no longer use natural light for my subject, use this to my advantage. I can create silhouettes as my subject. For this i need to set my exposure for the sky, and make sure my subject is inbetween me and the sun/ light source. 

Unlike a lot of other categories of photography, with architecture photography i can use all types of weather to my advantage. I can make a scene moody or happy, using the weather as my mood setter. 

Reflections can be used to create an extra dimension to my photographs. 

Use my subjects height. Exagerate a large building or a small subject.
