Go 10 or 20 miles to the left or right

Nikon D750, Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM Art Lens, ISO 100, ƒ/8, 4 sec
Sometimes looking for that perfect angle requires more than moving a foot to the left or right, sometimes it means driving 10 to 20 miles around the subject. This is what I was doing yesterday in Portland, Oregon.

Nikon D4, AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR, ISO 100, ƒ/8, 1/250
I Googled best places to see the Portland skyline and then we drove to a few of those locations and tried to get a different angle.

So these are three that I was willing to share from our adventures in finding the establishing shots for a video package I am working on about Chick-fil-A having their Grand Opening in Portland Market.


Tips


  • Google images of a city and see what pops up.
  • Look for great places to shoot the skyline
  • When is best time to photograph from those locations
  • Shoot the variety of images so you have choices
