However, unless the buildings themselves have architectural features that signify complexity, it is rarely possible to end up with attractive pictures. When architecture blends in the environment, as is the case of being surrounded by sparse vegetation or groups of people, a much more attractive scene is achieved than in a deserted or concrete/asphalt dominant area. It is true that derelict or run-down buildings can also offer good opportunities, albeit their state will not elicit joyous reactions to most viewers and may even be offensive for heritage reasons. | ||
Very tall or vast buildings may present difficulties for framing. Most inexpensive or general purpose cameras, as the ones used in smartphones, do not have the same optical compensations as professional cameras. This results in slight aberrations such as curvatures, that are more noticeable on such large subjects. With more modest cameras it is better to look for smaller areas of interest that are still able to overcome the apparent monotony. Reflective buildings, particularly office centers with large glass panels, may require experimentation in camera positioning to avoid glare, particularly on sunny days. Heritage or older buildings benefit a lot from shadows cast on them or having their features accentuated by other means such as reflections or temporary interventions. | Very tall or vast buildings may present difficulties for framing.

<code>''Resist the temptation of filming the entire building, as it may bring no interest in the resulting picture. Prefer captures that emphasis certain features and avoid monotony. Different angled shots may offer more attraction.''</code> | <code>''Resist the temptation of filming the entire building, as it may bring no interest in the resulting picture.
