A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Scaled shot of people in front of tall building (alien.top)

Probably a dumb question, but I want to take a picture of my project team at work in front of a 3 story office building. How can I keep the people normal sized but also get the full height of the building in the same shot?

Shoot the building the way you like it, then add them. Have them start closer to the building, take the photo, have them move closer to you...take the shot, move closer, etc. Rinse and repeat...

Shoot with a higher number f-stop so both your people and the building are in focus...f7.1? F8? Either use a powerful flash or shoot on a sunny day late in the day when the sunlight hits the building the best...

Sounds reasonable and easy. Thanks
