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?

Wider lens. People closer to the camera, building filling the frame in the background. A 35mm with your group together in the middle of the frame should do if you have enough room to back up for the three story. Otherwise you need something wider.

If you want both the building and your team sharp you may need two shots. One with the building in focus. The other with your team in focus. Then do a depth composite in post.

Unless you want to show the people regular size, as in to scale with the building. Then they need to be closer to the building and farther from your camera.
