Do you want to take better-composed, more interesting photos of buildings? So do I. And in this episode, I will give 12 things that will help you take better photos of buildings. And here they are.

• Take one photo and get the best composition you can • Use the rule of thirds • Take a photo, then try a different focal length to get a different look • Take photos from different angles • Move back and forwards • Use leading lines • Find the best light • Capture intricate architectural details • Fill the frame • Use negative space • Convey the sense of scale of a building • Try a long exposure • Play with depth of field • Find interesting subjects to photograph • Don't be put off by overcast days • Give tilt-shift lenses a go • Explore old buildings • Go wider to capture the entire building, and a bit more • Get the building vertical • Then do this • Choose a particular building and get to know it

All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in (much) less than 27 (ish) minutes!

What is not to love? How utterly splendid!
