Photography tips

• What is the best time to shoot bridges and a similar type of architecture? Early morning or late evening light will highlight textures and warmth to the scene but do not overlook bright days either as strong shadows will make statues and other detail stand out from the walls.

• If you wait for the sun to go down have a play around with long exposures and capture the light trails created by traffic as it passes you by. 

• Кeep an eye on your battery life, as you don't want it to drain, before you've captured your shot. 

• Do remember you will need your tripod and a remote release is handy if you have one.

• When you want to isolate detail pick up your telephoto lens.
