Bokeh in Architectural Images

[ernesto]

I love the old Architectural photographs that shows huge urban spaces, with perspective corrected, and in the same view can achieve a certain bokeh effect.

Architectural Images in my opinion, have to show spaces, and spaces can be understood through their limits. In other words, to show the space of a street we should include in the image part of the buildings facades on the two sidewalks. This forces the photographer to use extreme wide lenses.

Today with new technology we can correct digitally the images as for instance the perspective without the need of sophisticated cameras.

But the bokeh effect cannot be caught in the same way, as in the old times with the use of big format cameras.

I would love to read your point of view as well as samples of Architectural Images of this kind.

Thanks

I think you need to read less and take more pics with digital/hybred and LF and you will not ask that question.

LF wins every time if you have the time to do it.

Bokeh can be adjusted to some degree with photoshop. It`s importance is overstated and overvalued in my opinion. Most people look at the sharp and light colored areas and absorb the intent of the pic. They do not look at the out of focus and say how pretty the blur is,
