Soon we will be out shooting architecture. For a preview assignment to this type of photography, lets do some searching on the internet and find some unusual buildings to check out.

You will learn more about exact types of architecture photos and how to shoot them, but for now lets just look at some cool buildings.

Select 5 of the following buildings and do a google search on them. Find your favorite photo of each and post it on your blog. In addition, please do some research on the building itself.

5. Is there information on how much it cost to build?
6. Is there a reason the building was created or the history of the building itself?
