"5" Imprint at Broadgate Circle

avatar
@bemorephotos
A cool stride-by photo with futuristic, clean metal walls makes an eye-catching backdrop for a model shot. The massive "5" reverse-embossed number in the building adds an extra touch of character that makes this place one of a kind.

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
All months of the year are suitable to photograph the "5" imprint at Broadgate Circle.
To find the place empty, visit early in the morning before the busy business hours. You can also find similar lighting conditions during mid-day and late-afternoon.

Field tips

I recommend using a wide-angle lens (24mm) to capture the "5" imprint.
To create an overall sense of symmetry, I suggest standing directly in front of the "5".
Let your model walk by and use a continuous focus for the best stride-by results. Get creative!
