Although some parts, especially the technicals, could now sound outdated for the contemporary architectural photographer, after reading this book I feel more respectful to the craft and I am grateful that nowadays the advancements in technology allows us to have great images with less (and lighter) equipment and a lot of the calculations behind a photography is not necessary.

Awesome chapter and explanations about sun movement and planning.
