Brandenburger Tor, a photo from Berlin, East

Photographer's Note

Brandenburger Tor
Looking through my photos again and again in order to find the right one to post today, I saw that I hadnґt posted any picture of our Berlin trip yet. I was in Berlin for three days as we had a one week vacation in February. It was the first time for me to be in my own countrys capital and I liked the city a lot. Apart from the most famous things like the Brandenburger Tor, the Bundestag or the Berlin television tower we also went to some museums (the museum of Natural History is something really advisable!) and to some historical sights.
Unfortunately the weather wasnґt that good - sometimes it even rained - so I didnґt get many good pictures during the day. So I decided to post a photo taken during the Blue Hour. As I forgot to take my tripod with me I used an exposure time of 1/6 sec but it also worked quite ok.

Hi Jonas,
a good blue hour shot of this famous site. Especially since it was hand-held, well done man.

Joooooooooonas!!!!!!!
Da ist es ja das Bild. Muss sagen, fьr das, dass du kein Stativ hattest ist es klasse geworden, perfekte Schдrfe, trotz der 1/6 sec. Tolle Farben und super Bildqualitдt, alles top hier. Schцnes Bild des wohl bekanntesten deutschen Bauwerks ьberhaupt.

Jonas,
This is a great blue hour shot of this iconic monument. The blending of natural and artificial lighting is very good here. The colors are great and the photo has nice sharpness and detail. The deep blue sky provides nice contrast for the lit gate.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Jonas,
Amazing colours. The converging verticals are marked but great results given the shutter speed.
Best,
Jeremy
