More Berlin at Night

TV Tower, Reichstag, and Brandenburg Gate Lasers (with the Tiergarten being the trees to the right)

Since getting a new tripod, I have to say that I have enjoyed going out and getting more and more night photography. Yes, it comes in handy for other things too, but … it’s well worth the effort to go outside in the evening with the camera and the tripod and get some fantastic shots. Here’s a few from between the Berlin Main Train Station, along the river walk, and up to (but not including) Potsdamer Platz….

Berlin Hauptbahnhof (main train station)

Tipi (teepee) am Kanzleramt (it’s a tent where they do musical and other performances)

Last but not least, a couple in Black and white

Alexanderplatz at Night

Not much to say today – but I’ll let the Autumn twilight photography speak for itself….

This year, between the 14 and 26 of October, they had something called the Berlin Festival of Lights. No, it’s not quite like the festival of lights in the US which consists of Christmas trees in a warehouse that have been decorated and auctioned for charity. Instead, here in Berlin, they haul out spotlights in different color and put them onto their most favorite buildings. They also host specialty “art” competitions that deal with the use of light in their works.

The local group that I try to participate in is trying to get a photography group organized, and this caused me to get out and make a bunch of photographs, at night, while fighting through the crowds. Night time photography is difficult, to say the least, but I’ve now gotten my photographs posted in a set on flickr.
