Berlin

Grogues · 20 Apr 2014

I've just got back from a few days in Berlin, such a fantastic place.

1) Olympiastadion.

2) The Reichstag Dome.

2 superb shots Steve, nice work as always.
I went to Berlin when I was 15 on a school trip, wish I'd been into Photography back then, but keen to return!

Cheers Jake, much appreciated. Yes it's a fine city, so much to shoot but to be honest, I didn't manage as much as I'd have liked as I accidentally drank far too much beautiful German beer!

I live in Berlin for 2 years must dig out the photos from then, to show my kids

like the Olympiastadion photo looks like they done it up since I was there in 88/90

Nice shots Steve I like the Reich stag shot a lot
Is photography still banned in the Reich stag?

I have been to Berlin several times and yes the beer is good. It worth a visit Jake and its really changing rapidly.

Yes it was refurbished for the 2006 World Cup in Germany. It's a great city.

Love the second shot Steve - would have been delighted to have taken that!

Very nice captures! Berlin is a wonderful city!

A very good pair of images there

Thanks very much everyone, here's one more from outside the Olympic Stadium.

Can't fault those. Not as impressed with the outside shot. Looks a bit flat and grey, but the sense of scale on the other two is tremendous.

Fantastic architecture and you have captured that. Love the B&W, but whats that flare in the 2nd image, middle, 3/4 of the way up? (am just wondering, it takes nothing away from the image)

One of those sets that makes you want to see the place for yourself.

Thanks Carl, well spotted! The flare is actually the sun. It was behind me shining into the dome and reflecting on the mirrors.

I love the symmetry (sp?) above all in the first two! Smashing shots.

There's just something out of balance for me on the 3rd...
