Tradição e Modernidade | Berlim, Alemanha

Reichstag building and Paul-Löbe-Haus in Government district on the river Spree in Berlin

Pode pensar no governo alemão o que quiser. Mas quando se trata do distrito governamental, tem de ser apreciado como uma bandeira da arquitectura moderna em Berlim. O distrito ainda não está concluído; neste momento voltam a acrescentar alguns edifícios novos.

Inevitavelmente isto leva a um forte contraste com o Paul-Löbe-Haus de apenas 10 anos de idade, de um lado, e o histórico edifício do Reichstag, do outro. Agora, pode-se argumentar se essa combinação de tradição e modernidade é ou não uma mistura harmoniosa. Penso que é e é por isso que o caminho ao longo do rio através do distrito governamental é um dos meus lugares preferidos em Berlim.

Workflow: As often, to get this photo you have to get up early. During the day there are too many ships on the Spree and during sunset the light is not as good. Well, in winter you don’t have to get up that early, but it’s cold.

To get all the exposures I needed, I had to wait for 7 minutes of exposure time in total. It was so cold; the people passing gave me strange looks as they saw me walking up and down cursing.

In the post-processing there was not so much that needed to be done. The one thing that was really necessary was to replace the flags on the Reichstag building by a photo with shorter exposure time as the flags fluttered in the wind for minutes.

Get it On Your Wall

My goal is always to create the best possible and most exciting photos to do justice to the places where they’ve been taken.

Maybe this place evokes some good memory for you?

Or it’s a place which you always dreamed to be one day?

I wish a high-quality print of my photo will bring you a feeling of being there at any time!
