Behind The Lens

Location

This phot was taken at Berlin Friedricshafen Bahnhof in Central Berlin

Time

The image was taken at the end of a long and frightful day. I arrived in Berlin on a Sunday night as the result of a work assignment. I don't travel to Europe often so was keen to make the most of the opportunity taking an extra day (Monday) to indulge myself. My main forte is Aviation Photography so I headed to the museums - Museums in Berlin are closed on Mondays. So this was taken on my way back to the Hotel as I was passing.

Lighting

The early evening sunshine was still streaming through the glass room which acted as a filter filling the entire station with light and very little shadow

Equipment

The main equipment I have is a Nikon D7100 with a Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 lens

Inspiration

As I moved from museum to museum my enthusiasm waned. However I was struck by the vast caverns of light within the Railway Stations (Berlin has a number them in the City Centre) and also the overall transport experience around Berlin, from the art-deco underground stations through to the vast caverns of the main railway stations

Editing

Not really apart from my normal adjustments and switching to Black and White

In my camera bag

I normally travel with 2 Nikon D7100' I have a Nike 70-300mm zoom as well as a 16-70mm zoom lens, the Sigma sadly died as it rolled off my car one day. I also have a Nikon 200-500mm zoom lens but I'm not too sure if its counterfeit or not so I tend not to use it. Not only that it is extremely soft the further up the lens you go. Weight is also a big factor as its not light

Feedback

The Berlin transportation network is full of surprised and very workable opportunities from the Arte-Deco period through to the ultra- modern - go for it!
