The Neuschwanstein Castle, an icon of the Bavarian landscapes, seen from below like a giant who dominate on me and so, down before the king, I let this beautiful building play its role while I passed at its feet!

Behind The Lens

Location

Under the Neuschwanstein Castle, on the path for the panoramic bridge.

Time

It was late afternoon, I was going for take some sunset picture at the beginning of October

Lighting

I was shooting at the towers from bottom and I saw those flowers, it was curious and I only liked the view...

Equipment

Canon 6d and Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 Free hand and nothing else, maybe a polarizer but Im'm not sure of it

Inspiration

The little red flowers contrasting the green, the blue and the white dominating the rest of the photo

Editing

Of sure I cropped it a bit, the rest was the only adjusting light and shadows, nothing of difficult about the post procesing of this pic

In my camera bag

Canon 6d with Tamrons 15-30 / 24-70 / 70-200 (all f/2.8) Fujifilm X-T20 with Fujinon 35mm f/1.4 and Samyang 8mm Vanguard and Rollei tripods F-Stop Tilopa backpack

Feedback

I was enjoying to change the focus between foreground and background with the maximum shutter aperture, it's not a difficult work but is very nice to change the way of view the scene, normally a landscape photographer works on the maximum focus depth and this was a welldone exercise for me!
