Parking lot, Allée du Stade, Berlin

(ISO 200, f2.8 @ 30mm, 3sec., 01:04) This is the parking lot of the French-German funfair in Berlin after midnight. Yes, I went into the funfair after it closed and I start with showing you the last image I shot that night. I assume the remaining cars in the distance belong to people working at the place because all visitors had left by that time.

Circus Krone

(ISO 100, f8 @ 25mm, 5sec., 22:03) There was a lady behind the window of the circus caravan. She was typing in her Apple laptop (you can see the logo in the original size of this image) and didn’t notice me at all until her colleague pointed at me and my tripod. They both looked at me which made me nervous. Should I pack or should I stay and try…

Behind the railway tracks (Berlin Alexanderplatz)

(ISO 100, f8 @ 15mm, 4sec., 22:13) I passed by this place on the way home. Heard some angry voices coming out of this urban pocket. I wouldn’t have noticed the place otherwise but when I turned my head to see what they were up to, I was immediately drawn in. Two guys had a fight over something and then one of them got in the car (with the lights…

Berlin Alexanderplatz

(ISO 100, f8 @ 22mm, 4×0,5sec., 21:40 – 21:46) This mini series wouldn’t be complete without the most famous place in Berlin called Alexanderplatz. I have to admit that I tried to avoid going there ever since I moved to Berlin. So this was kind of a challenge for me – and an experience. First thing I usually do is walking around the place trying to find a point of…

Breitscheidplatz, Berlin Charlottenburg

(ISO 100, f8 @ 26mm, 1/13sec., 21:20) One of the most iconic places in Berlin and by some regarded as an awkward yet typical Berlin combination of the old and the new, the cultural and commercial. On the left there is a part of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, the highrise in the center houses offices, restaurants and the Berlin Waldorf-Astoria and on the right is one of the oldest…

Potsdamer Platz Station, Berlin Center

(ISO 100, f4.5 @ 26mm, 0.6sec., 22:01) If there is one thing I love about Berlin, then it is the contrast in all possible ways. This image is in five minutes walking distance from the last one I posted (Matchbox) but literally it is worlds apart. I experimented with PS here, combining three shots in a smart layer stack and used the median filter to achieve a cleaner image. This…
