Dom und Hohenzollernbrücke

[murali]

Shot at around 10pm. Great spot to photograph the Dom and the bridge at sunset/blue hour.

Looks really nice with the night lighting on these edifices. Beautiful shot.

Very nice way to work the light Murali. This is not easy lighting. I like how you got both in the same image.

It is very difficult to photograph the Dom in Koln (Cologne) as it is smack in the middle of a busy town, not dissimilar from St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC. I walked around it during the daytime and couldn't get a good shot. Then I noticed the bridge across the Rhein and was a walking path alongside the train tracks. I walked across the river to the other side and shot a few images photographing the Dom and used the arches of the bridge as a leading line. I felt it would look better at night and so I came back after dinner to shoot from the same spot.
