Reichstag dome

Here are a few shots taken inside the Norman Foster dome at the Berlin Reichstag. All taken on Kodak 400CN, Leica MP, Zeiss Biogon 28mm

Outstanding, the way you have captured the light is fantastic. Lovely level of detail.

Louis - thank you.

We were lucky with the light that day. It would be fair to say that the weather we got in Berlin was a mixed bag - it was really pretty crumby on some days, beautiful blue sky on others. The hail was a low point...

These were taken at about 10 in the morning.

Fine pictures, all. #2 particularly resonates. I am also impressed by the tonal range. Would look great on paper on a wall. Congrats.

Gordon -

Fascinating subject, lovely contrast, geometry and tonal range.

Very nice. Good management of exposure in a challenging lighting situation. #4 is just mesmerizing to me.

Cheers,
Henry

Impressive architecturals....... nice contrast and lighting!

Superb captures to say the least, IMHO.

I can imagine how nice your last image in a large size would be.
Very nicely done Gordon.

Terrific place to photograph. They are all spectacular, and would look far better as prints.

I am impressed.

Is the Reichstag open on Saturdays?

Andy - can't imagine why you are asking...

Seriously, you have picked a great venue for the challenge.

Brad- the last is my favourite as well. That one probably will find its way onto the wall.

Thanks Azzo, Ed and others.

More Berlin to come...

Me too. Well done, Gordon!

And, Andy, I believe the Reichstag (the dome at least) is open for visitors every day
