Konigsplatz Revisited

The first time I visited this place, I was truly amazed at its architecture. The Propyläen was very impressive. Konigsplatz may be considered as part of the Museum areas in Munich. A few meters away from the Propyläen are the Alte and Neu Pinakothek.

I found it stunning to take the picture of the landmarks in Konigsoplatz at night because the other distractions can not be seen, such as scafoldings and other irregularities.








Spent my Sunday night revisiting Konigsplatz

Making the most of my ND8X

I stumbled upn 2 fountains at the Universitat (can not change my "a" umlaut) of Munich. and how gee, why dont i try to use more of my ND8X filter. So this fountain was a very good sample. The flow of the water became silky smooth and I was pleased to see the result of the photograph.

It took a while to get the exposure right, around 30 seconds and it was a bit cold, nevertheless it was worth it!








Seigestor at night


This is one of the places which i have photographed over and over again.
but this time its different, i equiped myself with an ND8X filter to prolong my exposures and lowered down my ISO to 50. it took around 40seconds to get one image, but it was well worth the wait.

Tailing lights were superb and the exposure was dead on, i did not make too many adjustments on the photograph itself. i just let it stand out.

Here are some photos of the Seigestor at night.




An afternoon at Schwabing

There were also some interesting places which I stumbled upon my walk to Schwabing, like the big statue of a man at the GiselaStrasse U-bahn. There were a lot artists along that stretch.

Some pictures i took yesterday
