Cologne in Beautiful Light - Travel photography

Cologne in Beautiful Light - Travel photography


During one of my photokina visits, I had the chance to walk around the center of the German city Cologne.

The Sun was low and the colours warm, I had put my wide angle lens on and took the following photographs.

I have written in a previous post, that if you can recognise and use good light to your advantage your photography will improve dramaticly.

If I would have taken these photographs during noon when the sun is high in the sky and light harsh, the result wouldn't be worth posting.

Wow, amazing photos! I agree 100% that lighting is an important factor in photography. It can make or break photos.

It is so essential, I must remind myself sometimes to slow down and wait for the light to improve! :)

Lighting, lighting, lighting. Great stuff dude
