Berlin

A few from a recent trip to Berlin.
Reichstag Berlin by wirepic, on FlickrI don’t know if this counts as architecture but they were certainly part of the streetscape.
Line-up by wirepic, on Flickr
Berlin TV Tower by wirepic, on FlickrNice set fergie, the cars are great though the fin in the bottom right corner
catches the eye a bit, where these taxi’s? I like the angle of the tower too well done.Thanks Jenny. The cars are old Trabants left over from communist East Germany. You can take them for a tour around Berlin. I had a drive in one once. I kept knocking it out of gear because the gear shift is on the steering column and the car is so small my knees kept knocking off it.
really nice set. The first one is great, with the silky sky. id try to brighten the shadows a little. i know this can be difficult at shoot time without blowing out the bright areas.
3rd one looks like a scene from a scifi movie! very cool, great angle and composition. only criticizm is its the tiniest bit soft. great set.
Nice shots. Are there many Trabants going round Germany? They seem to have an almost cult following, and I vaguely seem to remember U2 brought over a couple to be raffled off to raise money for some charities in the early 90’s, as they used a handful of them suspended over the stage, rigged up with lights, and I seem to remember a couple of Trabants being driven round Dublin for a couple of years after that, I wonder what happened to those cars?
Thanks all for the comments.
fguihen: the 3rd shot was handheld at high iso. Hence the softness.
np72: The only trabants I see are those that belong to companies doing tours.
