Yesterday evening I was out shooting the first time in the new year. I hadn't planned to take many photos because the sky was grey the whole day. I mainly went to Bamberg to scout for future photo shoots. As I climbed the Michelsberg to have a look at the beautiful church there the sky began to clear in the west. I knew what this meant and setup my camera and waited. The blaze of color that came with the sunset was intense. Everything glowed. I was shooting to the east here to catch the warm light on the church and the sunset was so intense that even the sky in the east was glowing in beautiful magenta tones.
I don't know why I haven't shot this street earlier. I know it for 6 or 7 years now and I think I even tried to photography it when I had just started with photography. But this photo I deleted from my archive a long time ago, at least I didn't find it yet.
To get this shot I waited for blue hour and then fired away a few long exposures between 30 and 100 seconds. Often my exposure was ruinged by cars driving into the street and the red lines didn't fit the mood of the shot. So i needed a frew tries till I was satisfied.
Hope you like it!
