Cross Border Photography

In my following post, I share with you some light paintings that we took on the bridge crossing from Germany to Poland. Once again there is a huge thank you in order since I met up with Danilo, Felix, and Tomas my photography friends from Görlitz. I was also accompanied by Nadia who has never been to Poland and the first thing she did was run over the bridge to explore how it is on the other side in Poland. Quick back and forth without border control.

In diesem nächsten Post teile ich mit euch einige Light Paintings, die wir auf der Brücke von Deutschland nach Polen gemacht haben. Nochmal ein riesiges Dankeschön, an Danilo, Felix und Tomas, meinen Fotofreunden aus Görlitz mit denen Ich diesen coolen Ort erkunden durfte. Begleitet wurde ich auch von Nadia, die noch nie in Polen war, und das Erste, was sie tat, war über die Brücke zu rennen, einmal schnell nach Polen und zurück ohne Passkontrolle.

Most Eastern part of Germany

The hotel is located in the most Eastern part of Germany just north of Görlitz. As you can see in my post and the photos here it's actually crossing over from one country to another country.

Das Hotel liegt im östlichsten Teil Deutschlands, etwas nördlich von Görlitz. Wie du in meinem Beitrag und den Fotos hier sehen kannst, ist es ein echtes grenzübergreifendes Foto.

Please see Kulturinsel Einsiedel e.V.

What happened here?

The featured light painting here is a 77-second single-exposure light painting. The camera was set to ISO 1000 and my 16 to 35 mm Canon lens was set to F8 at a focal length of 20 mm.

For this photo, Thomas and I did the lighting on the bridge. Thomas was lighting up the tree house tower on the other side of the river that you see in red and yellow. Meanwhile, I was lighting up the bridge and pontons that cross the river/border. The bright light behind the tower on the other side comes from a car of a couple of tourists who were spending the night having a little rave over there.

Diese Light Painting ist eine 77-sekündiges Einzelaufnahme. Meine Kamera war auf ISO 1000 eingestellt und mein 16-35-mm-Canon-Objektiv auf Blende F8 bei einer Brennweite von 20 mm.

Für dieses Foto haben Thomas und ich die Beleuchtung der Brücke gemacht. Thomas beleuchtete das Baumhaus-Turm auf der anderen Seite des Flusses, den Ihr da in Rot und Gelb seht. Ich beleuchtete währenddessen die Brücke und Pontons, die den Fluss/die Grenze überqueren. Das helle Licht hinter dem Turm auf der anderen Seite stammt von einem Auto der polnischen Raver. 😎

Since Nadia and I still had to go back to Berlin I pulled the plug at some point and said we have to go home.

Even after we left Felix and Thomas tried more color combinations and tried to perfect their Light Painting images. For me, this was good enough to call it a night.

Da Nadia und ich noch nach Berlin zurückmussten, habe ich schließlich den Stecker gezogen und gesagt, dass wir nach Hause müssen. Selbst nachdem wir gegangen waren, haben Felix und Thomas weiterhin verschiedene Farbkombinationen ausprobiert und versucht, ihre Lichtgemälde zu perfektionieren.

Location Scouting

The funny coincident was that the first spot we got to see also became our last spot to photograph.

Die lustige Fügung war, dass der erste Spot auch unser letzter wurde.

Thank you, Danilo, for the idea, Felix, Thomas, and of course Nadia for joining! I did not anticipate how much I would like this odd location.

I hope you found these images inspirational. If you have more questions please do not hesitate. I am happy to share my knowledge.

If you think this is Spam, why did you read this far, and why the fuck bother you? Move on from your self-righteous mind state and bury yourself. Don't bother about what others may find interesting. Just stay in your bubble and ...

Cheer Up, Guys!
