Photo Friday: Frankfurt, Germany
NIKON D300, Nikon 12-24, HDR in Photomatix

Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof (Usually translated from German as Frankfurt (Main) Central Station, short form: Frankfurt (Main) Hbf) is the Central station for Frankfurt am Main. In terms of railway traffic, it is the busiest railway station in Germany. I travel into Germany a few times a year and am always going through the Main station.
My hotel this night was only 2 blocks away and I wanted to get a shot of the station. As it was quiet at around 10 PM and the guards were bored and kept a close eye on me. I could tell they were ready to tell me to leave so I snapped only a few photos. I really wanted to get an HDR, but didn’t have the chance to get one.
So the photo above is an HDR of the Main station using 1 RAW photo! I converted the photo to +2,+1,0,-1,-2 (5 copies) and post processed in Photomatix! Not bad! As there are no moving parts in the photo (clouds, etc..) a single RAW photo conversion into an HDR is ok! I rarely do such a style…but sometimes it can work!
When traveling in Germany get used to saying Hauptbahnhof (train) & Flughafen (airport). Once you have mastered these…you can get around easily!! auf Wiedersehen!!
Have you ever been to Germany? Have you taken a railway train in Europe?

- About Me: http://places2explore.wordpress.com/ There are many places in this world to explore.... We all dream to travel to far distant places, see new sights and view the many cultures around the globe. I am fortunate that I have a chance to travel the world for my job and enjoy taking photographs of where I have been and what I have seen. I travel around the US, into Europe, the UK and occasionally to the Far East. Some of my favorite places to travel to are New York City, Paris, London, Tokyo, Vienna and Southern California. With the age of digital cameras, taking pictures has become very enjoyable! To immediately look at your vision pop up on the camera screen is wonderful. Sharing my photographs and seeing the final print framed on a shelf or mounted on the wall is why I enjoy photography so much. Please feel free to browse my site and order any prints you may like or just enjoy the photos. Thank you for taking the time to visit Talke Photography!

i haven't, but i'm stopping over in Frankfurt for a layover towards Poland in three weeks. :D
Frankfurt Airport is really pretty, too. I didn't get to go into the Frankfurt train station, but I did visit several others. I was in Germany for a month a few years ago and snapped so many beautiful photos of the landscapes and buildings. I want to go back so bad!
