Description

The medieval town of Ratisbon, Bavaria, belongs to the UNESCO world heritage.

Bringing the city on one picture togehter with startrails is quite a bit tricky: There is a huge amount of light pollution and therefore it is extremely difficult to obtain a good balance between the buildings, the water of river Danube as well as the stars, which are almost washed out by the urban glow.

To somehow work around this situation, I used an 8x gradient ND filter bottom up, so with the dark side down to reduce the brightness of the city. Nevertheless, I had to blend in a much shorter exposure for the city, as the cathedral was still too bright, as it is really flooded with light.

Hope, you enjoy the view.
