Here I am still in Hamburg, near the harbor. This time I deliberately chose to use the extreme contrast of the scene. I could have brought details in the shadows, but I wanted this silhouette effect to convey the “technical” feeling of the place. The more you approach the river, the tougher it looks, far from the almost romantic neighborhood of the Aussen-Alster lake which has miraculously escaped from the war bombings. Here again, the wet road makes it easier for the photographer. Revewing these old pictures, I realize that I am more attracted by complex composition than by simple, graphic patterns, but it is a quest that I find difficult. It implies the use of wide angle lenses with the inevitable consequence of allowing more things in the frame.
