I took this photo during my city trip to Berlin. The Brandenburg Gate is an absolute highlight of the city and was at the top of my list to photograph. I converted this photo to black and white which gives a beautiful dramatic effect. The lack of colour puts the focus on contrast and makes the building's clean lines stand out. The sky also became extra dramatic and the cloud in the middle draws the eye towards the sculpture with the horses.
Photographing the Brandenburg Gate with a wide-angle lens and converting it to black and white produces an impressive result through the combination of depth, scale and context provided by the lens. This lens emphasises the grandeur and architectural details of the monument. The black-and-white conversion adds timeless character and emotional depth, emphasises contrasts and details, and reduces visual distractions. This results in a visually appealing image that captures the grandeur and historical significance of the Brandenburg Gate in a unique and artistic way.
