Mosel Loop Madness
For a long time I wanted to come here and enjoy the landscape from this 22 meter high observation tower. This tower was built on the 235.5 meter high Prinzenkopf and yesterday I had some time to explore it in spring-like winter weather.
I was particularly interested in panoramic shots from up here where you can experience two loops of the Moselle up close. In recent years I have only seen a few works that combine both river loops in a 180-degree panorama. The difficulty is likely to be the large platform with railing on which you stand here.
There is a broken window to the roof, but entry is strictly prohibited!
No matter, I still wanted to try it from below and mounted my fisheye lens on the camera and stood on one side of the railing with the camera in my hand. I followed the railing step by step to the other side (platform 5x5 meters) which I photographed with a total of 10 shots.
When I got home later that evening, I couldn't wait to put them together in Lightroom, which worked very well except for minor errors.
I wish you a nice weekend.
