Bruges belfry

Posted by Jan (Bruges, Belgium) on 15 January 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

Last night, Thomas and I had a very nice tour through Bruges for the photography class assignment "Bruges by night". We took my motorcycle to avoid searching a place to park the car. It's much easier to pull over somewhere.
Just before the famous belfry, on the central market place, there is a miniature version of the belfry with some inscriptions for the blind people. This way, they can feel and read about the belfry.
It was already quite dark, hence the large shutter speed (1.5sec) and a not too large aperture (F5.6) to create the DOF. Afterwards, some small postprocessing was needed to 'darken' the sky.
