"City of Wine and Towers"

Uploaded: November 07, 2010

Description

Do you know this place? It is Oberwesel "The City of Wine and Towers". Located along the Rhine River in major wine growing region this town has over 13 towers and the famed Schonburgs had a castle over looking this Rhine town and tolls to navigate the river made them rich.
It was very dark as the clouds show, so I had to run my ISO up to 12,800 with F/13 in AV mode and 55mm focal length handheld in moving boat to get this composition.

Exif: F Number: 13, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/2500 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 12800, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 55.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV

Great reading the background info. I have learned to use the ISO more from reading your details. Great image. Nice detail and colors and well as a point of interest. #10106645

Looks like a place I'd like to visit. I like how the row of cars across the bottom show the size of the rest of the scene. Good one=^..^= #11208781
