View from Triangle Tower in Cologne Germany

Add photo Bookmark

You have an amazing view over the whole city from the panoramic platform of Triangle Tower in Cologne. The trip to the top of this over 100 meters tall building costs about 3 Euros per person and is worth it in my opinion. You should check the closing times depending on what you would like to photograph, because if you would like to do long exposures you should be there at the beginnig or ending of summer, because they close during winter days at 6pm and during summer at 10pm.

Thank you very much for your suggested change. We will check it as soon as possible and update this spot.

The beautiful blue color of the smoothened water is the result of a long exposure over 30 seconds, a blue sky and towards the end of the blue hour.

In addition I exposed twice (one for the sky only, which is overexposed on the second shot for the rest of the scene) and combined the photos.

You need to get close to the glass and cover any opening between the front of the lens hood and the glass. Then there will be no reflections anymore. A simple rubber lens hood pressed against the glass will do as well

Fabulous photo, Reiner, considering this has been shot through glass!!! amazing exposure and excellent compositing with this bridge crossing the frame towards the church. Unbelievable colors! bravo!

Reiner Boehme 29.09.2018

Alona, thanks for your comments. I have explained how I made this photo

Alona Azaria 29.09.2018

Thank you so much for the extensive explanation. Much appreciated!

Alona Azaria 29.09.2018

You and Michael Keil have managed to get the two statues at the start of the bridge which is awesome, however, the bridge is stealing all the attention if the cathedral is not lit :-)

Reiner Boehme 29.09.2018

You are right with the bridge getting the attention. The reason for the dome not being illuminated as usual is a lightshow taking place on the southern side during 4 days. Hence it is a rare event without light on the dome.

Alona Azaria 29.09.2018

Thanks again for the explanation!

Great shot from up there. I am going coming Saturday to Cologne, hope to get some pics like this too. Kind regards, Jurgen.

Manuel Becker 19.09.2017

Good luck with the weather Jurgen and feel free to add your final photo to this spot afterwards, so that I can see your result from this place.
