Photography Tips
To capture the energy of the iconic yellow U-Bahn trains, use a wide-angle lens and set your aperture around f/11 or higher to allow for a longer shutter speed. A tripod is highly recommended here to keep the historical architecture and foreground details sharp while the train becomes a dynamic motion blur. Position yourself on the bridge or sidewalk to find an angle that aligns the tracks with the surrounding 19th-century buildings. For the best results, wait for a sunny day with light clouds to provide a balanced backdrop for the train's bold color, and take multiple shots to time the perfect amount of motion streak.
