Germany View from “Deutschherrenbridge“, Frankfurt am Main
Take a short walk through your town and you’ll find a thousand and one things to photograph. A unique feature of Frankfurt is its significant number of skyscrapers and high-rise buildings in the city centre which form the Frankfurt skyline. Frankfurt is one of only a few cities in the European Union that have such a skyline. Because of the city’s skyline, the city is often called “Mainhattan”, a portmanteau of the local Main River and Manhattan.
Photography Tips
For a great skyline view, you should go to the Main shore and choose one of the different bridges. My favourite spot is the “Deutschherren Bridge” which is a drawbridge. So if you want to take pictures from this bridge you should consider the trains and joggers passing over the bridge as these lead to significant movements and will result in blurred pictures even if you use the camera on a tripod.
