Germany Gehry buildings at Düsseldorf Media Harbor
The Media Harbor in Düsseldorf offers a lot of great architecture. This spot is really nice to capture the Gehry buildings, reflected in the water of the Rhine.
Photography Tips
Use an ND filter to soften the water, but make sure that you still take exposures from the exact same position without one to get sharp photos of the boats that are moving slightly in the water.
It's also important to be here when the sun is low, because of getting better reflections in the building with the metal surface and because of getting more shadows on the buildings itself, which gives them a better dimension.

Travel Information
There is a parking place at the "Speditionsstraße" just right beside the port. You have to walk to this spot for about 10 minutes, because you have to walk all the way around the port. But there are plenty more spots on your way to this photo spot.
If you want to park just nearby, you can also leave your car on a parking level in front of the "Rheinturm".
