Switzerland Wasserschloss Bottmingen (Christmas Time)
During christmas time the castle is beautifuly decorated with christmas lights. The water around the castle offers nice reflections. You find various interesting compositions by walking around the castle.
Photography Tips
The photo was taken with an ultra wide lens at 15mm (fullframe equivalent). A normal 24-70mm lens does not allow you a composition with a lot of water around the castle.
The camera was positioned - for these photos - near to the water and there is no possibility to step back a lot as there are some bushes around the water which will block the view to the water (needed for a good reflection). Do not forget your tripod.
