Vasco Da Gama

"Vasco Da Gama"
Took this picture during a technical rehearsal of Vasco Da Gamma at the Deutsche Oper in Berlin.
A tale of 5 acts, love death and all the trimmings which you'd expect of a piece of this magnitude.
Opera photography requires lots of patience and the ability to deal with low light that changes almost constantly.For me it's a real honour not just to take pictures, but to also see all the work and creativity which has gone into this production.
Anyone in Berlin now I would reccomend this Opera highly!!!!

Before and After

A before and after shot of the newly constructed Stadt Schloss (City Place) in Berlin.
The architects had opened up it's gates for visitors to view the palace in it's construction phase.
They had hung a huge picture of how the Palace will eventually look. ( right handside of picture)
The contrast between construction phase and the finished look, caught my eye for this shot.
