Long Exposure Photography in Lübeck with the Canon RF 15-35mm

In this video, I'll take you on a nighttime photo tour through Lübeck. I'll be using the Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L IS USM lens on my Canon R6 and showing you how I create my long exposures.

I'll also be using my heavy Manfrotto tripod with a 3-way pan/tilt head. A stable tripod is invaluable, especially for longer exposures – and particularly in windy conditions.

Since it was quite windy that night, the water's surface wasn't completely still. Nevertheless, some beautiful reflections emerged, giving the images a special atmosphere.
