BMW Welt
Part of the new BMW Welt Architectural concept by COOP HIMMELBAU.
Located near the BMW factory in Munich, this photogenic building houses the delivery centre – if you personally come to pick up your new car:-) – events, exhibitions and shops and is linked to the BMW Museum next door. Well worth a visit when in Munich, even if you’re not picking up a car!
I had seen so many shots of this amazing architecture but never gone by myself. On the way home from a photo session with friends I drove past and saw the amazing light – nearly causing a car crash as I swerved into their car park.
This is just a small part of the bulding but the light of the crisp winter dusk somehow makes it especially appealing. I even went back the next day for more!
Location: Munich, Germany.
Nikon D200, Sigma 18-200mm. f/14, ISO 800, 1.6s, 18 mm. Tweaking in CS4.
