Skyline, Olympic Park, Munich

APRIL 2007 – View across the skyline of the Olympic Park in Munich, Germany, before sunset. Well recognizable are the Olympic Stadium, the TV tower, and the O2 Tower. Photo © Mark Zanzig/zanzig.com


The story behind the image

I had the chance to be in a location that provided a perfect skyline view of the Olympic Park in Munich. The sun was about to set – sadly not behind the park but further to the right, off frame – and dipped the entire sky into light orange.

The 400 mm focal length creates an undistorted skyline view, almost a silhouette. The reduced color set has something magical, and there is plenty of copyspace. Nice.
