Carousel, drink, and food: Weihnachtsmarkt n der Gedächtniskirche, Berlin, Germany, fotoeins.com

Fotoeins Friday: Christmas lights at the City-Weihnachtsmarkt

By on

When the calendar strikes December, “Weihnachtsmarkt” or Christmas markets are in full swing in just about every town in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. But the “Weihnachtsmarkt” is not only a market, but it’s also a festival complete with lights, decorations, food; there might also be ice skating, a carousel, and even rides for children. I’ve always believed there’s something special about the atmosphere of a Weihnachtsmarkt under coloured lights in light snowfall on a cold evening.

I made the photo above at the Weihnachtsmarkt an der Gedächtniskirche (City-Weihnachtsmarkt) in Berlin on 6 December 2012 with the Canon EOS450D (XSi) camera and the EF 50/1.4 prime-lens with the following settings: 1/200s, f/2.8, ISO800, 50mm (80mm) focal length.
