Classic cityscape of St. Petersburg (Russia)
This is my entry for the #TravelPhotoContest by @lightcaptured.
A classic view of the Palace bridge and the Peter and Paul Fortress behind it.
I visited St. Petersburg 2 years ago and I came this place to take some night photographs.
In the absence of a tripod, I was worried that I would not be able to make a good photo. But using the granite parapet of the embankment, I still managed to make a shot with a long exposure. Thanks to this, even the people in the foreground who walked along the pier can not be seen in the photo.
And original picture...
I strongly recommend to open the photo in a separate tab to appreciate it.
Looks like you took your time at a very nice high F-Stop. You chose your vantage point very well. I love your result. My compliments!
