Where to take pictures in the Moscow Patriarchal platform under the bridge

Where to take pictures in Moscow - this question is raised by not only visitors to the capital, but Muscovites themselves. Where you can make beautiful pictures of a favorite, how to choose a place for the amateur photo shoot?

I specifically draw your attention to the amateur footage. With all professionals easier - in their arsenal is not only an excellent camera, but light sources, reflectors and much more. therefore, range of places to shoot from a professional More, than that of an amateur. But with amateur footage harder. I want to get great shots with minimal arsenal.

Take pictures during the day in Moscow can be anywhere - Parks, streets, area. Yes, you have seen how many people on the same Red Square wanders with cameras and shoot, shoot. With Night Shot harder. Of course, most cameras provided with flares, and indeed the outbreak is not as expensive. Especially, our Chinese neighbors have developed production of inexpensive flash units for virtually any camera model. But the flash light and gives a hard if not the skill of working with it, the photos can happen yourself - flat and overexposed. If you have a camera mirror and you are shooting in the PAB format, and photoshop or laytrum available, all can be corrected, And if all this is not? Then one way out - if you want a spectacular night shots, then you need to choose a place for a photo shoot.

so, acquainted with an excellent venue for amateur photo shoot in Moscow - Playground under the Patriarchal bridge. The more attractive this platform?

First of all, at night this place is well lit.. Lanterns are many and you can pick up a shadow figure, What you need.

Secondly, in both directions along the Moskva river offers excellent views (That is, if you're shooting at night) and the Kremlin, Red October, bridges provide excellent background, If you're shooting with a closed diaphragm and a fine backlight, if you decide to blur the background.

For example, I took a few photos of Margarita, as you can appreciate, what I got.

When shooting, I used:

Camera: SONY SLT-77
Lens: Sony DT 35mm f/1.8 SAM (SAL-35F18)

inexpensive kit, but well suited for portraits.

shooting options:

The focal length of the time - 35 mm
ISO – 250 - you can put more - up 500. If the above, the noise will be significant, and noise reduction will "plastic" photos
F – 1,8 or 2,2
Exposure - 1/20 sec

Model – Margarita

Since we have a photo shoot, instead of shooting in the dynamics, shutter speed 1/20 is fine. If you want to get a dynamic picture in the evening or at night, you will have to increase the ISO, to reduce exposure.

As a tool for processing used the program Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.
