Where to take a photo in Moscow? Part 1 – Patriarchal bridge

Where to take a photo in Moscow? In this question is raised by not only visitors to the capital, but Muscovites themselves, who only took up photography. It would seem that, It is easy – I went to Red Square and photographed for your pleasure. And indeed it is, but only partly.

To make a beautiful picture you need to take into account the many nuances. This is true not only in Moscow, but any city. Let's look at our example of the Red Square.

To make a beautiful picture Red Square needed:

  • Good weather. What is the weather is good from the point of view of the photographer? Not necessarily it should be a bright sky. Excellent will look Red Square on a background of clouds. Even storm clouds, if they are sharply delineated you make your photo stylish and beautiful. But overcast, uniform gray sky will make your boring photos.
  • Times of Day. Most of all I like to photograph at night, but this is my personal preference. Good time of day for photography – sunset or sunrise.
  • Developments. Red Square can be periodically closed to visitors. And take a photo at a time you do not succeed.

There are many factors – rain, snow, wind. All this will affect the picture quality.

Today we look at the first landing, where you can make beautiful pictures of Moscow – Patriarchal Bridge.

What good Patriarchal Bridge?

  • First of all, Moscow River is always beautiful, In any weather.
  • Secondly, in all directions with beautiful views – Christ the Savior Cathedral, Kremlin, Moscow-City, Red October and the monument to Peter, House on the Embankment.
  • Thirdly, Distance to objects relatively small and can be used in the usual lens whale or make a photo ordinary soap or even a smartphone.
  • Fourth, it is the center of Moscow.

As an example, I cite photos, made with the Patriarchal Bridge at night in early April 2016 of the year.
