City Point-Center view of Rainbow Building Façade

This image of the split rainbow was taken along Weißenseer Weg inside the City Point Center shopping mall in Berlin, looking southeast onto the residential buildings. To get this perspective, enter the shopping mall and take the elevators up to the medical practice offices. The medical practice offices are private, but if you're respectful, you can photograph from the windows. Another option is to photograph outside on the sidewalk directly in front of the City Point Center (52.526776, 13.479065). You'll have a slightly angled view, but you can still achieve a great shot. By Light Rail: - Roederplatz Berlin (via M4, M5, M8 or M10 lines) - Head east towards the City Point-Center Address: City Point-Center, Paul-Junius-Straße 70, 10369 Berlin, Germany

To incorporate the green trees, like I have in my image, photogtraph the spilt rainbow residential buildings during the spring, summer or early fall months.

Although you might be able to find similar conditions in the morning, it's best to visit the building during midday or in the late afternoon. Before midday, you'll be shooting towards the sun and the lighting can be too harsh if it's sunny.

I recommend using a telephoto lens (70mm) so you can focus on the architecture and rainbow of the building.

To add a sense of flair to your composition, wait for birds to fly by between the two buildings. You can also incorporate people in the foreground and use the rainbows as a backdrop.

If you choose to take the image from the sidewalk instead of inside the shopping mall, attempt to keep your camera as straight as possible so your image doesn't appear at an angle.

I suggest following the rainbow design around the entire block since it covers all sides of the building.

I also highly recommend visiting the nearby Dong Xuan Center where you can find amazing and authentic Vietnamese food. They also offer cheap shopping if you'd like to shop.
