Laternenfest Reflection

Photographed by on

The Laternenfest on the Peißnitz island, Halle's largest folk festival: white pagoda tents and a colourful carousel tent in orange and yellow line up before towering deciduous trees. A large rain puddle in the foreground mirrors the entire scene perfectly — tents, trees, and the imposing cumulus clouds of a late-summer August sky are doubled symmetrically. The deep depth of field at ƒ/7.1 captures both the reflection and the depth of the festival grounds.
