Description
The Rhine Falls with its width of 150m and a hight of 23m is the largest waterfall in Europe. The night I took this image, it had a flow rate of 25'000 cu ft/min.
Unfortunately, not only these figures are spectacular, but also the light pollution, caused by the bright lights along the promenade and the nearby town of Schaffhausen. Furthermore, the city of Zurich and its brightly lit airport are situated less than 20 miles to the south.
My first images did not look very promising, but I decided to wait a bit longer. At 1 a.m., when most street lights in Switzerland are extinguished, I immedately noticed a pronounced darkening of the skyglow and with the help of my light pollution filter I was able to capture this image.
What I had considered a 'mission impossible' turned into a pretty successful nightscape session.
