Poetry Slam

Word art on Hamburg's stages.

Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Hamburg stands for art and culture through and through. And over the years, poetry slams have gained a firm place in Hamburg's cultural programme. Those who want to see young lyrical talents have the opportunity to do so in Hamburg almost every week. The young poet scene meets here regularly on stage to compete and inspire the audience. And with the "artistic duels", the city even has its own unofficial championship. Here, you'll find an overview of current events and the most frequent venues.

    The home of the Poetry Slam in Hamburg.

    At night all cats are Grey? Who said Hamburg lights and we catch it one with our cameras! In our photo trip through HafenCity and Speicherstadt we show you how to shoot surprisingly good night shots with a few simple tricks.

    Step by step you get to know the various possibilities for picture composition. Experiment with perspectives and focal lengths, practicing the use of sharpness, blur, and motion blur and discover how to achieve with torches, sparklers or random passing cars great effects.

    • The correct exposure at night
    • The play brought light sources
    • Image design: what prospects are best for my design
    • Choice of focal length
    • Use of selective focus, blur and motion blur
    • How to avoid converging lines or how do I use it deliberately
    • What is the Golden Rule, and how can it help in picture composition

    • Legal Fundamentals of Architecture Photography (no joke)
