The trip to Batterie Lothringen was really interesting because there were so many bunkers and gun positions to take images of. Although they were all different in terms of where they were and lay out, their sharp militaristic pointed look was consistent which looked really good in the photos. The weather wasn’t nice, there was a lot of clouds however that could come up looking really good in the images.
