Herbschtmäss Basel Photography Featured on Basel.com | Viswerk

Herbschtmäss is just around the corner — and Basel.com is already setting the mood with a Viswerk photo featured on its front page.

Herbschtmäss in motion — long-exposure composite of the Kettenkarussell, no AI.

The image, built from a composite of several long exposures, captures the Kettenkarussell in full spin, framed by the Roche towers and Kaserne — with the lights shimmering across the flowing Rhine. This piece of Herbschtmäss Basel photography highlights the fair’s energy, motion, and atmosphere in a way that a single exposure cannot.

In an age where AI-generated visuals are everywhere, this work is rooted in pure photography: patience, light, and craft — no AI involved.

Featured on Basel.com among stunning photos of the city.

Having this photo featured by Basel Tourismus is both humbling and inspiring, a reminder of the unique magic this city radiates when lights, heritage, and people converge.
