Couleurs Du Maghreb III

Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia
As blue as it can probably get for a door – and the image was made in the blue hour, under not the typical pretty pictures circumstances, having to resort to ISO 800 to fight the incoming darkness. Yet it’s perfect blue, without having lost too much of the low and soft light’s qualities.

Maybe the more fitting title would have been “Shapes of Maghreb”, but then, non-colors are colors, too, and I wanted to stay in the pattern of headings.

Bolzano, Italy
On a short visit to Bolzano for a meeting on Open-Source GIS software, I (again) had the camera at hand when walking to the venue. Many of my images get created on such occasions, and I constantly improve the mechanisms of self-conditioning to see instead of just walk. Just sometimes the camera becomes heavy, so I have (re-)pondered the question if a M4/3 or Sony-E would justify the expenditure by equal or better image quality coming out of half the weight. But I (again) came to no decision, and one reason is that I don’t want to give up the 24-120mm zoom range of my Zeiss lens, the wide end being especially handy when creating square images, which narrows down the angle of view quite a bit. And 24mm-e lenses for M4/3 are rare – I know only of the 7-14mm Oly zoom (Update: and the Oly 2.0/12mm), which has a hefty price point. But then, only half the weight – sounds really convincing.

Budapest, Hungary
In yesterday’s post I mentioned that there was enough interesting to see in order not to waste time with bad (instant) coffee. The entrance door to the business lounge was one of them – perfect secessionist style, and it is at least noteworthy that this door handle in seemingly original condition is still in place.

This goes with best wishes to Carl Weese.
I found these doors barely 200m away from our flat, having passed by that place probably thousands of times. It seems that my eyes have opened a tiny bit wider 
Art Deco Overflow

Still Budapest, still doorways. Amazing enough that those doors have survived a 100 years or even more, through times when money was an even more scarce resource than now and sensitivity for bourgeouis architectural monuments was certainly not overwhelming. For me it was a bit like delving into the past, or more precisely, swinging between past and presence.
Doors: Old and New
Thursday, February 25th, 2010
The doors of Vienna provide sufficient subject matter probably for many days of photography, and even in the small number of hours that allowed me to visit a really little part of this city, I found more than suitable for series of postings. So I will probably make a small gallery, which also meets my growing interest for images in a series. Diptychs and Triptychs are a bit special in this sense as they are designed to be viewed together (and therefore I find it more complicated to come up with good ones), whereas small series allow for greater variance while still following a common basic idea. And, the latter are easier to show on web and the restricted screen area available for most viewers.
Always turn ‘Round

A business trip to vienna gave me the opportunity to stroll through this beautiful city for some hours. My old obsession for doors found sufficient visual food here, but additionally the entrance halls behind the doors provided some wonderful sceneries. And luckily enough I turned around to enjoy the opposite vista as well.
More doors to come tomorrow.
through a glass
Saturday, March 7th, 2009
trees and windows are some constantly recurring subjects in my photography, so here is a new combination of both topics. shot during a wedding celebration in dachau palace (beeing not photographer-in-charge those deviations were allowed), i tried to make best use of that soft twilight shortly before sunset.
taken some minutes earlier than the lead shot, the shadows of the trees outside formed beautiful patterns on the facade of the old palace. generally i do love those soft, non-vivid and not at all gaudy colors up to monochromacity in color, but here the contrast between that strong, warm yellow and the (bavarian) blue sky is really pleasing to my eye.
dachau palace window
Wednesday, March 4th, 2009
weddings can be a challenge photographically, but most definitely they are a challenge for the stomach. to prepare for the refill at dinner, we had an opportunity to wander through dachau palace. this is a small palace, built 1546 and heavily renovated in the 18th century. the vicinity to the church of dachau is astonishing – at those times secular and ecclesiastic powers were really close – and this is what attracted my attention here.
