    Beautiful colours in this one, but I feel slightly restricted by the crop.

    I decided to take this weekend bit easier. I saw that there was some folk music band giving show, some songs were devoted to god. On site it turned out that folk was from Sweden and god's name was Odin, this meant that it was
    VIKING METAL NIGHT

    One of the warm up bands was local, called Külmking

    Interesting. The circular window is still circular in this shot so the lens is not deforming and a hyper wide angle should stretch at the edges. I guess the exaggerated perspective effects of the twin towers are playing with perception. But in real life it is quite squat compared to the classic Gothic cathedral, like the nearby Cathedrals in Parma and Piacenza, which are basically fit into a square.

    Inside they played a clever mind game. At the entrance the church is 10m wide. At the Apse it is 8.5m, to heighten the perspective effect, and give an impression of greater length.

    I really liked the delicacy of the colours in this set.

    The last is easily the best shot in my eyes but the first is good too.

    That is clever. A bit like entasis as used by the Greeks (and stolen by Lutyens for The Cenotaph).

    As I mentioned in the other thread: A highly impressive collection of images - fantastic work! A worthy tribute to the "Heimat großer Töchter & Söhne!" 👍

    Some pretty jaw dropping stuff in this set. If looks could kill in 9 is my standout, closely followed by the first one.

    Very different to your bird photography, which you have not showed us for a while.

    Yes, I saw your lovely portfolio. Some shots I remember, some are new to me.

    Let's hope this initiative helps bring some more momentum to this little corner of the web.

    They work nicely as a concept together. Yes a slight crop to the first shot.

    I especially liked the second one with the bird and the hut. The gallery software is a bit unrefined. I imagine it is a work in process.

    Interesting concept. On the last one I would crop out the shadow at the bottom.

    The stone carvings have amazing details in these shots, sharp & noise free too
    My favourite is this one from outside with the lights on in the blue hour

    Thanks Wormsmeat.
    There's a space on the portfolio side waiting for your photos too. The difficult part you'll have, is to choose only 12 :-)

    Thanks Simplejoy :-)
    Yes indeed Austria is a beautiful place. I feel lucky to live here.
    It will be difficult to choose only 12 images for your portfolio page but looking forward to seeing that soon !
