Now I present you an new photo from me. It is a bookshelf, but not a ordianry one, it is a big photo wallpaper. But why am I shooting a bookshelf? This is easy to answer, it was a remittance work for an exibition. The exibition is called “Nibelungen - Mythos, Kitsch, Kult ” (myth,trash, cult) and takes place in the “Siebengebirgsmuseum” in Königswinter, near Bonn in Germany. It is very interesting and emblazes everything around the Nibelungen-Lied, an old and famous german legend. So if you are near Bonn, then you should visit this exibition.

Just some points how this wallpaper developed. At first I was doubtfull how I could take such an big photo with my little SLR. I thought it couldn´t work, just with a large format camera. But as I haven´t won in the lottery jet, I had to find a way. So I went to a antique shop, where they have got a big and beautiful bookshelf. I used a tripod, a positive film and cable release and shoot. But not all in one, just in small parts with my 50mm/f1.4 USM. After that I add all the photos to one big (with photoshop) and it was printed. I think it all worked well and I am happy to take part in that exibition. Furthermore, now I know that you can shoot, what ever you wanna shoot no matter how big it is.

This secret view shows you a look down onto the tidelands surrounding Mont-Saint-Michel, from a place aside the bustling mass of tourist. I like this picture, because just the front of the picture is definded and the rest you have to guess. So it gaves the photo a touch of unsureness and makes it a little dreamy.

This month’ challenge over at Take Out Photo has the topic: “Architectural Detail”. As you might guess from the photos I post, I like both architecture photography and details. That’s why it is perfect for me to contribute. Marc started his project with photos from Paris, and mine above is from there, too. It shows an old window somewhere around Montmartre. Actually, I think the best details are found in Paris, the city is full of them.

I think this photo represents the hidden time, as it is called. It is a detail of a decaying fence. It is old and covered with rust and seems to be form another time. But it is also mysterious and interesting and may tell us a story about a departed time. -The photo was taken in Rothéneuf in Brittany.

Now I present you another picture taken at Mont-Saint-Michel. It is called “Fierce Monastery” and belongs to the serie “Brittany - cities and regions“. I think due to the frog perspective it gets a daunting expression. The mighty walls and the towers never seem to be defeatable.

Lighthouses always seems to be places of lonelyness. They are mostly situated in solitude. But they are nevertheless interessting and of course important for the navy. This ones is the newer lighthouse on Cap Fréhel.
