The Sign of the Overlord has descended upon us!
The same line again, now sloping from the other side 😁
It’s frequently seen that the axis of the nave does not align with the axis of the choir. Regardless of where you stand, the image always looks a little odd.
Großrußbach is not far from Karnabrunn, and we passed through on our way home. I saw the church and, heck yeah, it’s a church, how could I not stop?
This image greatly reminds me of my childhood. We had a similar stack of roof tiles along a wall. They were the remains of a torn-down shack, kept for future re-use. It never happened.
This was the last image, taken from the parking lot. We’re leaving Karnabrunn.
With the right subject, e.g. like this, an equivalent of 112 mm can give you a lot of compression.
Gentle hills, agriculture, far in the background wind turbines.
Downhill, but on the left side. Two curious tracks in the field, probably too far apart to be from vehicles. Might be an illusion caused by the Sigma’s compression.
Downhill. Black and white was the choice, but as of today, I would probably go for a brighter look 😁
The view downhill. The stairs are hidden behind the big cross.
Another image of the entrance side, this time with more forgiving light.
The church was unfortunately closed. Probably we could have asked someone for the key, but the two pictures I found on Google Maps suggest it wouldn’t have been worth the effort.
Same lens, different take. Would ultra-wide give us something we haven’t seen yet?
Halfway up the stairs, there is another couple of statues.
As always with the PEN F, I had a third prime with me, something in the middle. It could have been the 17/1.8, but this time it was my more frequent choice, the Olympus M Zuiko Digital 25mm F1.8.
Back to the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN and a closer look at the church on the hill.
A bit closer. We’ve already seen the first steps, the railing and the flanking statues. Of course, close ist relative in ultra-wide.
Same lens, almost same position, only this time in portrait mode. For me, that is a very different image.
Karnabrunn finally. We didn’t know what to expect, we had not read about it, it was just on our way. Interesting.
We took a side road. The main roads are broad, straight, designed for speed, and all the same. The side roads show the real character of the land.
Ok, ok, this is the last one, promised! Again the compression of the 56/1.4.
