Some impressions from Würzburg where the OH Zax and I went last weekend, to go to an Archive concert (which was awesome!) and take a look around the city.
Ui - the first one (B/W, the stone figure in front of that castle) ... the pic seems to be ancient in a way, as if it was historical, about 100 years old. I like it very much.
Thank you, Cloud! Yes, it is my wedding. It will be at the end of May. I hope people will enjoy themselves, me included *g*
I thought of you when I took that tree picture, and again when I turned it b/w. And whenever I use a duotone etc. now, I think of you, too! You must be getting a whole lot of positive vibes down there in Austria *g*
Those details, often overlooked, they need us to photograph them! I very much admire your clear style though, and your level of skill. That's something I have yet to achieve. Ah, too many hobbies *g* I shall keep practicing ;)
Ah well, it would! I'm putting my hopes into my cousin though, he's a graphic artist and has been into photography for decades. His camera bag is five times the size of mine, too *g*
Wonderful photographs! So like from a fairy tale. The door and the locks in particular. Wish to see those locks on an old door. And the ironwork, and the clock with its shadow like dissilving in the wall. And this bas-relief with heads has also something in it. And waiting is really waiting)
Thank you Gvenanne! Aren't the locks great? They were a bit hard to photograph but one can still see the fantastic workmanship. They had little pocket sundials on display, too.
I wish the shadow of the clock would've been a bit stronger. My camera has real difficulties with noise when I have to switch to ISO 400 or higher, and you weren't allowed to use a flash in the museum. So a lot of the pics didn't turn out well at all.
The first day at the new job was pretty hectic! I'm hoping to settle in rather quickly, I hate it when there is so much I don't know.
Aren't the locks great? They are. It's already good, that it was allowed to make photographs of them and of all other things. They had little pocket sundials on display, too. Is it like watch to wear only a sundial? (I'm not sure i understood it right) Wow I wish the shadow of the clock would've been a bit stronger. It looks nice here, i think. Has something in common with the idea of time. Slowly disappearing something lik that. And i was interested, black-white photos look a bit like negatives, with slight black in white. Is it some technique of taking pictures? I kinda like the effect)
I hate it when there is so much I don't know. I know what you mean, it's an uncomofortable feeling. Wish you to get the feel of the job and like it ;)
I like your idea about time slowly disappearing! And yes, some of the b/w photos (which were all in color originally) I used an action on. Check out Julia Starr's wonderful actions and stock photos, if you haven't come across them: http://night-fate.deviantart.com/gallery/
The one I used is called #1 of Set 108, I couldn't find it right now, she may have moved it. She's got beautiful stuff that I like playing with, and is kindly sharing it for free.
I didn't mean to post that many - it just happened *g* Glad you like them, though :D And everything that can be labelled with the terms "visual" and "artistic" is so attractive - the problem is I can't decide. It's all so much fun ;)
Well, I watched them at flickr, so... the more the better! :-) I think this is a DigiCam!? - so I assume you decide later which one looks better in black and white, yes? And you cut each picture as you like it - interesting! :-)
I have to admit, I used to be much more careful with what I photographed and how when I still had my analog camera. I still am more careful when I can take my time. But often - especially in the company of photography philistines - I have to hurry and only get a chance to take a closer look later.
And I've read that the secret of most good b/w photos is that they aren't b/w to begin with ;) My analog b/w pictures never turned out well. It works much better this way.

Thanks for sharing the photos. It's always lovely to see photos of new places... well, new to me anyway.
Good luck with the new job, not that you need luck of course and I hope the wedding goes off well, congratulations!

Würzburg is a lovely city, although it was already quite crowded in the downtown area. It's a popular spot for tourists.

And the sundials were more like a pocket watch - I've uploaded a picture here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/61670474@N02/5619386563/in/photostream
