Pathways to Another World Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is an exhibiton room in Mozart's Geburtshaus (house he was born) in Salzburg. I was totally astounded by the creativity of design.

At the heart of Salzburg, the Getreidegasse, a house of the Salzburg business magnate and spices merchant, Johann Lorenz Hagenauer (1712-1792), is located there. He obtained it for the “Salzburg baronial chamber musician” Leopold Mozart and his wife Anna Maria Walburga in 1747. The Mozart family lived there for 26 years. The apartment, on the 3rd floor, consisted of a kitchen, small cabinet, combined living, sleeping (birth) and study room. Their seven children were born here, whereby only two survived infancy: 1751 Maria Anna Walburga (“Nannerl”) and on 27 January 1756 “Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangs Theophilus (Wolfgang Amadeus).

Hi Deniz,
Very special mood, kind of strange models withou their head...
Unusual and well constructed picture.

Gecenin bir yarısı, hatta sabaha karşı yüklersen, tabi ki ilk yorum yazan ben olamam. Hele ki aslında senden fotoğraf beklemediğim şu günlerde...
Daha önce de buradan acayip güzel bir fotoğraf koymuştun ve hatta ben o fotoğrafı uzun süre Bienal'de çekildi sanmıştım, ta ki albüm macerasına başlayana kadar. Bu sefer fotoğrafı açtığımda; zarif yazıların süslediğin siyah duvarlar, ışığın içeri girdiği kapı aralıklarında duran mankenlerle Mozart'ın evinde Avusturya'da çekilmiş olduğunu gayet biliyordum.
Geniş açı yarısı 18 mm'le aşağıya doğru bakış tam bir geniş açı etkisiyle sonlanmış, grenler karanlığın tam göbeğine süzülen aydınlığa çok yakışmış, gerçekten de başka dünyalara açılan kapılar oluvermiş...
Derinleri kazdıkça hala birşeyler çıkıyorsa, çok da acele etmeyelim istersen CD için :)

hi deniz,
It's a truly captivating post, No doubt though, black and white works perfectly here emphasising the strange cinematographic mood of the image.

bence bir de damat olsaydı ışığa doğru giden..insanın zihnini çalıştıran ve sorular uyaandıran nefis bir kare...En az diğeri kadar sıradışı...

eskileri karıştırmak lazım bazen evet... insan neler atladığını görüp şaşırıyor... karıştırmaya devam et, daha ne cevherler çıkacak kimbilir...

amazing lighting, and what a strange scene, makes it very interesting
i visited the place in 1991 (200 years of his death), and i would remember much better if there was such a scene
or... did i forget? i don't think/// those models... without heads!!!

Hi Deniz,
Excellent B&W photo. The main point here is composing the two light sources together in a vertical photo. I like how the manikins break the light.
TFS!
Cheers,

Wow. The sight of headless figures gave some thrill to my spin ;0. Made me think of French revolution and consequences ;( Mozart's music was a part of the epoch finished with the Revolution.
Fantastic light effects. Very mysterious and thrilling atmosphere.
Greetings T.

Hi Deniz

Nice composition and beautiful light.

I wonder which iso-speed you used here? Maybe it could be possible to avoid some noise by reducing the shutter-speed and take another iso-speed. I would also try to reduce the contrast level which would give some more details in the dresses.

Nevertheless this picture is really good. TFS

Merhaba Deniz,

I would the colour picture add as second picture, than can everyone make a choice between black and white and colour.
This image is very dynamish.
Not simple but very attractive, sharp and clear.
The atmosphere are very well.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice sunday,
John.
