Ready to attack! Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a picture from the exhibition Vikingen! (Vikings!) in het Centraal Museum in Utrecht.
I visited this exhibition yesterday.

This hall was about the weapons and the battles of the Vikings. In the middle you could spot swords and on the ground and against the walls, there was nothing but blood! ;)

In a WS, you can see some victims of the Vikings and their swords!

I took this picture because of the swords and the nice reflection.
In the top of the picture, you can see yours truly, taking the picture.
Hope you like it!

Nice to see a different kind of picture of you. Good exposition of that dangerous Viking stuff. I’m looking forward to more Viking-shots.

Bonjour Lars,
Très humoristique ce post avec la présentation des victimes des Vikings.
J'aime le jeu de miroir qui démultiplie le nombre d'armes. Très bon cadrage et couleurs.
Bien fait !
Merci pour le partage.

Great exhibition! I wish I could see it! Good POV even though I would have liked to see a bit more in the bottom so we didn’t miss the nearer swords details.

Oh - old Scandinavian weapons ;-) a very fine and artistic image, showing us great details - and yes - the blood gives an extra effect - thanks Lars for showing and the note to explain.

The workshop add extra to this old historical view.

Mooie interessante foto, van boven misschien wat donker, maar verder erg goed van kwaliteit. De WS ziet er wel eng uit met al die botten.

i really love the angle you shot this pic with. you captured those weapons in all of their beauty. I'd rather not find out what it's like to be on the wrong end of one of those. :) great shot!

Hello Lars.
Voila une belle composition, je n'aurais qu'un petit regret c'est le rognage de certains poignées d'épées, autrement le reste est bon
jolie photo qui montre avec quoi on fait le monde.

Hello Lars.
Veiled a beautiful composition, I would not have that a small regret it is the trimming of certain handles of swords, otherwise the remainder is good pretty photograph which shows with what one makes the world.

Great view Lars, well done! Good work

Hi Lars! I agree with what you say in your note, that was why I liked this photo. This is History, but also a very nice photo with very nice reflections and perspective. Well done!

Intesting and tricky catch throught the glass case. I did not noticed the blood stains (faked, fortunatly) before reading you note. Thanks that our modern Vikings are less blood thirsty than in the past.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Olá Lars, back to your old posts, before I join TE ;-) This moseum seems great and it reminds me of one I visited recently, also with a lot of swords. The WS is superb and I like the graphics of this excellent perspective. Nice 'gore' effect from all the blood ;-)
regards,
ric
