Love the subject matter!
ReplyDeleteOh wonderful, wonderful shots - I tried something similar the other day but only got one image I really liked! Such a brilliant eye you have, Merisi!
ReplyDeletePHOTOWANNABE:
ReplyDeleteI have to do more research,
but I know for a fact that those chairs were made for the museum.
BACKPAKKER:
Sometimes time pressure or not knowing what to blog about produce compositions that surprise even myself. ;-)
INDICASPECIES:
Thank you!
I guess having Vienna as a subject makes it easy to fetch eclectic pictures every now and then.
PARIS BREAKFASTS:
ReplyDeleteThe Albertina,
among many others (weren't you a Josef Hoffmann aficionada? Then add Backhausen to your list! *smile*).
BARBARA:
Some of the chairs were lined up along the stair railings, pushed against study tables.
SMILNSIGH N LORI LYNN:
Thank you both!
ABSOLUT VANILLA:
Thank you! :-)
I have to discard pictures all the time, mostly due to the fact that I shot them under time constraints and/or bad light conditions (I only shoot with available light). Learning by doing, I guess. ;-)
