A quiet moment in an (almost) empty cathedral in Munich. As someone more used to frequenting small, ancient and humble village churches, the garish ostentatiousness of some larger churches can come as a surprise.

I captured this moody industrial image on the outskirts of Frankfurt-am-Main at dusk. The foreground crane's structure made me think of a dinosaur, the species Dinosaurus metallica, perhaps. Candid silhouette of a man walking in Munich. What he's walking away from I'll leave to your imagination. Hand held, slow shutter speed, conceptual shot, of someone activating the time machine. Captured in the BMW Museum, Munich. A plethora of curved lines at the Olympic Stadium in Munich. Apparently, they were known in some countries as 'bubble' cars, though I can't help hearing the tune to the Beatles 'Yellow Submarine' when I look at this. It's actually a two-seater BMW Isetta 300, sold between 1955-1962, displayed in the BMW Museum, Munich. I learned recently that an Italian company has redesigned the car to be more steamlined and the modernised version, powered by an electric motor, has gone into production. Conspicuous candid minimalism in the Olympic Stadium, Munich. I spotted this scene in Munich. The sublime and the functional. Auto-art from the BMW Museum, Munich. A seated abstract from inside the Olympic Stadium, Munich. I find scenes like this with a pronounced symmetry often work better when there are subtle breaks in the symmetry. Symmetrical perfection seems artificial and contrived, as if a computer algorithm is the creator. There are subtle natural asymmetries present in this image, for example, just above the centre and to the right the seats become slightly misaligned. I capitalised on this by slightly adjusting my angle to have the extreme right and left of the foreground frame differ slightly. |
