sax in the city

A lady that played the sax on the street as part of Nuernberg’s State Theatre’s participation in the “Blaue Nacht 2010”. The event is being held every May as a public city event.

Although this is one of my favourate shots of the whole night (took several tries to get it right), I fail to come up with a title for it. Something surreal maybe?

edit: went with ‘off world’.

I which I could tell you, but I have no idea what this is. (Just like the other photos of the same location.) Which is kinda funny, because I have been there many years before, when the container terminal was still in operation, but seeing it all disassembled, it’s very hard to figure out what was where.

As you can probably tell by the way the warning tape danced, it was a pretty windy night.

Part of the disassembled container terminal in the moonlight. As mentioned in one of the earlier posts, I got lucky with the moon being full on that night.

Finally the last photo I’ll post of this location taken during daylight. This pile of debris was nearby the disassembled cranes and such. I have no idea what this once was.

Took a lot of pictures of this huge concrete remnants and I really struggled to pick ‘the one’ I’ll post.

Here’s a detail shot of the disassambled container terminal. While it might not be particularly interesting, I still like the colors and the shallow depth of field.

OK, while this is not really a photo of the actual disassembled container terminal this thing was on the general area preparing to flatten everything in its way. What more can I say?

The One

And yet another shot from the container terminal. I hope you’re not bored already, but there will be at least another 5 photos from this location, because it was awesome. (And very hard not to pick a photo of a certain object twice.)

This one was shot with my Voigtlander 50mm/1.1 almost or actually wide open.

Another photo from the dismantled container terminal. This a part of a big crane used to pick up containers from the train wagons to put them onto the trucks for further transportation.

At least I guess that’s what this is. I wish I’d be more certain, but I was hard to recognize which parts are what. Especially when you’re looking for a good shot.

Oh, and this is a (tenderly processed) HDR made from a handheld shot sequence.
