[Theme] The Organ Thread

Just some close-up organ porn...

Looks like the Angel had a smoke. And that's not trumpet in his hand...

Frank and Airy!

Thanks for sharing insight. Philipp Klais, Klais organ and Gunnar Idenstam with links widens my knowledge and musical enjoyment.

You should try and meet this guy Gunnar. His record "Bach pa Svenska", baroque violin and harmonium (! yes, reed organ), is pure bliss.

This angel is sculptured so perfectly post-ironic, the maker could about qualify to meet woith us every sunday at mass (see that thread)

The one who envisioned and carved this figure probably had a smoke or two himself..

My understanding is that the angel dates back to the 1620's - a 1620's wood carver would be a nice supplement to the crowd of medieval dressed people in your thread about sunday mass. You could imitate the angel .. if your hair and body is up to it?   

[Frank Fremerey]

The angel himself looks drunk and decadent no sign of making him look nicer than necessary. A figure from the
magic flute. Monostatos. Of moral questionability. This in a church signals a huge sense of irony and humor.

great you captured it. Thank you.

St Marien, Big Klais Organ, today

1) nice edit
2) crazy edit

[Frank Fremerey]

And the small Klais, Choir Organ, there too. A very impressive instrument, bass plays deep into once guts and you feel it like the horn of an a huge steam ship in the harbour. You never believe this sound comes from such a small instrument. very impressive also the intonation...

Dear Frank,

Today the NikonGear GetTogether visited the cathedral in Freiburg.
As soon as I entered inside I was thinking of you and I was searching for the organ.
I did my best to make a sharp image. However, I am not sharply talented as can be seen.
Nevertheless, I hope you will like them.

Yours, Jakov

[Bjørn Rørslett]

I had to shoot the organ blindfolded. Not easy.

[HCS]

Well, i can't match that. But ... i'll post anyway.

[Frank Fremerey]

Jakov. You master of the unsharp universe. Supercool shot.
Thank you. We do some serious cooking without cameras today
...
I have to correct my self. There was am Olympus EM1 and a set of very best optics for that system.

But

Ro.Ro is better archiving these shots than giving me the chance of editing and publishing them....

...one day may be....

Jakov, the second one is superb!  Love the clear double-image of rosetta.  But, again, "show us the best one first" method applies here!
