I love it that we continue this and find new participants from time to time. What would Nikongear be without the Organ Thread???

Lille, St Sauveur. A run-of-the-mill organ maybe, by the (very good) Belgian organ builder Pierre Schyven, late XIXth century. A sad testimony of our distracted times - the front pipes have been stolen by the German army in 1917 for being turned into weapons and ammunition, as well as bells (in Germany by too the way - vandalism knows no borders).

They have been replaced by relatively cheap zinc pipes after the war, instead of tin. Not that zinc sounds necessarily worse - but it looks worse, as it is impossible to get it shiny.

Df + 105/2.5, f/4, 1/125s, 9000 ISO (yesss), handheld of course.

Krakow, SS Peter and Paul. A composite organ, with a small XVIIIth century center element, and ugly alignments of pipes to hide complementary material from the early XXth I guess. Df, Tamron 45/1.8, f/5.6, 1/15s handheld, 1000 ISO. Bizarre looks, but the organ seems to sound pretty good.

The pipes display looks like abstract angel wings. I like the different design. The lens seems to work quite well but not optimal for the situation?

It's a strange organ yes ;)   The Tamron looks somehow 'flat', but it must have been pretty dark, I guess.

Not dark, but there was only diffuse light.

I see (feel?) a descending IQ towards the light sorce. Seems like an issue with the amount of diffuse light falling from the top onto the upper half of the front lense.
I've seen that behaviour before, unfortunately don't remember the lense.

Could be. one certainthing thought is, DOF is not infinite. Focus was on the XVIIIth organ case, and the aperture f/4.5 or so, with a rather steep angle and no tilt of course.

@Thomas: the alfresco painting drew my attention, a German Puvis de Chavannes so to say. Painter?

I think these are from Willi Spatz, painted around 1900.
The theme set is 'chritianization'.
Quite interesting tourist place, we had the luck of so-and-so weather which gave us plenty of room and time as it was not crowded the day.

Thanks for the details. Puvis was born 1824 and Spatz 1861, but that does not imply an influence of the former on the latter. From German Wikipedia : "Er ist besonders bekannt für seine großflächigen historisierenden Wand- und Ölgemälde. Insbesondere ein Wandgemäldezyklus in der Kapelle von Schloss Burg an der Wupper (entstanden von 1899 bis 1901) brachte ihm den Durchbruch für eine ganze Reihe weiterer derartiger Schöpfungen."

In the wikisphere, he's known in German and Russian only. A pity.

Superb images, gang. An amazing thread and an infinitely challenging photographic situation. Makes me want to go and put Vidor on the stereo.
