AP • 2016 Village Christmas Event

[Kodiak]

•

 

There is this tradition of a village Christmas market in this

country (Austria), like in many other European countries.

 

This year again, I was asked to cover the event: "As usual,

do what you want!" they said. So I did… as usual  :P

 

The old farm (13th century) is now a village event centre

for all kinds of social and cultural activities, and the market

is but one of many.

All over the central place, tents present local productions of traditional

seasonal treats as well as handcrafts from many private workshops.

The little girl was told to never play with fire… right!

The whole place is brilliantly lit with such decorations

Sure, traditional season's ornaments are offered too

…and some other goodies

Here, all know Santa but it is a bishop that brings the gifts…

surrounded by the now tamed bad forest spirits

Shot during the lantern walk, I proposed this picture (was accepted)

to produce the poster promoting next year's event

 

 

 

AP was used to remove wires, bins. price tags,

and many other uninteresting visual elements.

Fascinating! Thank you for sharing, for I am learning by studying your work and reading your thoughts on your own work and the work of others. I now search the forums for anything you and Aeros4 post because these posts are always of such high quality and match my photographic interests.

… match my photographic interests.

 

 

 

Wow, thanks Solly!

 

Aeros4 is, I believe, a passionate painter and I always

had a good time sharing ideas and considerations on

layout, light direction, composition, etc.

 

I am glad to inspire you in any way… makes my day!
