This is a modern day runestone. Made by the talented Kalle Runristare. You can find the stone in Handen, the inscription reads something like: Residents from many different cultures from the housing cooperative had the stone raised after forty good years, may happiness and peace reign on Earth. Kalle did the carving. It's a beautiful work of art if you ask me. To see more of Kalle's work check out his web site here. Oh, and I did of course shoot this in the Brenizer style so this is 12 photos shot with the nifty fifty lens. I hunched down close to the runestone, took one shot with auto focus on. Turned it off and shot the rest on manual. Setting used:f-stop 1,8. Shutter speed (1/3200). ISO 100 and white balance on Sunny.
Isn't it unusual that contemporary artists have chosen to work in this ancient style? I like it but don't really understand the artistic intent.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a challenge to take this photo with the extreme white of the snow in the background.
ReplyDeleteNicely done..
ReplyDeleteA beautiful capture of a beautiful stone . Thanks Steffe for sharing with us the settings you used for this image.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting and superb photography!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of work - for you, I mean. The chicken with the key puzzles me.
ReplyDeleteThe actual shooting took under a minute. The stitching is fully automatic most of the time so I can't really say that it is hard work, but I kind of like the effect I get most of the time.
ReplyDeleteI really like it Steffe, the blurred background shows off the stone so much more effectively. Nice work indeed.
ReplyDeleteI think it's lovely too, especially with a blessing like that.
