Microphone - Karl Winkler




Another hobby of mine is microphones and recording. Saw this light on the wall through a window blind, and thought of putting the old microphone in there. Reminds me of some older styles.

Really good, once again!

Karl, once you show great eye along with perfect control over your camera. Nice diagonal lighting!

...is this a "steel-life" or a "still-life." Forgive my poor attempt at irony--I think the choice of negative film was just right. Jerome

Just beautiful

... just beautiful. Reminds me of the forties and Frank Sinatra doing Dorsey. Yes steel life.

Really

... is this done with a G1?

Once again, Thanks!

Wow, thanks to everyone for the kind words. I was very pleased myself to get these negatives, and of course I've never doubted the Zeiss optics. It is amazing what one can get with 35mm, good lighting, and a good tripod (just recently got a Manfrotto).

I can almost feel the metal

and the strips of sunlight on the wall really added to the mood. Not my type of shooting but you presented it in such a way that its easy to enjoy. Well done. ed

that's what I'm talking

about - more than just rich tones, real, palable, metal tones. And the soft diagonal light and shadows on the wall just sets it off. Fantastic

I would like to license this shot

Karl, I'm a documentary filmmaker, If you are interested in licensing this shot call me at (818) 752-2500. I'm working on a doc about music. Do you have more microphone shots?
